The Newsletter

The Capitol to Capitol is the official journal of the California State Legislative Board. Our current circulation is approximately 2300 (and rising) and is the only state-specific labor trade journal of it's kind in our industry. It is published monthly as a free service to all members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen in the State of California.In addition, copies are sent to relevant members of state and federal legislative entities, government regulatory agencies and industry management and labor leaders nationwide. We also offer subscriptions, available to the general public, the income from which goes back into the CSLB general fund to help defray the costs of printing and distribution of the magazine.

The layout and appearance of our magazine is designed to reflect the proud professionalism of our craft and our 150-year heritage. But we constantly strive to bring our membership timely news and pertinent information to keep ourselves educated about the safety and legislative issues that affect our craft today and keep us prepared for tomorrow. We utilize insightful interviews and thought-provoking articles to lead our readers through what will result in better-informed labor members and voters.

Our monthly features section highlights in-depth articles from interviews of individual Legislative Representatives to exclusive research and union-sponsored projects. Every feature article is designed to get our membership involved in our organization's activities, from attending local division meetings to participating in voting and registration drives.

We rely on our California membership to provide us local news and an accurate perspective from the locomotive engineeer's point of view, which presents who we really are to the railroad industry and the general public. We actively solicit input from each of our twenty Legislative Representatives in the state to bring our readers this perspective, and to catch that rare glimpse from the eyes of a proud and historic craft.

I hope you enjoy our magazine as much as I enjoy putting it together. Please drop me a note sometime- what you have to say makes a difference.
