Off The Rails

This site is dedicated to those photographers have obsessively voiced frustration about having photographs rejected by big-name railroad photography sites. Since many people have complained that the photo review and screening process can be a bit too punctilious, I offer an alternative outlet for this photography. This metaphorical “Train Wreck” wins the coveted and much-sought-after title of the “Best of the Worst train photo site on the planet.” Feel free to share your masterpieces.
