I accept that Kalmbach Publishing Company rosters an array of specialty magazines of which TRAINS is simply one of such, but this ad reportedly circulated on the internet is "just too much". It would appear that they contract with an ad agency having little or no grounding in railroad industry affairs:

Kalmbach reportedly has sent this e-mail to all recipients of the above material:
- "Earlier today our promotional team distributed a Father's Day e-mail advertisement for our magazines, depicting a father and child walking along a railroad track. The photograph was highly inappropriate, and we apologize for including it in the ad. The editorial staffs of Trains, Classic Trains, Model Railroader, Classic Toy Trains and Garden Railways are dedicated to promoting railroad safety in all our efforts and we truly regret the use of this photo.
