Railroad Page

Submission Guidelines

Good photos usually have good stories to go with them. The goal of The Photographers’ Railroad Page is to provide an outlet for top quality photographs and their story. Our appreciation and enjoyment of fine photography can grow when we learn a little more about the background.

We welcome submissions of any original photographs accompanied by written pieces. The Photographers' Railroad Page requires one time permission to publish the photograph and the text on the site. After publication all rights revert to the photographer.
The writing must relate to the photo in some manner. Please, no roster histories, train consist lists, railfan guides, trip reports, etc. We are looking for why you took the photo, what happened the day you took it, a story related to the location, people you met or people you were out with, what was going through your mind that day, why you made the choices you made, mishaps along the way or what makes this fun for you.
Poetry is welcome.
Take a look at the Archives Page to see the type of work the site features, it is the best guide.
Submissions are preferred in electronic form via e-mail. Photo files should be less than 3 megabytes but at least 600x800 pixels at 72 ppi. Please contact the site to make arrangements to submit non-digital work such as slides, prints or paper manuscripts.
Manuscript length is not limited but a 100 to 600-word length works well.
New photographs and written pieces will be posted on the 1st and 15th of each month. Each new edition of the page will feature a single photograph and the accompanying story.
