History
Railway Gazette International traces its history to May 1835 as The Railway Magazine. The Railway Gazette title dates from July 1905, created to cover railway commercial and financial affairs. In April 1914 it merged with The Railway Times, which incorporated Herapath's Railway Journal, and in February 1935 it absorbed the Railway Engineer. Around this time it also absorbed The Railway News. It then reflected all aspects of railway activity, particularly in the British Empire and in other areas of the world which used similar technology. It was renamed Railway Gazette International in October 1970.
Railway Gazette International is part of the Railway Gazette Group, itself part of DVV Media Group part of the Hamburg-based Deutsche Verkehrs Verlag group. It was part of Reed Business Information until 1 April 2007.
The magazine is based in Sutton in Surrey in the UK.
