About us
Jim Kach, the owner, has been interested in railroads, railroading and model railroading his whole life. So, in 2017 he started On The Rail Books, Inc. The book store specializes in used and new books, magazines, and other publications about railroads, railroading and model railroading. Before you purchase any publication on this website, the customer gets to look "inside" the publication with pictures and a summary. I hope you enjoy this website as much as I have creating it.
