Different market for each magazine. Newsrail presents more historical and
pictorial articles, whereas RNV covers up to date day to day operations.
The "news" in Newsrail can be up to several months old by the time it is
printed. For example, Newsrail published an item than NR had just picked
up the Toll contract, but they had lost it again about 2 months before
this was printed. Newsrail is also known as "Stalerail" for this reason.

If you like lots of colour pictures and historical articles, get Newsrail.
If you like up to date operational information, get RNV. if you like both,
get both.
