Below is an an announcement from our new owner. I would like to add that I am very excited about the direction railroad.net has been taking. Rest assured that your comments on the website directed to me are reviewed and forwarded to the new ownership where warranted, even if I don't have time to respond directly to you. Combining the new home page (click on the new logo above), which uses a different template, with the phpBB forum software, has been a huge undertaking.
I know there have been many concerns about the html tag/coding "radio" buttons not working, and hopefully now that the format of the site seems to be finalized, we can get that fixed.
If you do have a comment, I prefer direct emails to [email protected], but feel free to leave them in this topic as well.
I may have previously spoken to some of you about submitting articles, trip reports, and news to us. Although I've been very busy with the general administration of the site (approving new users, moderating certain high-visibility forums and topics, and combatting spam so that you never see it), rest assured that I have not forgotten you. If I have not spoken to you, and you are interested in contributing, please see below.
From it's beginnings in 1996 with John, to Henry, to Mike and Otto, to the current owner, Railroad.net has grown into a respected source of railroad information.

Hello forum member,
We hope that you are enjoying being a member of the railroad.net forum. Our membership continues to grow and our forum discussions are very active. While we continue to focus on building and maintaining our leading railroad forum, we have been thinking about additional ways in which we could add even more value for railroad enthusiasts.
Recently, we launched a railroad news section. This section is promoted on the Railroad.net homepage and it updates daily with news, opinions, and commentary on the Railroad industry. The news is categorized in the following 5 sections: Amtrak, Freight Rail, High-Speed Rail, Passenger Rail and Railroad Events. Readers are encouraged to comment under our news stories.
You can subscribe to our email alerts http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailv ... ilroadnews to get a daily email with the stories posted that day.
If you are interested in becoming a guest contributor to our railroad news section, send us an email at [email protected]. Tell us about your specific interests and what types of topics you’d like to write about on Railroad.net. We’ll then get back to you to discuss the next steps.
