Upcoming Trackside Guides

[Anonymous]

The Toledo / Northwest Ohio would be a good addition.
Lots and lots of trains.
Fostoria article was excellant.
The Vickers CSX/NS crossing is road accessable and you see a lot in a short period of time.
I meet and see trainwatchers quite often at other Ohio hot spots.
I have given directions to many out of towners for the best sites for watching in T Town where you can be close and not get into trouble.
The NS cops can be quite a pain in Toledo, especially near Union Station.
You need to be careful to stay on Port Authority property or the take your name
drivers license, car plate number etc.

I am still interested in seeing these trackside guides available on line, either in HTML or Adobe PDF format. As a web site developer who works in HTML, I would like to help out with this project if you are willing to enlist volunteers to work on them.

Good suggestion to have a perforated, three hole punch version. I suggest an additional innovation instead: please consider publishing these as either a separate, individual "reprint" on heavier stock, or as a consolidated pamphlet containing all of them, or at least regional ones. Then you may increase your market and provide an additional way for railfans to purchase and use them on trips. I am thinking along the lines of Rand McNally type glossy with a cover. I know other publishers have done similar rail guides, but your format is unique and there is room in the marketplace for the concept.

Excellent Idea!!!!!!!

I am suprised no one has mentioned St. Louis and Peoria, Illinois. There are two vital east west connection points with the RR. A St. Louis one would be very helpful and informative.

I notice that Pittsburgh & Denver are in your plans. Great!

I'd like to suggest adding Cleveland & Montreal.

Keep up your work on this. It is one of the best new features of your magazine.

You may find some railfan-friendly locations on my web page at http://www.railfanswelcome.com that may be useful for future Guides, and there are several locations on the web page in areas of previous trackside guides.

All things considered, a trackside guide for Chicago would be excellent although the sheer size might be a problem. With the existing format, even a lifetime Chicagoan like me would learn a few new things and discover some new spots.

Trackside Guides is one of Trains best features - keep em coming.

Is there a rule that says they must come out just after I stop visiting a place on business?

I second ST Louis, FT Worth, Toledo/NW Ohio, and Denver. LA and SF/Oakland a must, as well! All shamelessly based on where I think I can railfan in the near future, of course.

Chicago, my kind of town...would be nice to see again as much has changed since the last one, many years ago. Don't forget the suburbs have at least as many good trackside spots as the city does, and are generally much safer. Jim

I would love to see a guide to the NEC. Boston to Washington - showing all the major stations and industries. I'm in Delaware and we have a Chrysler plant off the NEC.

I'd like to see a guide for the Chicago area or maybe Chicago & Northwest Indiana. I was sorry that one was not included in the Chicago issue.

Hello Mark,

Long time no see! 20 years have slipped away, since our days of digging dirt in Denver. What we wouldn't do for trains. When I saw that you had become editor, I subscribed immediatly. Your editorials are always dead on, and they are the first thing I look at every month.

I'm living in the Twin Cities, and the trackside guide couldn't have come at a better time, as I am just starting construction of my dream layout. Basicly, it is the route of the Amtrak Empire Builder from Red wing to Coon Creek Junction and all the freight traffic to go with it. Busy, busy, busy with BNSF, CP, and UP sharing, crossing and interchanging.

Keep up the good work, and email me if you get a chance.

Mark,

Can't wait for Denver. There is a lot of rail action here and finding safe spots to railfan is easy.

I assume the Coors beer run will be featured but you might want to check out the BNSF line across the south Platte. Among various light industies is an ice creamery which sees occasional syrup tankers.

There's more than just coal runs here.
