That link just brought me to eBay?
Haha surprisingly, no. I love watching trains cruise through the snow. Living with the snow is another matter, but watching Alaska Railroad's...
I just got back in the swing of railfanning, so I figured I'd share a few shots. I spent a year at a university in Alaska, but I'm back here in...
I know that freight railroads pay heavy property taxes on track to the states they operate in, but does Amtrak also have to pay...
That's excellent. I wouldn't mind having that, and converting it into an ATSF model train temple of sorts.
60-70 years. I run late steam, early diesel and I'm 19.
As an Alaskan modelling the NYC System, well over 3,000 miles.
I voted for option 1, although to be honest the reason I got into modeling and operating what I do started out with a childhood love for...
Northeastern late steam to mid-century diesels, almost entirely NYC System with a hand full of PRR equipment.
Nice shots. Bummer they don't let you on the property. Kinda annoying how stingy a lot of railroad employees are about getting up close to their...
What market are you talking about that will vanish? The non-operator/collector hobbyist? As for the prediction that the hobby will no longer be a...
I don't quite understand all the concern for model train prices. When I was 8 and a dedicated Lionel fanatic, I was shocked at their prices. I...
Excellent shot Adam!

Cool pictures everyone. @YoHo. Definitely enjoy seeing the PNWR units that never show themselves around the Toledo-Albany-Corvallis areas. Of...
At first I was sort of unimpressed with the idea of heritage units, and I haven't been all that excited about Union Pacific's examples. But since...
Its always bittersweet watching these old promotional films by fallen flag railroads, particularly NYC (and Penn Central) films. It seems all too...
Excellent picture. Love the lighting.
It is incredibly sad. But I would have done the same thing as Perlman if my company was in as poor shape as his.
Oh man, that had to be an amazing childhood. I've seen countless videos of those four track stretches. What a place to be. I'll check out the NYC...
