hour and its nest trains. The industry ful lled its patriotic
duty by helping the nation win World War II, then, exhausted
by the effort, spent lavishly in order to renew itself. This led
to the creation of eets of ne streamliners and the transition
from steam to diesel locomotives.
The
124-page special collectors edition
covers the
momentous themes of this important decade. It is printed
in a high-quality bookazine format, and features articles

evin Keefe’s profile of John Gruber [page 40] emphasizes John’s role as an in-
novator who brought an unconventional energy to rail photography. When
John’s work first appeared in Trains, it was shocking to some readers. By the
time I started reading the magazine in April 1966, John was an established presence in
its pages. As a child unaware of the “rules” John was “breaking,” I accepted his bold,
imaginative compositions as valid interpretations of the dynamic world around me.
Soon my December 1966 issue arrived, with Editor David P. Morgan’s “I Could
Write a Book” essay about Southern 2-8-2 4501’s first big trip, illustrated with John’s
photos. When the book that DPM had promised came out, the photographer’s bond
with the 4501 was cemented for good. By chance, our tribute to him coincides with
the return of the beloved Mikado to excursion service after a multi-year overhaul.
John’s work extends well beyond the 4501, of course, and even beyond the making
of photographs. Kevin’s article covers this, including John’s editorship of the maga-
zine
Vintage Rails,
which set a high standard for Classic Trains to match when we
launched it after
VR’s
closure in 1999. Thanks, John, for all your good work.

Schedule change: a three-week shift
Railroads warned their passengers that the listings in their public timetables were “Subject to change
without notice.” Not us. We’re letting you know now that our next issue, Spring 2015, will be in stores and
your mailboxes on or about February 24, three weeks later than on our previous publishing schedule. The
issue after that, Summer 2015, will be out May 26, and so on. This schedule shift is anticipated to have
positive effects on the distribution of both
