User:Slambo/Railroaders

This is the list of railroaders as noted in White, John H. Jr. (Spring 1986). "America's Most Noteworthy Railroaders". Railroad History. 154: 9–15. ISSN 0090-7847. JSTOR 43523785. 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.
