- Railroad Man's Magazine
"Railroad Man's Magazine" was a
pulp magazine which began October, 1906.The magazine was published under different names and formats throughout its history. It was the first specialized pulp with stories and articles about the railroads. In 1919, it merged with "Argosy" which became "Argosy and Railroad Man’s Magazine" for a brief period before reverting back to "Argosy", thus killing "Railroad Man's Magazine".
In 1929, when freelance author William Edward Hayes announced he was bringing out a new railroad-oriented pulp, the Munsey company recruited him to edit a revival of "Railroad Man's Magazine". He was soon replaced by Freeman H. Hubbard. In 1932, the title was simplified to "Railroad Stories", then changed to "Railroad Magazine" in 1937. After December 1942, "Railroad Magazine" was published by
Popular Publications , which purchased the Munsey Company. It dropped fiction after August, 1954. [ [http://www.philsp.com/mags/argosy.html "Argosy and Railroad Man's Magazine"] ]References
