History

Railway Gazette International traces its history to May 1835 as The Railway Magazine, when it was founded by Effingham Wilson.[3] The Railway Gazette title dates from July 1905, created to cover railway commercial and financial affairs.[4] In April 1914 it merged with The Railway Times, which incorporated Herapath's Railway Journal, and in February 1935 it absorbed the Railway Engineer.[4] Around this time it also absorbed The Railway News.[5] It then reflected all aspects of railway activity,[4] particularly in the British Empire and in other areas of the world which used similar technology.[5]

In January 1964, it merged with sister publication Diesel Railway Traction and its frequency reduced from weekly to fortnightly.[5][6]

In October 1970, it was renamed Railway Gazette International and reduced in frequency to monthly.[5][7]

Railway Gazette International is part of the Railway Gazette Group, itself part of DVV Media Group. It was part of Reed Business Information until 1 April 2007.[8]
