Your rider was one of the last orphan train riders, as the New York Legislature banned the out-of-state placement of orphans from New York State in November of 1929. We never share a letter without the express permission of the rider or the family. Incidentally, we treat itinerary letters for actual riders in the same manner as the Children’s Aid Society and the New York Foundling Hospital treat their records. In your instance, the people who helped put together the itinerary included the folks at the Upper Musselshell Historic Society of Harlowton, Montana. Many railroad historians and rail fans helped with this project via various railroad historical societies and Yahoo groups on the Internet. We used the information in your novel Orphan Train to develop a train trip itinerary for your train rider, Vivian Daley, using the Official Railroad Guide from 1929. ![]() Developed by The Orphan Train Project: Making a Difference ![]()
