If you are a professional railroader or shipping customer looking for car loading, car spotting, or car location information from one of the Shortline railroads included in our collection, note that HawkinsRails.net is an independent hobby website and is not affiliated with any shortline operation. Please contact the railroad directly for shipping inquiries. Contact information is normally available on a shortline's official website, if one exists.

If you are looking for travel information or tickets to ride on Amtrak, or if you want to purchase tickets to ride one of the tourist railroads or museum trains included in our Preservation collection, note that HawkinsRails.net is an independent hobby website and is not affiliated with any train ride or museum. Here at HawkinsRails, we love our Amtrak rides, tourist trains, and railroad museums ... but we can't sell you tickets! Please contact those operations directly for schedules and bookings. However, if you have general hobby questions or comments about one the rides featured in our scrapbooks, we would love to hear from you. Enjoy your trip and send us a photo!

If you are a railroad enthusiast, photographer, historian, or a train chaser, we want to hear from you! We love to receive correspondence from fellow railfans all over the world, especially if you share our keen interest in lines, locomotives, and locations around the southern and eastern regions of the United States. Connect with us on Facebook or Twitter, or send us an e-mail and we will be back in touch within a few days. Roll on!

And if you are interested in booking HawkinsRails for a railroad presentation to your group, in-person or online, connect with us via e-mail.
