Railfan & Railroad Magazine 2023 September Charging Ahead
Railfan & Railroad Magazine is published monthly. On the cover, Amtrak's eastbound Empire Builder blasts out of a tunnel deep in Montana's John F. Stevens Canyon, on June 22, 2023. Leading the way is one of Amtrak's ALC-42 locomotives, the "new face" of America's passenger railroad. Learn more about these locomotives and the challenges they have faced starting on page 34.
