Internet records show Railfanning.org was registered on October 7, 2022. But the site’s history dates to January 27, 2002, predating its formal launch. The earliest railfanning content was initially hosted on another site that has today morphed into Sightseers’ Delight.

To celebrate 20 years of Railfanning.org, we’ve recreated some of the original content below. Please recognize some of the original links and forms have been removed as they are no longer active.
