Railfan & Railroad was the first magazine title created in-house by Carstens Publications. Based in Newton, New Jersey, the magazine is produced monthly, edited by Steve Barry. As a magazine dedicated to trains and rail transportation, it stands out from its main competitor Trains as a publication focused on the enthusiast and related activities. It is also the successor to Railroad magazine, purchased by Carstens in 1979, and listed separately on the masthead to this day. The magazine was acquired by White River Productions in September 2014.
