Railroading in America Magazine was founded by two high school students, Evan Cihlar (President) and Garrett Monnin (Vice President) in January, 2017. Since the formation of the magazine, Railroading in America has had numerous guest authors such as Carlos Llamas, an engineer and avid railroad enthusiast from the Cumbres and Toltec Railroad. Carlos has been a locomotive engineer and fireman on the Cumbres and Toltec for 28 years, and has worked with other steam locomotives around the Western United States for many years before the Cumbres and Toltec.All of Railroading in America Magazine's articles are written by railroad enthusiasts. The majority of the group are high school students.The first edition of Railroading in America Magazine was published to Evan Cihlar's model railroad website for a free PDF download, and got over 10,000 downloads within the first month of publication. For the second edition, downloads spiked with 20,000 downloads within the first 24 hours, and 35,000 downloads in a month's time. The third edition got 40,000 downloads within the first month. Edition four was the magazine's first attempt at professional design, and downloads soured through the roof at 45,000 downloads.Railroading in America Magazine has been able to reach the young men and women of the railroad industry since it's formation, and has been widely spread throughout the United States since the first publication. Railroading in America Magazine has been able to reach train stores in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and the executive board is working with other train stores around the United States on selling magazines in their stores, and starting with edition five, the dream of the founders will be able to come true.Railroading in America Magazine started an intern probram in late fall 2017, accepting four high school students to their program and is still looking for high school students and adults interested in writing train-related articles.Edition five will be a colossal leap forward for the magazine, as aspiring photographer Matthew Malkiewicz agreed with the company to use one of his photos of steam locomotive #142 for the cover.Railroading in America Magazine released an online store this February, and has been able to reach over 500 views each day. Since the magazine only publishes bi-monthly, the executive board made a decision to publish posters, canvas prints, shirts, and other merchandise items for readers to purchase.The new website features a forum for model railroading and railroad topics. Users can register and login online and the magazine is looking into developing an app by early February 2019.
