Silver Rails

Silver Rails is currently involved in two service lines. Its main line of service is the publication and management of web content. Its second line of service is Talent Acquisiton. These are services that the founders of Silver Rails have been involved with for more than 30 years. In 1979 the founders started MIDCOM, a workforce solutions company specializing in proving engineering and computer talent to the aerospace & defense industries (Visit midcom.com and click on the "HISTORY" tab). Later in the early 1980s the founders established a dial-up online information service hosted on a pair of Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) VAX-11/750 computer systems running VAX/VMS. Later they founded one of the largest Bulletin Board Systmes, the Liberty BBS, hosted on a network of Personal Computers with over 100 dial-up lines and nationwide access via Telnet. The founders were one of the early adopters of providing web based information services. In the mid-1990's they founded TrainWeb.com and TrainWeb.org that provide extensive information, travelogues, photos, and more all related to railroads and rail travel. Both of these websites still exist today and together enjoy more than 20,000 page visits per day by thousands of unique visitors.

Silver Rails has started a new set of web sites and web information services that will not be related to railroads or rail travel. As indicated below, some of these websites have already been launched with content growing daily. Others will be launched in the near future. Please visit the Silver Rails web sites listed below:




The founders of Silver Rails have also been involved in talent acquisition since 1979. The company they founded grew to an in-house staff of dozens and a field staff of hundreds who provided engineering and programming services to many of the major aerospace and commercial firms throughout the nation. That company was sold in 2013. Silver Rails does not plan to build its own in-house staff but rather to just use its knowledge and experience of talent acquision to continue to service businesses across the nation.
