We're not competing to be an all-inclusive railfan link site - there are a number of sites which do that very well. But we still wanted to offer links to some of the motels and inns on our list; sites whose webmasters helped us out; sites which we've found useful, enjoyable or just plain fun; sites which offer abundant railfan links; and just general stuff which interests us.
If you have a site and think that MOTELS FOR TRAIN WATCHERS would interest your visitors, link to us, and let us know at . Happy trails!
