There was a time in this country when railroads crisscrossed the nation, one could find a pair of railroad tracks only a very short distance from their home, and almost every town, large and small, boasted a train station of some type. Sadly, as the 20th century progressed rail began to lose its luster and in the waning days between the 1950s and 1970s enormous amounts of our rail heritage was either abandoned or ripped up, most notably structures and landmarks such as New York City’s legendary Pennsylvania Station and the Central Railroad of New Jersey’s magnificent Newark Bay Bridge. Since that time the public has taken a greater interest in preserving our remaining rail history, including important railroad lines (either still standing and/or in place today) and stations/depots. I have always held a personal interest in trains for most of my life, from everything to the miniature models that one can purchase at their local hobby shop to the real thing. Over that time I have begun to use the Internet more and more as a resource tool to find answers on rail-related questions I have had. While there are dozens and dozens of excellent websites out there for one to locate these answers I was finding it a bit frustrating that there was no one website which did this. After some time I began to think, why not just create such a website myself? And that, in a nutshell, is the basis behind American-Rails.com, a website dedicated not only to bringing awareness about our country’s railroad history, both past and present, but also as a resource tool describing and educating about American railroading in general. Similarly, it is my hope that American-Rails.com can be a beneficial guide for both those “railfans” out there like myself who may want to know the detailed particulars on a subject (for instance, say, the true history of the downfall and collapse of the fabled Milwaukee Road) as well as someone with a passing interest looking for an answer to a common railroading question. I will state up front that I in no way claim to be a bonefide expert on the industry and while the information presented here at American-Rails.com is as accurate as I can possibly make it I am aware that there is the likelihood for a minor error here or there so please feel very free to send me an e-mail if you see a correction which needs to be made (and my sincere thanks in advance). This is perfectly fine with me because I am very interested in always learning more about railroading myself as well as helping others with questions they might have. With all of the above said, I really appreciate your time and interest in visiting the site and without bugging you further feel free to explore around the site using either the navigation buttons located along the left side of the page or the links here at the bottom of the homepage. Have fun and I hope you enjoy the site! Finally, the Facebook page feed you see listed here is not related to trains. However, it is a small business just recently started by family and being the good relative I thought I should at least give them a mention! Anyway, they will primarily be focusing on selling kids' clothes although if things go really well they may branch into other areas such as quilts, women's purses, etc. If you think you might be interested in checking out what they have to offer please "Like" their Facebook page (right now it is the only way to follow them although you can also bookmark the page if you do not have a Facebook account). (A deep thanks to the Museum of the Rockies at Montana State University for allowing Ron Nixon's historic collection to be featured here. Please note that the photos featured on this page and across the website feature their corresponding image number so that you may quickly and easily find more information about it from their website. To view Ron Nixon's entire collection please click here.
