Amazing (Rail) Stories!!
What a wonderful podcast; educating, celebrating, and telling the rich and vivid stories surround the history, present, and future of all things rail.
Super impressed and really enjoying and appreciating what you are doing here.
Great Job!
Shortest podcast was one of the best!
The latest podcast (sexism in rail preservation) was spot on. With so many railroads constantly struggling for volunteers and funding—why we (collectively) make so many people uncomfortable enough to drive them away from the community is beyond me.
Thanks for standing up and talking about a tough issue Nick! “It’s that good medicine, the hard pill to swallow.” —Supaman
