Railfan &amp; Railroad Railfan & Railroad is an American monthly magazine that has been in publication since the 1970s. It was the first magazine title created in-house by Carstens Publications. As a magazine dedicated to trains and rail transportation, it stands out from its main competitor "Trains" as a publication focused on the enthusiast and related activities. Established in 1974 as Railfan magazine (ISSN 0098-0714), it merged in 1979 with "Railroad" magazine, which Carstens purchased at that time. The magazine was renamed "Railfan & Railroad", but the two former titles were listed separately on the masthead until 2015. The magazine was acquired by White River Productions in September 2014. The magazine is produced monthly, edited by Steve Barry.
