Just curious because it seems we have a wide variety of people from around the midwest and i thought it would be interesting to see how people found this site. i found it on a link from michiganrailroads.

I asked a friend "Where are all these ugly rumors about me coming from?"

I don't exactly remember, I think I was searching for "railfan" related sites and came across it.

I remember the dark ages. Before Railroadfan.com, this punk named Zack had a site, http://www.anthrax.fateback.com, which had train photos from the Kalamazoo area. I found it through a link on Woot's old "Muskegon's Railroad Crossing" site about 5 years ago. Eventually, railroadfan.com became a seperate entity from the fateback site, but although the URL was railroadfan.com, the site was actually called "B1G - The Big Train"; this is when Zack started posting more pictures and started the message board. Atleast that's the way I remember it...

I was in a dark men's room in a truckstop, minding my own business checking out the phone numbers on the wall......Wait, what were we talking about....

O yea, now I remember. While doing a search about railroads in Michigan, this was the 2nd on the list and one of the better ones.

My brother had this site on his computer, I used to read posts under his name, then eventually registered my own account and began posting.
Don't know where he found it...

Steven (GLC_392) suggested the site to me when I met him in Fostoria back in 2006. I joined up with the site, then took a hiatus and eventually had my old account deleted once I joined up again in 2007.

It was Zack's constant advertisements on Michigan Shortlines and the other Michigan boards. Wore me down so I finally gave in and joined.

(j/k, Zack, it was the quality of the site that got me to join, but your "advertisements" made me aware of it)

I honestly don't remember. I probably followed some link off another website. May have been my fascination with Jim Thias too...

Con Jon and JT found me on the bank of a river in Alma waiting for 4449 to come by.

Next thing I knew I was drinking beer with PAT C., Big Frank, Zack, Tops and the gang at some bar in Owosso.

When i first moved to GR from west bumbletuckey, MI down on the INE i went out to judd and these guys kept talking about "Zacks sight" so i asked and they told me that some dork made a train page with train heads ups and stuff on it. so i went home and checked it out and been here ever since. im like that weird drunk guy who lives on the couch.

About a year ago, I was looking for somewhere I could find answers on a couple questions I had about Wellsboro, IN. I came across this board, signed up, posted my questions, and got quick, helpful information. I've been roaming around the field of threads ever since.

I did a bunch of Googling on trains & railfanning in Michigan and this site kept showing up again and again. I took the hint and joined up.

Zack's a shameless self-promoter
