Railfan & Railroad
''Railfan & Railroad'' was the first magazine title created in-house by Carstens Publications. Based in Newton, New Jersey, the magazine is produced monthly, edited by Steve Barry. 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. It is also the successor to Railroad magazine, purchased by Carstens in 1979, and listed separately on the masthead to this day. The magazine was acquired by White River Productions in September 2014.
== Founding and early days ==
As early as 1968, future ''Railroad Model Craftsman'' editor Tony Koester visited publisher Harold Carstens to pitch an idea for a "railfan's" magazine, at the insitance of his friend Jim Boyd (who was at the time an occasional contributor to RMC). At the time, Carstens cited the lack of potential advertisers and stiff competition from the long-established ''Trains'' and ''Railroad'' magazines as a reason for not starting the new publication. As a result of that initial meeting, Carstens did make an offer to Koester to join the staff of RMC.
By 1971, Jim Boyd had joined Carstens Publications to work on sister publication ''Flying Models,'' and Koester was editor of ''Railroad Model Craftsman''. In the fall of 1974, publisher Hal Carstens had a change of heart given the popular rise of the railroad enthusiast movement, and the increased potential for advertising revenue. He tipped off Boyd and Koester that he intended to produce a quarterly publication, starting with a Winter 1974 issue. The new publication would be known simply as ''Railfan'' as an indicator of its intended target market.〔 Within a matter of weeks, Boyd and Koester had produced the first issue of the new magazine.
