| Post subject: | Looking for a Trains photo-centerfold |
Looking for a bit of help, either the actual info, or a nudge in the appropriate direction to find it... Sometime in what I beleive to be the early or mid 1970's, Trains magazine published a photo (which may or may not have been a centerspread) of a shot taken at the Fox River Trolley Museum, South Elgin, IL. Actually quite a nice photo, vertical format, color, of ex-CA&E wooden interurban #316 passing southbound under the Illinois Central bridge at Coleman, while above an Amtrack Blackhawk train passes. The Blackhawk is a RDC trainset, making quite the contrast between technology of the ages. Can anyone help with what issue I'm looking for ? (Or an online index to find out myself ?) Many thanks in advance ! |

December 1975. There is a useful index of magazines at the Trains website, but I remember what a neat photo that was and just paged through a couple of binders until I found it. Alan Maples |

I recall that that was a neat photo. If anyone is interested this is the link to the index that Alan Mapes mentioned: http://index.mrmag.com/ It is called "The Model Train Magazine Index" but it contains more than just modeling magazines. It has Model Railroader since 1934, Railroad Model Craftsman since 1933, Narrow Gauge & Short Line Gazette since 1975; Trains Magazine since 1940, Railfan & Railroad since 1990, and many more. |

Wasn't this view also sold as a postcard? I recall seeing it in our museum shop back in the day. Wesley |
