Announcing a Railroad-Centric Search Engine

    by Aaron Hockley

    Google is great for finding assorted railroad and railfan-related things online, but sometimes the number of results can be overwhelming, including spam sites or things not really related to our hobby. Using some new tools Google has created, I’ve put together a search engine focusing only on hand-selected railroad and railfan related websites.

    Sites included are discussion forums, railroad sites, railfan sites, member websites from services such as Trainorders and Trainweb, and more, all hand-chosen to avoid any spam or such.

    The Dogcaught Railroad Search Engine can be found on this site at http://www.dogcaught.com/search

    Check it out. If you maintain a railroad/railfan website and you can’t find your content, drop me an email (ahockley@gmail.com) so I can be sure your site is included.
