  2. 🚂 Train station in Roseville, Calif. on July 21, 2025.

    What year do you think it was built?
    I was shocked to hear it was built in 1994! Inside is a collection of murals documenting the rail history of Roseville, which is home to the largest rail yard in California.

    It's also the hub for railfans in the area who help maintain the train cameras in the area (link in comments).

    The California Zephyr stopped in Roseville for about 30 minutes, a rare occurrence, allowing us to explore the charming station that serves Amtrak and Greyhound customers.

  11. There's a model train show in nearby Xenia, OH this weekend. If you're a railfan you might want to peruse our selection of train books & classic model railroad magazines. These two looks into railroad history have just been added to our shelves!

    11/16/23 Open 6-9p. No open containers, please.

  12. attention #bayarea #railfans of #Caltrain :

    """
    Starting September 25, 2023, Caltrain will begin electric train testing on weeknights between San Jose and Mountain View. Testing is expected to continue until Summer 2024. Each trainset must be tested for 1,000 miles before being placed into service, which is planned for September 2024.

  13. I miss that one time when I rode the Silver Meteor down to Orlando, it was really nice to lay back and cuddle up with plushies as I watched the scenery pass by, especially with a heritage unit pulling our train

  14. #railfans #portland what are these particular symbols on openrailmaps? I know there's no service outage for this line so it's not that. I thought it was signals but the other lines don't show these?

  15. I haven't tooted about #trains lately, so it's a good time to fix that:

    Someone set up a camera to record every train that goes by their flat, then runs computer vision software to make elongated images and get speeds and lengths. I'm jealous! trains.jo-m.ch/#/trains/list

  16. Railway Age publishing an essay on electrification is wonderful because now I won't be the only hobby essayist getting harassed by fellow railfans online for saying electrification is good, actually.

  17. Is anyone here familiar with Newington Armoury in Sydney? If so, what's the story behind the extremely narrow gauge tracks there?

  18. Interesting spot at Santa Clara this morning. 2 UP engines and a Federal Railroad Association Office Safety car. #Caltrain #railfans.

  19. This video is a carefully curated compilation of podcasts and YouTube videos that promotes an uncritical view of the new Metro rail project in Montreal. That said, what has been achieved there is impressive and is in steak contrast to what has transpired in Anglo cities of Toronto and Montreal.

  20. I had a good day at the #modeltrainclub running my UP and VIA passenger train consists for some young enthusiastic #railfans

    They had a blast taking pictures of the HO and N scale layouts , and getting to take the reins of some of the locomotives.

    I'm so happy to help be able to give wonderful opportunities like I had at that age and foster more of that passion.

  21. Not mentioned in my #introduction, but I'm an #archivist who works at Age of Steam Roundhouse #Museum. We are working to establish a formal archives to preserve information related to Ohio #railroad #history and our collection of steam locomotives.
