AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The Railroad Man's Magazine was a pulp magazine published by Frank Munsey from 1906. At the time there was no organized railroad enthusiast movement, and initially the magazine was targeted towards railroaders and retirees. The title was briefly changed to Railroad and Current Mechanics in 1913 (July-December). In 1919 it was merged with The Argosy and during the 1930s underwent two title changes - Railroad Stories (1932-1937) and Railroad Magazine (1937-1979). The magazine continued publication after the Frank A. Munsey Company was acquired by Popular Publications in 1943, and in turn following the acquisition of that firm by Carstens Publishing in 1976. Under Carstsens the magazine was combined with Railfan in 1979 to form Railfan and Railroad.
