Welcome to Back the Trax. This site is all about trains. We hope you enjoy this journey.
Back The Trax is all about trains. It is about the history of trains, both in the United States and internationally. It will cover both freight and passenger trains as well as the advent of both overhead and underground subways and commuter rails. It will delve into the lightening trains of Europe and the Far East.
Back The Trax will discuss how trains have shaped and transformed economies around the world. We will assess their involvement in wars, both as military machines and as protection. Finally, We will nostalgize their local allure and why people – young and old – continue to memorialize trains.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey.
