Railfan and Railroad is back
Today there was a new Railfan & Railroad in my mailbox. Congratulations to White River Productions for producing an excellent issue. We need R&R to balance the coverage of the industry in relation to Trains. This is especially true as Trains has become more of an industry focused magazine. It is good to have choice.
