Congrats to Ken Fitzgerald for winning vol. 167 of Trackside with his "Union Pacific Austin sub" photo.

The theme for volume 168 of Trackside with Trains is: Unit trains.

The deadline for volume 168 reader submissions is Friday, July 1.



All submissions must meet the following criteria, please use this list as a checklist before you send in your image:

  • Only .jpgs will be accepted. PLEASE NO SCANS, only digital image. 
Images must be no larger than 1024 pixels wide.
  • E-mail your image to trackside@trains.com. Any image e-mailed to a different address will not be considered.
  • When you e-mail your photo, please make the subject line: “Trackside vol. XXX submission.” For example, this round is volume 168, so the e-mail subject line should read, “Trackside vol.  168 submission”
