General Discussion (Classic Trains)

Like Classic Trains magazine itself, this forum celebrates the "golden years of railroading." Covering the railroad scene from the late 1920s to the late 1970s, this forum section is everything from giant steam locomotives and colorful streamliners, to the dieselization-era. Share your recollections here! If you're new here, please read our forum policies.
