Trains Magazine launches TrainsPRO website (updated)

New site will focus on rail industry content, replacing News Wire

Trains Magazine, the world’s leading publication on railroading and trains, has launched TrainsPRO as a new website under the Trains.com family of brands. 

TrainsPRO features articles on railroad industry news and analysis, covering areas such as freight rail, passenger rail, mechanical, maintenance of way and regulatory updates. These coverage areas are nothing new for Trains – we have reported on these very subjects for many years under the Trains News Wire branding. Now, News Wire has been folded into TrainsPRO. 

The new TrainsPRO site features the same level of reporting, expertise and industry insights — and the same authors — as News Wire, but improved categorization will make the industry content easier to find. 

In the coming weeks, look for continuing coverage of railroad industry happenings, from merger analysis to operational management to details on the technology and innovation that will improve safety and efficiency for railroads in the years to come. The Trains staff has always gone beyond the press release to report not just on the “what” but on the “why.” We remain committed to helping readers understand the increasingly rapid evolution of the rail industry, and believe TrainsPRO will present that coverage in a way that is easier to find and follow.

Meanwhile, heritage rail, preservation, and rail travel content that has been part of Trains News Wire will continue — again, with the same authors — as part of Trains.com. Readers will also find new categories for those topics.

Trains.com members, Trains All Access members, and Trains subscribers will still have access to all industry news under TrainsPRO, just as they have had access to News Wire. 

Update, Aug. 4: Trains subscribers may have been unable to read Trains Pro since it was launched because of a log-in issue. That issue has now been addressed. Other updates and fixes to the site continue. We apologize for the issues.
