The purpose of the book is to bring together all the possible information on this railroad not already in print up to the operation of the tourist railroad operation. Two books are already in print relating to the tourist railroad and I do not seek to duplicate any information in those books. It is also a tribute to the Whitewater Valley railroaders of the past and present. Information for this book was drawn from thousands of newspaper articles, pictures not in the previous books, maps, audits, personal testimonies, ICC valuation maps, engineering notes, employee, and public timetables, etc. Much credit is also given to the Whitewater Canal which sparked manufacturing in the Whitewater Valley. This is a comprehensive collection and perhaps will help you learn more about the line and solve some of your unanswered questions too.
