#82482: Whitewater Valley Railroad

A picture collage of the Whitewater Valley Railroad includes a horizontal image across the top showing the excursion train crossing a metal trestle perched atop 3 stone pilings built in the Whitewater River-West Fork. The jet black engine, with its light on, is pulling five cars in the springtime as the blooming trees catch the evening sun.
The image on the lower right shows the excursion train’s jet black engine pulling a string of historic cars past the reconstructed, two-story, green-siding clad Dearborn Crossing switching tower and the refurbished Rushville Depot with its green siding and bright red roof. Both were relocated to this historic site.

On the lower left is a picture of an older gentleman serving as a train conductor. He is standing on the bottom step of a railroad car greeting riders. The green rail car next to him has a red sign, trimmed in a gold band emblazoned with “Welcome Aboard.” The rail car behind him is a jet black passenger car. Both cars have bright yellow handles and framed steps for passenger safety.
