[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by artmark</i> <br /><br />TRAINS has always had non-contemporary features. I bought it in the '60s to learn hwhat it was all about as a foundation. Same goes for today. I agree with Jay. <br />If we didn't have these types of features, all it would be is a million pics of BNSF, UP, NS, and CSX motive power with a pic or two of a recent dinner train. <br />Mitch <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Mitch- <br /> <br />You are missing my point. It is not one feature about the past we are talking about here. It is a change of direction. First, ALL the feature articles in the March issue are from the 70s. By my count there are 14 feature articles inthe issue all dealing with the 70s. I find some quite interesting, but I read Classic TRAINS when I want a complete magazine about the past. Also, as others have noted Railroad Reading has disappeared, Mark Hemphill's column is gone (although Mark did write the SP article which is most interesting) and the look and feel is definitely changing. <br /> <br />Obviously Jim Wrinn needs to find his footing as Editor and perhaps future issues will be different, but I hope we're not seeing a new trend that will again split TRAINS core audience both railfans and railroaders. <br /> <br />LC
