The Stories | Articles section contains stories about the history of railroading as told by newspapers, trade magazines and the editor's own writings.

This website uses a system of footnotes generally indicating the source of information used in the articles. As an example, [MRL] recognizes Graydon Meints book "Michigan Railroad Lines", which was published by 2005 by the Michigan State University Press. See the Bibliograpy page on this website for all bracketed footnotes.
