"The journal looks wonderful. For example, your cover of the Gallagher picture of Relay and "Railroad History" in buff is gorgeous—that cover should win an award."

—Bill Sawicki,
Philadelphia, Pa

"I always thought the contents of Railroad History were excellent, but I have been impressed with changes made in recent issues. It has been made more interesting, colorful, and contemporary. And the writing sparkles. I eagerly anticipate future issues."

—Richard Karberg,
Cleveland, Ohio

"I greatly enjoy Railroad History because it chronicles not only trains long gone, but catches the echoes of trains returning in ways past generations valued. Through original articles and superb images, it showcases a technology that solves problems of sprawl, traffic jams, and energy waste."

—John R. Stilgoe, professor of
landscape history, Harvard
University, and author
of Metropolitan Corridor

"I was especially pleased with the Autumn 2001 issue. Your story about the actions taken by PATH personnel immediately following the first attack on the World Trade Center was timely, appropriate, informative, and something little covered in other media. Really recent history tells us a lot about railroads and what they mean to America."

—John F. Humiston,
Olympia Fields, Ill.

"I wish to add my voice to those of many others who find Railroad History to be the most important and influential publication in its field. For many years it has served the role of providing the latest and most seminal work on railroad history to a wide body of readers. The writing and scholarship is first-rate, the topics diverse, and the quality of intellectual excitement consistently high."

—Maury Klein, professor, University
of Rhode Island, and author
of Union Pacific and The
Life and Legend of Jay Gould.

"I want to thank you for your excellent publication on railroads and locomotives. It is very important to write about the history of a technology which has been neglected in many countries, including the United States and Pakistan. We have ambitious plans to refurbish Pakistan railways, but I am afraid it will require a lot of investment capital which does not appear to be available at present."

—Anwar Kemal,
Ambassador of Pakistan to Egypt,
Cairo, Egypt

"After digesting your photo essays, I found myself drawn into the main feature articles. They were all well done. Thanks for this feast of good reading!"

—Timothy R. Jorgenson,
Milwaukee, Wis.

"The graphics and photos are great, whereas they used to be somewhat stodgy, and article selection has improved apace. It is much more up-to-date (an attractive package indeed!) and yet still retains that old R&LHS authority."

—J. W. Swanberg,
Branford, Conn.

"The changes in Railroad History make it much more reader-friendly. I am impressed. Keep up the good work."

—Robert C. Jones,
Railroad author and publisher,
Burlington, Vt

"I want to congratulate the editor and all the writers for the great extra issue on diesels. Really enjoyed it!"

—Konrad F. Schreier, Jr.,
Los Angeles, Calif.

"You are on the mark by saying the diesel locomotive is vastly overlooked subject and deserve plaudits for helping to rectify that matter. Please keep up the job you’re doing; I look forward to each issue."

—Robert W. Cosgrove,
Detroit, Mich.

"The latest issue arrived today and is, in a word, excellent. Reading "Print & Image" caused me to reminisce about my own seminal days as a railfan."

—Robert J. Powers,
Col., USAF (retired),
Shreveport, La.

"Without a doubt, the latest issue of Railroad History was the most interesting I have ever received. Each and every feature was well-developed and of great interest to me."

—Robert E. McMillan,
Jacksonville, Fl.
