The NEW Passenger Train Journal
For the dedicated railfan -- the wait is over, Passenger Train Journal is back!
The new PTJ combines the best of the "old" magazine with new columns and contemporary coverage, in a color format with plenty of illustrations, including helpful maps. Columns and coverage will include:
Leisure Rail (formerly “Keeping Track”): Columnists and photographers Ted & Sylvia Blishak believe that the journey is as important as the destination. This is about train riding for pleasure. Visit tourist lines such as the Grand Canyon Railroad. Learn about rare mileage options with GrandLuxe Rail Journeys (formerly the American Orient Express). Come with us on special railfan tours, such as Trains Unlimited Tours’ “Domes Down the Valley” featuring vintage streamlined equipment from the 1950s.
Passenger railroading in the Classic Era--covering all your favorite trains and service from the good 'ole days!
North American Intercity: Karl Zimmerman covers Amtrak and VIA Rail Canada.
Rush Hour: In-depth exploration of commuter rail, heavy rail (subway, surface, and elevated) and light-rail (trolley) in North America.
Window on the World: What other countries are doing.
The Journal: For easy reference, timeline-style documentation of rail-passenger-related events every quarter.
