TRAINS is more pertinent now than it ever has been. I have subscribed to TRAINS since 1957. In fact, it was Clyde Carley’s article about the SP trainmaster at Ennis, R. E. Dipprey, that made me decide at a very young age to make a career out of railroad operations. I look forward to the arrival of each month’s trains as much now as I did when I was a teenager but for different reasons. TRAINS is relevant and not beholden to suppliers or railroad management. It’s regular contributors do not hesitate to challenge strategy or policy. Fred Frailey has been a personal favorite of mine for many years. Still I would sometimes get very nervous about the things he would report and opine from time to time.
TRAINS has a following it has not always had: people in the industry interested in perspective from outside their organizations, and readers who are not industry insiders who have a curiosity about how things really work.
If TRAINS had not evolved I would probably not have remained a subscriber.
