Got mine to in fact I just got it out of the mail box about 20 minutes ago. Can't wait to read it

[eolafan]

Just walked in the door at home and found mine waiting on my kitchen table...will report on what I think Saturday after I read it.

.......Wow, TRAINS mag arriving on the 22nd of the month....Is that some kind of record.  I certainly never have had it that early in decades I've subscribed to it..

[MOJAX]

I’m in Florida and my copy most likely won’t show for another week.

[blhanel]

Got mine today as well- excellent narrative on the Clovis Sub, Fred!

[CShaveRR]

Sounds like it might be fodder for our upcoming trip--at least the part west of Albuquerque.  Mine arrived today, same day as its competitor.  Yes, the 22nd is early, but is six days ahead of the end of the month early, too?  (I think so!)

Edit:  Looking at both the article (which was typically well done) and the atlas, I find that we won't be following the route too closely--what major highway could?  That will have to wait for a longer (time) or shorter (distance/destination) trip in the future.

Just got home and finished reading the great article about Harold Borovec. I remember taking a ride on the train when I was stationed at Fort Lewis. Good piece of reporting Kurt A.

We got our copy in the mail yesterday, also!  It usually doesn't come in until Saturday.  Read through it last night.  Really liked all the articles.  Excellent issue!!

[Mookie]

I didn't get mine.  The Driver got the mail first and now won't give it up!  He said he wants to make sure it is ok for me to read.....

I just got my Trains Today Friday 23, 2007.

[Modelcar]

 

.......Wow, TRAINS mag. arriving so many places so early.  Here too, today the 23rd....Almost a record to recieve it so early.  That BNSF article and Photos look inviting.

[emmar]

Still waiting for mine. I think it takes longer to get out to the west coast.

I hope it comes soon.

[Railfan1]

Still waiting for mine....

[emmar]

Yippie. I came home to find that my parents had picked up my issue of trains from the post office this afternoon.  I think this is the earliest that I have ever recieved it.  Now all I have to do is manage to get it away from my parents so I can read it. Hope everyone else gets theirs soon.

[CShaveRR]

Hey, Emma, be thankful your parents are interested.  I know they're supportive, but interest is even better.

If it's your magazine, you'll probably get it when your homework's done.

Anyone have an opinion on the cover shot? I would liked to have seen last month's logo version used. The in your face photo was good, but I thought it looked too cluttered with the large red background of the logo blocking the sky above it. It is a good issue though.

[CShaveRR]

I'm partial to the old banner, but think that all of the words covering the picture are distracting.  Did the magazine not sell with just the banner and the cover photo--and maybe just a plug for one article?

[tatans]

Well, just got back from Gas 'n' Go and still no Trains.

[al-in-chgo]

Finally finished reading my April Trains and enjoyed the story on the BNSF Southwest Division very much (best story in the mag).  Also enjoyed the article on the Oneida Western "Green Train".  Otherwise the edition was typical (i.e. very good) TRAINS.
