About Classic Trains Magazine

Classic Trains is a trains magazine that celebrates the nostalgic North American railroad scene of the 1920s through 1970s.

Classic Trains explores America's railroad heritage for locomotive enthusiasts. It offers editorial on a wide range of topics, from the steam giants and streamliners to passenger terminals and railroaders, and so much more! The publication honors the golden age of railroading with factual stories and vintage photographs.

Feature articles have included: "Mr. L&N," which highlights the life of Charlie Castner, a railroad professional and fan, who has promoted and studied the Louisville & Nashville Railroad for over 80 years; "Penn Station Playground," which tells the story of a boy who learns about the wider railroad world during afternoons at the station during the early '60s; "The Great Northeast Railroad Debacle," which covers Penn Central, one of history's great scams, and the crisis and fallout that led to the rebirth of American railroading; and "Colorful Diesel Days," which showcases the bright new looks of the 1960s.

Anyone with an interest in railroad history will enjoy a subscription to Classic Trains.
