http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/423365880

The Troy & Rutland Rail Road collection contains a variety of legal and financial papers as well as correspondence between board members and their colleagues. Legal documents: bond agreements, indentures, mortgage papers, and legal summons. Financial accounts: cost estimates, expenditures, and delivery receipts. Several folders containing proxy voting certificates and ballot slips as well as one oversize box with engineering drawings. Collection also features miscellaneous items of interest such as a field book and several copies of the Troy Daily Whig. Box 4: Oversized: contains undated engineering drawings circa 1850. Items mainly loose papers plus one bound book. Drawings include several depot plans as well as land surveys and measurements for abutments and track line. Specifically mentions Foster's Bridge, Prospect Avenue, the Hoosic River, Owl Kill Bridge, the Batten Kill, and stations at Cambridge and White Creek. The majority of the records in this collection would have been maintained by Troy & Rutland secretary William Law; however, his resignation as secretary in 1853 means that the records did come under the jurisdiction of other board members from 1853 to 1855.
