FWIW, Facebook has rapidly evolved from its origins as a college social board and now is a top notch site for hobby enthusiasts of all stripes.

The Pre-Depression Era railroads is particularly good for posting photos of freight cars from that era (and if you doubt my judgement then ask Ben Hom who in that group).

I’d say there is a group for every steam era railroad as well as some modern stuff said to be about railroads… and if that isn’t enough there are loads of historical groups, game groups, silent movies, birding, native plants… the list goes on and on.

It’s not very good for archival purposes – the search is pretty lousy – but for casual viewing, say, once a day, it is very nice.
