History Railway Gazette International traces its history to May 1835 as The Railway Magazine, when it was founded by Effingham Wilson. 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.
In January 1964, it merged with the sister publication Diesel Railway Traction and its frequency reduced from weekly to fortnightly.
In October 1970, it was renamed Railway Gazette International and reduced in frequency to monthly.
Railway Gazette International was part of Reed Business Information until 1 April 2007 when it became part of DVV Media Group.
On 31 December 2025 Railway Gazette Group was acquired by ProMedia Group UK. ProMedia's Europe-focused brand RailTech was integrated into Railway Gazette International in April 2026.
