Trains has an opening in the editorial department for an associate editor. We’re looking for a journalist who knows and loves railroading with a tremendous commitment to producing the best magazine and Web site possible. The person who is selected will work with lead news section, the locomotive column, feature stories, and our daily NewsWire. Here’s a rare opportunity to join the staff of the magazine of railroading! Details under the careers tab at www.kalmbach.com.
Meanwhile, please congratulate Andy Cummings who leaves us for the media relations department of Canadian Pacific. We have enjoyed Andy’s work and friendship, and both the magazine and the Web site have been better for his presence here!
Good luck to Andy!..but not enough to change my vote in this week’s Trackside photo’s. He will be working with some good people who I have had the opportunity to work with over the last couple of years
And good luck to Kalmbach and Trains in your search for quality candidates. I hope the choice is a hard one.
Good luck to you Andy, you WILL be missed! And if you heading to Canada make sure you bring two thinks, a good fishing rod (best trout fishing I’ve ever seen was in Canada) , and WARM clothing! It get COLD up there Brother!
Andy, best of luck for you as you move on. As others have said, you will be missed. But, hopefully, we’ll ‘see’ you pop in once in a while, just to say “Hi” and to let us know how you’re doing. Godspeed to you.
I too wish Andy well. Journalism is a young person’s profession, and many of the good ones graduate to higher-paying PR jobs like Andy has scored at CP. At the same time, I hope his replacement, as another young journalist, will not share Andy’s romantic ideas about the northern Great Plains reverting to nature and the buffalo – probably to Indians too.
Those seemed to be recurrent themes with Andy’s writings – and have been amply refuted by the prosperity that has returned to this area with energy development and higher ag prices. Yeah, the birthrate is lower than we would like – but that’s true in places like Milwaukee, Cleveland and New York City too.
