Welcome to Railfan Canada Online!

Railfan Canada is billed as a Railway Photographic Journal and features the very best in railway-related photography from some of Canada’s premier photographers. Our mission statement is clear: To reproduce the work of our contributors who are enthusiastic about sharing their skills and photographic craftsmanship with our many readers.

Railfan Canada’s coverage includes all of Canada and parts of the United States where Canadian trains are destined to run, either through ownership, lease agreement or, as they call it in the industry “Paying back hours.” We take great pride in our commitment to present a totally Canadian content publication!

Railfan Canada is a quarterly magazine that publishes with the distinct seasons of our country: Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. The “Railway Photographic Journal” designation suggests that our feature articles will emphasize the artistic photographic aspect of railfanning as opposed to static locomotive roster shots — other magazines do a fine job of reproducing those.

Our goal is to present the finest colour reproduction of contributors’ photographs and present them in such a fashion as to have you, the reader, in admiration of the author’s works. Railfan Canada is printed using the finest high-quality paper stock on an ultra modern five-colour press by our custom printer, Christian Press in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Each magazine will be a collector’s edition and you won’t want to miss a single issue!
