About Commuter Trains Worldwide

The focus of this group is very simple: commuter trains.

What's a commuter train? It is a "passenger" train who's primary purpose is to bring workers and students into the Big City in the morning, then transport them safely home in the evening.

The variety of commuter trains is quite remarkable: trollies, trams, cable cars (San Franscisco), mainline commuter service, DMU's, interurbans, subways, elevated trains and so on. And there are still a few places on earth where these trains are hauled by steam engines.

If you have a picture of a commuter train, this is the place to post it.

If you'd like to join this group, make sure to read the rules.
