5.0 out of 5 stars
outstanding regional coverage,
By C. Zimmerman "train nut, shutter bug, compute... (Mechanicsburg, PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Railpace Magazine (Magazine)
Not only do I really like Railpace but my wife reads every issue as soon as it arrives. I literally have to try and race home quickly to get it out of the mailbox first if I don't want to be behind her on the reading, and she's not a train-nut. We both enjoy the information of local interest (we live in PA) but we've also found the photography and information about the Boston area and others that we don't travel to to be outstanding and informative. Each issue is packed with tons and tons of great photography, outstanding news items, as well as information about upcoming train shows or special passenger trains.I was getting Trains magazine for a while, but it is too much geared to the industry of trains, like if you happen to own a railroad or worked for one. I don't, I'm just a guy who likes to ride a few trains a year and maybe go watch one pass by at the local crossing and now I can stay on top of all of the things going on in my area. But even if you're more involved and actually track trains, this magazine is for you, too. A few times there has even been coverage of the same story in both Trains and Railpace. For example, the Baldwins that run in NJ. The Trains article was brief, but the Railpace coverage had 5-times the photos and way more text about the operation, not to mention maps and other unique information. Railpace is outstanding in its historical coverage as well. There are often articles on a branch line or a junction and Railpace prints rare photos showing how things were configured years ago and contrasting that to today's operations. It is great to learn the history this way. An overall outstanding magazine if you live anywhere in the North East US and have any interest in trains at all.
