I too would be interested in an article regarding the Pennsylvania E-8's with their tuscan red consist and their circle route they traveled....The streetcar piece was fine with me, having seen some of those older cars pictured in use. Believe Mr. Wrinn is doing a good job. Item: Would like to see some abandoned routes pictured from time to time...

QUOTE: Originally posted by B747 I have subscribed to this magazine for 20yrs this month, keep it coming! Gabe: this is a great topic for monthly update I rate the Jan 06' issue a 6 on the "best issue ever" 1-10 scale I love the new sections, like crossties, loco repair when flooded etc. keep these kinds of topics coming I wi***hat the "Ask Trains" section were expanded, I'm sure people have more that 4 questions a month. I asked what I thought to be a very interesting question about mainline track scales where they weigh trains on the fly in WV back in Jun 2004, but never recieved a response. I too am not a trolly / commuter / interurban fan, but I'm sure others like it, so i'm glad it's there for them. I have always enjoyed Don Phillips column, however I have noticed that since he has moved to Paris, he has spent most of his time comparing Europe's successes with America's commuter system shortcomings. No offence Don, I still read every word. To the editors: I read every printed word with the exception of the above mentioned commuter stuff, keep up the excellent product that you produce. Brian .
QUOTE: Originally posted by gabeI agree about the "ask trains section." I often felt--to advertise the forum better as well as to beef up one of my favorite sections--they should pull a question off of this forum every month and give it a definitive answer. Gabe

I just thought that people talking about the magazine from month to month would be useful to the magazine and it would be useful to me to see other people's opinions about the articles. Gabe I respect your like of Trollys. But, I see them as bus lines with more constraints rather than short passenger trains.
