The cover photo of our May - August 2008 issue of the Railroad Evangelist magazine is a photo of the famed "Wabash Cannonball".  The Wabash Cannonball" is an American folk song about a fictional train, thought to have originated sometime in the late nineteenth century. Its first documented appearance was on sheet music published in 1882, titled "The Great Rock Island Route" and credited to J. A. Roff.  When the song gained popularity, Wabash Railroad named its express run between Detroit and St. Louis as the Wabash Cannonball.  The Wabash Cannonball in the above photo was taken in Detroit, Michigan in front of the Fort Street Station in 1934 in preparing to leave for St. Louis, Missouri. 

The Railroad Evangelist magazine has been in print since 1938.  It is a 16 page black and white (normally) publication printed on glossy white paper 3 times a year and is used as the official tool of the Railroad Evangelistic Association.  It is used to help spread the Good News of Jesus Christ to the entire railroad community worldwide which includes but is not limited to the railroad industry, the model railroad hobbyist and the rail fan enthusiast.

Will you help us spread the Good News by subscribing to the Railroad Evangelist magazine ($8.00 a year - See Subscription information) and by sending this page to an interested  friend?  Thank you.
