what is your favorite railroad magazine devoted to our hobby ?[8D]
Duh! Trains Magazine.
CC
The Railroad Press
My favorite isn’t published anymore. “Railroad Stories” from the 1930’s and early 1940’s.
No thought required here- Trains all the way.
Mine was VINTAGE RAILS - while it was being published, it was great.
Since it’s not, any more, it’s TRAINS and CLASSIC TRAINS.

It was Pacific Rail News, SP Review, or Flimsies/Flimsies West; all of which focused on western railroading (SP in one case) and none of which are published anymore. The only railfan magazines I currently subscribe to is Trains and SP Trainline. Unfortunately, from what I have seen, SP Trainline seems to focus primarily on the transition era. Hopefully they will start to have more articles about SP in the 80s and 90s.
I’m going to have to say that my favorite railroad magazine is Trains all the way. My second favorte is going to have to be The Railroad Press, third favorite Extra 2200 South.
Um…it’s at the top of this page in big ole red letters.

I am a fan of the old Railroad Magazine and its predecessor Railroad Stories.
CTC BOARD!!!

Trains is the only one I buy.
Railfan & Railroad and The Railroad Press.
Easy: CLASSIC TRAINS with TRAINS as a distant second (but closing the gap lately).
I am with you there. They always have great articles on historic railroads, and i love the issues on ALCos, and all eastern roads . (TRP, and Trains have great photos)
I like SP Trainline,Railpace,CTC Board before they dropped the news[:(],C&NW Historical Society’s magazine,and Trains. Not necessarally in that order.
All of 'em,although I was partial to Passenger Train Journal and Vintage Rails.But the two biggies were Trains and Railroad,which my dad introduced me to in the late fifties/early sixties.
All of them. There all the best.
I totaly agree and would add CTC Board when they focused on news not pictures. But I would have to say Trains by default.
If only we had a place on the net that did news like flemsies used to instead of all the usual misinformed articles on grade crossing accidents and whistle bans written by reporters that have no clue about trains.
