Steve Boyko has put together a list of the top ten railfanning spots in New Brunswick. I travel to New Brunswick from time to time so I should make a note of this: some of the locations look interesting.
Steve Cox changes his mind, reintegrates his N-scale model railroad and railfanning blogs back into a single blog (previously). Marcel Marchon found some more rail and transit blogs a couple of weeks back. Highlights include transit blogs Transit Sleuth and Live from the Third Rail, both of which covers rail transit issues from light rail […]
Marcel has the best blogroll, where I discover the following blogs about trains, most with a fairly specific focus: Alta Velocidad Ferroviaria is a Spanish-language blog about high-speed rail. Amtrak Tracking for My Commute Between New York City and Philadelphia‘s title is self-explanatory — it started as a way of tracking Amtrak’s on-time performance — […]
Steve Cox used to have just one railroad blog; yesterday he split it in two. Coxy’s N Scale Blog focuses on his model railroading: DCC, modelling in N scale and model railroading and children are topics he’s tackled so far; Coxy’s Railroad Blog deals with the “prototype stuff” — viz., railfan photography. I don’t think […]
A Union Pacific 4-6-6-4 Challenger — presumably UP #3985 — at Dunsmuir, California in September, 2005: Note the two auxiliary water tenders and the two large diesels running backup, including the Western Pacific heritage unit.
R. Parent has a very nice set of photos of Canadian Pacific’s Holiday Train in upstate New York. Previously: Holiday Train Roundup; ORHF’s Holiday Express; Daily Flickr Photo: Caltrain Holiday Train; Canadian Pacific Holiday Train; Holiday Trains.
John West has spent nearly five decades taking pictures of trains, and he’s posted a collection of them online. It’s a bit hard to navigate (the photos are actually spread over several discrete user pages), but there’s a lot of first-rate stuff here: recent photos of Chinese steam; Rio Grande narrow gauge in the 1960s; […]

Railway Roundabout is an interesting blog: its main focus is on Japanese rail service (including city rail, maglev and freight; lots of stuff about Japanese passenger service), but with plenty of digressions into British railway history. It also makes use of another synonym for trainspotter, railfan, or FRN: “gricer” — which, according to the Urban […]
A year ago I wrote about three railfanning blogs. What are they up to now? While the Australian Railway Blog still hasn’t posted anything since March 2005, Dogcaught, which focuses on the Pacific Northwest, is still going strong, and posting some sharp (and big!) pictures. TrainBlog covers a lot of news about passenger rail; railfan […]
