The TwinCitiesRailfan.com Railfan Guides are a collection of "hot spots" for viewing and/or photographing rail action.

Unlike an angler keeping a favorite fishing hole secret, these railfans have taken time to compile information to share a guide about some of their favorite sites around the Metro and state.

On this page, you can find a site to watch trains by your interests, area or level of rail activity. Don't see a spot? Contact the Admin to write your own Guide entry!
