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, The Railway and Locomotive Historical Society, 154, p. 9-15.. 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.
