Dear Fellow Railfan, 

Recently, I was in Southern California and 

had the opportunity to see Long Beach port up 

close. What a treat! The flurry of operations 

and the coordination that kept freight moving 

efficiently was an amazing sight to behold. 

Of course, not everyone has the opportunity to 

see Long Beach for himself, but what every 

railroad modeler can do is bring Long Beach 

home! And, as you can see below, Historic 

Rail has everything you need to do that. 

And that’s just the beginning. From this 

page to the last, this catalog is filled with the 

railroading subjects and eras that interest you, 

from the Old West of the 1800s to 21 st century 

New England and everything in-between. 

So make your solutions then call us toll 

free at 800-261-5922, visit us online at 

HistoricRail.com, or return the order form in 

the envelope provided. Whatever means you 

choose, we look forward to serving you. 

Thanks! 

Rick Apple 

P.S. On the back cover you’ll find a 

Santa Fe chess set and a Santa Fe pin-up sign,
