Naugatuck Railroad: Founded in 1996, the Naugatuck Railroad is a common carrier railroad owned and operated by the Railroad Museum of New England on tracks leased from the Connecticut Department of Transportation.  The original Naugatuck Railroad was a railroad chartered to operate through south central Connecticut in 1845, with the first section opening for service in 1849.  In 1887 the line was leased by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, and became wholly owned by 1906.  At its greatest extent the Naugatuck ran from Bridgeport north to Winsted.  Today's Naugatuck Railroad runs from Waterbury to the end of track in Torrington, Connecticut.  From Waterbury south to the New Haven Line, Metro-North Railroad operates commuter service on the Waterbury Branch.

Sublette, New Mexico: Sublette is a railroad town in northern Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, built as a section station in 1880.  It is located north-east of Chama, just south of the Colorado state line and at milepost 306.1 of the former Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad.  When the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad abandoned its narrow gauge lines in the late 1960s, two parts of the system were preserved independently: the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad from Antonito to Chama, including Sublette itself, and the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.  Sublette sits at an elevation of 9,281 feet in the southeastern San Juan Mountains.

Its core Midwest system was merged into the Soo Line Railroad on January 1, 1986.  The Pacific Coast Extension from the Midwest to the Pacific Northwest, planned between 1901 and 1906 and built between 1906 and 1909, was carried out under the auspices of the "Chicago, Milwaukee and Puget Sound Railroad."  This corporate entity was folded into its parent company in 1912.

Holly Grove Historic District: The Holly Grove Historic District encompasses the historic central business district of Holly Grove, Arkansas.  It covers about one block of Arkansas Highway 86, between Pine and Smith Streets, extending slightly in each direction beyond.  The road is at this point divided by a median that formerly carried a railroad right of way, and was historically known as Main Street; the westbound lanes are now called Dr. Herd E. Stone Street, and the eastbound lanes Ralph Abramson Street.  The district includes a collection of one and two-story brick buildings, most with vernacular commercial styling typical of the 1920s.  The town grew as a railroad town beginning in the 1870s, its success spurred in part by a successful railroad tie-making business.

Monett, Missouri: Monett was created as a railroad town by the St. Louis–San Francisco Railway ("Frisco Line") which came through in 1870 and would build branch going off the main line to Paris, Texas.  Both lines are still in existence and operated by the BNSF Railway.  During this time the area went through several names including Kings Prairie Depot, Plymouth, Plymouth Junction (when the southern branch was built in 1880), Gonten (named for the local post master because the Post Service said there were other Plymouths); and finally Monett in 1887 when the area was formally platted and the Monett name was applied to the post office.  It was named for Henry Monett who was a popular general station agent for various railroads including the New York, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad ("Nickel Plate Railroad") before becoming an agent for the New York Central Railroad shortly before his death at the age of 35 in 1888.
