THIRD QUARTER 2026: In “Short Lines of Oregon and Washington” we view the last vestiges of the logging and timber era in the Pacific Northwest, plus other select short lines in the 1970s and 1980s. “Toto Travels Northeast” gives us a look at Northeast railroading in the 1970s with Midwest native Carl Graves. Mike Bednar’s latest installment of life on the railroad provides “A GE Sampler.” All this and more in the Third Quarter issue of Trains and Railroads of the Past!
