From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is the list of railroaders as noted in White, John H., Jr. (Spring 1986). "America's most noteworthy railroaders". Railroad History 154: pp. 9-15. ISSN 0090-7847. OCLC 1785797. . I am using this as a way to quickly find which of these people have articles and which do not. You will note that the list is presented here in a slightly different format than the original, as the original had no way of even knowing Wikipedia existed.
