I never understood the name of this website, jreb. What does that have to do with trains? Nothing, I think. When I first saw the name, my first thought was "johnny reb". I suppose there is a connection there. I'm not sure how I found it, in 2014. I guess I looked up train forums and this site showed up, among others. That name, showing up in a list of train forums, would be an anomaly. Apparently, it doesn't matter. There have been plenty of people on this forum over the years. I guess it was getting along in years when I found it.
I believe it is named after the founders of the site, Junior and Emmett Bell. I am sure someone maybe able to chime in more.
