Post subject: | Railway Preservation News via ongoing blogs |
I don't know of any comprehensive list of blogs which post railway preservation news. I like to get my news here, but I am beginning to feel I know more about the Catskill Mountain Railroad than many other projects, some of which the news gets posted in blog format. Add more if you know them, but here are blogs I have discovered in recent months: IRM wood interurbans and more via Randy Hicks et al: http://hickscarworks.blogspot.com IRM Department Blogs: http://www2.irm.org/blogs/ IRM Steam Team: http://irmsteamteam.com/ WRM restoration of Sacramento Northern 1005 http://sn1005.blogspot.com/ Western Pacific Railway Museum steam locomotive 165 http://wprrsteam.blogspot.com Northwest Railway Museum: http://www.trainmuseum.blogspot.com/ Downeast Scenic in Ellsworth ME http://downeastscenicrail.blogspot.com/ Timber Heritage Association http://capdiamont.wordpress.com/category/humboldt/tha/ Rochester and Genesee Valley http://rgvrrm.blogspot.com/ Railtown (CSRM/State Park at Jamestown CA) http://railtown1897.wordpress.com/ |

The forums on railroad.net can be an excellent source of museum specific information, but no blog or forum great unless the people who are at the museum on a day to day basis post new information. http://railroad.net/forums/viewforum.php?f=36 |

Here are a couple more... Virginia Museum of Transportation http://vmtmusings.blogspot.com/ Valley Railroad http://theenginehouse.blogspot.com/ The blogs that are hosted on Blogspot and Wordpress have RSS feed capability, so it should be relatively straightforward to consolidate all of that content in one place. Perhaps an idea for a new feature on RyPN? |

While not a blog, the WW&F maintains an exceptionally active discussion forum that includes updates, etc. http://forum.wwfry.org/ |

I appreciate the info you can get from a discussion group, though it can be tedious to read many posts about random things before you get to an update on work. That said, the WW&F forum is about the most organized rail museum discussion group I have ever seen and you can quickly sort the wheat from chaff. Many groups have discussion forums, often located on Yahoo, but also other random servers. Here are a couple more blogs: Ahead of the Torch http://www.robertjohndavis.com/blog/ Market Street Railway http://www.streetcar.org/blog/ Steam Locomotive Info http://www.steamlocomotive.info/blogs/ Tourist Railroad Association Inc. http://www.traininc.org/blog/ Steam Central http://steamcentral.com/ Restoration of Lackawanna 565 at Steamtown http://project565.webs.com/ |

As an experiment, I have taken all of the blogs with working rss feeds and bundled them into a Railway Preservation Bundle. With a simple click you can have all of the news pumped into one page. I'm not sure I am going to maintain this but for now it is an experiment and if you want to see each item without visiting numerous websites this is the ticket. http://www.google.com/reader/bundle/use ... n%20Bundle The newest posts will appear at the top so when you check it you can see the latest. Trying to read backward might be overwhelming so I would just have a look every couple of days to see the news stuff as it comes through. If you check it out I would appreciate some feedback. |

Along with the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum blog mentioned above where we share progress at the museum, the Rochester Chapter NRHS that owns and operates the R&GVRRM is working to share parts of its railroad archives via its blog: Rochester Chapter NRHS http://rochnrhs.blogspot.com/ The R&GVRRM also shares progress around the museum via its YouTube site.

This one is rich with information and opinion... perhaps even being on the edge of controversial Virginia and Truckee Reconstruction Project Analysis http://www.renorailfans.com/virginiatruckeeblog/ |
