Ok, for those of you new to this, here is what the Rail E-Pass or Electronic Rail Pass is all about.

It all started back when real Railroads issued Rail Passes to Railroad employees, dignitaries and other VIP's giving them free passage on the Railroad, a sort of Public Relations thing. For years people have been swapping these Railroad Passes & Passes for their own Model Railroads (see the NMRA Pass Exchange Program), then the Internet came along. One day a bright spark (Jim Thompson) had a thought ... how about exchanging these Passes over the Internet. Suddenly a whole new concept was born ... and it saved on postage and printing costs!

So, now you are thinking, 'Hey, that's a great idea! But how do I create my own Rail E-Pass?'

Well, just follow the steps below and you will be on your way to creating your very own Rail E-Pass to swap with other Model Railroaders, and soon you will have a great collection of Rail E-Passes people have sent you in return.
