On Facebook I have been playing Trainstation. A game that allows users to create trains and run them. Steam, diesel, electric and maglev are all parts of the TS universe.
I am sort of a train buff, though I am more of a fan of the subway systems like Toronto's and Montreal's. Still I ventured out on to the net and found some blogs about trains that may interest you.
Confessions of a Train Geek. Author Steve Boyko, features articles and photographs of trains. a very well established blog that has been online since 2005.
Railroaded. The pun is intentional, as this blog highlights the issue of accountability or lack of when it comes to how goods like oil are transported via rail. The blog points out that in many cases communities are not even made aware of what is going on with respect to train routing, or what is in rail yards across Canada.
http://vienna-pyongyang.blogspot.ca in a word different. This blog details a trip made by a guy named Helmut, from Vienna to Pyongyang. Brave very brave. Check it out.
Google has the scoop on blogs rail related the search I used to find these 3, railway blogs.
Enjoy
