LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: We invite you to send your questions and comments: Email us at: editor@canadianrailwayobservations.com
Hi All,
February was a brutally cold month, much worse than in years past, and I did no railfanning. Some of you braved the cold and we did receive photos and trackside reports regardless, and I thank those individuals for their efforts. We received positive feedback and comments on our new look Modeller’s Corner segment, and we assure it will continue to grow and be improved as we go forward. We received several queries on how to access our CRO “SPECIAL REPORTS”. These are ONLY available to our VIP members, advertisers, and all subscribers. To view our most recent one “the TURBO TRAIN”, go to the CRO website homepage and scroll down, and click on the TURBO PHOTO to access and open. (You must be logged in) All our previous SPECIAL REPORTS are in our CRO ARCHIVES (CRO past issues Section). The button for this is on the CRO home page on the right hand side. Special Reports are posted monthly if available. During March, or in early April we will post the “CN Ultra Train” by Patrick DeLarue. I am still receiving photo submissions from mostly new readers that have not read our PHOTO SUBMISSION GUIDELINES on our home page. Please read this before you email the images to me. Thank you, William H. Baird – Editor, and Nathan Brown - Webmaster CRO FACEBOOK continues to grow in popularity, and in our fourth year now, we have reached 4,400 Fans. Thank you! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Canadian-Railway-Observations-CRO/287488550757?fref=ts DO YOU HAVE A SUBSCRIPTION, PHOTO SUBMISSION, CLUB CRO VIP PAYMENT ISSUE, OR AN ADVERTISING QUESTION?
Please email William Baird at editor@canadianrailwayobservations.com
DO YOU HAVE A CRO PASSWORD OR A LOGIN ISSUE?
Please email Nathan Brown CRO Webmaster at: webmasternate@canadianrailwayobservations.com
Please understand as we post the new issues on the first day of each month we cannot always reply to emails right away. We will reply within 24 hours and make sure you are satisfied. Over the next two months CLUB CRO members will receive the new CRO issue announcements, and the CRO hyperlink by email. Currently, only a small number of you have this, and we will shortly offer this service to all of you.
The mission of CRO remains the same: to keep CRO readers informed of pertinent Canadian train news, which is compiled and verified over the month, and updated daily. The accurate information we post each is obtained and confirmed from our reliable sources. Our other mission is to showcase beautiful locomotive shots submitted by our readers, credit them, and help promote their photography.
As our “Vignette” segments are very popular with our readers, please continue to submit photos and your suggestions for future vignettes.
We thank you,
CRO is seeking articles for our “Special Report” series. Over the last 6 years, several readers have submitted Special Reports for CRO that have been overwhelming well received.
