FOTR FORUM TEN YEARS OLD!

Post by John Ashworth »

Two days ago on 19th January 2017 the FOTR Forum reached its tenth birthday. Happy Birthday Forum!

Currently the forum has 1,064 members, nearly 40,000 posts on almost 15,000 topics, with over 18,000 attachments, many of them photos. The discussions are not so active these days - that peaked a few years ago and then started to drop off - perhaps because social media such as Facebook are more instant and are easier to use just for a quick comment. However the Forum remains unique in its broad coverage of African railways, contains many rare and unusual photos, and brings together much (often first-hand) information which would be difficult to find elsewhere. It is organised in such a way that this archived material is not too difficult to find. And of course it also showcases Friends of the Rail in particular and South African railways in general, with a fair bit on East African railways too, as I am based back in the East African region again.

Our thanks to all of the members, and may we still be going strong in another ten years!
