Welcome to Railroad Picture Archives!

Front Page Pic We are back online! Thank you for your patience as we had to recover for a major hardware failure. Good news is that we are running on newer and better servers which should be faster and more reliable. The bad news is that due to the nature of the hardware failure (physical hard drive crashes), we did suffer some data loss. We needed to use a specialized company to help recover some of the data, but even then some of it was corrupt due to the hard drive crash. If you notice some data missing (albums, photos, etc), please email me and I'll see what I can do. Most of the photos that you had uploaded previously are still available; however the picture title, dates, etc may need to get re-input.

*Update: 01/09/2025 Received final file from the data salvage company. Have been repairing lots of corrupted items on the site and restoring missing locomotives and rollingstock. Reach out if you are missing items!

This site contains a large collection of railroad pictures.  You will find photographs of many different railroads!   Browse the collection by locomotives present in the photograph, by the location the photograph was taken, or by locomotive model.  Visit the contributor sites to see the collection of an individual contributor.

Check out our interactive U.S. railroad map!  Each location a photograph was taken will appear on the map as a red dot.  You can zoom in and out to see detailed track configurations all across the U.S.  Registered users will have access to our U.S. Traffic Density map. Quickly find the busiest lines near you!
