Beginning as Pacific News, but most commonly known as Pacific RailNews, the magazine was focused on railroading in the western US and Canada until 1997, when it was rebranded as RailNews and expanded coverage to all major North American railroads. Written for railfans, the magazine was known for its detailed news columns and high quality photography. The final issue was published in August 1999.
ScaleTrains™, an innovative model train manufacturer, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Cleveland, Tennessee, acquired the rights to RailNews and is working to make its content available again to the railfan and model railroading community. The company offers model trains for every skill level and budget, specializing in HO, N, and S Scale, manufacturing diesel and steam locomotives, freight cars, passenger cars, containers, and more. Additionally, Virtual Railfan™, under the ScaleTrains umbrella since 2023, brings LIVE train watching destinations to desktops and mobile devices.
