The Rutland and Whitehall Railroad was a railroad in Vermont ( United States ). It was founded on November 9, 1831, but initially did not start building the railway. On November 14, 1848, the foundation was completed again and the company now built a standard-gauge railway line, which was the eastern continuation of the Washington Railroad under construction in the state of Vermont. The entire route from Whitehall to Castleton went into service on October 1, 1850. Rutland & Whitehall owned only the 11 km section of the route, which is located in Vermont. Both companies ran the business together. From 1852 the route of the Rutland and Washington Railroad to Rutland joined in Castleton .

The Washington Railroad, which traded as Saratoga and Whitehall Railroad from 1855, leased Rutland & Whitehall from May 1, 1856 and was in turn leased on April 1, 1865 by the Rensselaer and Saratoga Railroad , which finally bought the two companies in 1868 and merged with them. Later the train went to the Delaware and Hudson Railway , which it sold to the Clarendon and Pittsford Railroad in December 1983 . The route is still operated by passengers today, the Amtrak runs it with the Ethan Allen Express .
