Railroads and Kids: Public Relations and the Internet

Trains Magazine General Discussion

I remember in the 1950’s sending away for a packet of information on railroading from the AAR. I waited and checked the mailbox everyday like Ralphie waiting for his decoder ring in Christmas Story…Here I am decades later and find that a Class One is actually reaching out to those who may ultimately either work for or become a fan of the road…of this dreams are made…

That’s wonderful! CP has a tradition of tradition, if you know what I mean. Very proactive of them to get started young. They might just raise a generation of young Canadians who, in their politics and practices, will have a much better idea about what a railway is and what it can do. I wish them well and wish some of the lines down here would do similar acts. - a.s.
