Welcome to Classic Trains Magazine
Classic Trains is a quarterly magazine celebrating the "golden years of railroading." It covers the North American railroad scene from the late 1920s to the late 1970s. Proud steam giants, colorful streamliners, great passenger terminals, down-home local trains, timeworn cabooses, recollections of railroaders and train-watchers . . . they're all in the pages of Classic Trains.

J. Parker Lamb
A native of Alabama, Lamb photographed railroads throughout the Deep South in the early 1950s at a time when steam was giving way to diesel. Click the link below to read more about this legendary photographer.
