Hello, I'm Amanda. I'm the original founder/author of American Rails Wiki.

I am currently studying urban planning/development and have a keen passion for public transportation, particularly passenger rail transport. Historically, I was an IT consultant who also worked in cybersecurity. I have now left that profession behind and have gone full steam ahead (pun intended) into my new studies and new field of interest.

I was born and spent many years of my life in Canada (originally in Calgary, later in Ottawa), but I now currently reside in the United States in the New York City Metropolitan Area.

Feel free to contact me with any questions, either on my talk page or via email.

Please note that my boyfriend, who is a locomotive engineer and is therefore familiar with a lot of the content that I will be creating for the wiki, will be assisting me in the initial construction of the wiki's content.
