It was founded in 1856 in Chicago and is published monthly by Simmons-Boardman Publishing Corporation. The magazine`s original title was the Western Railroad Gazette, and was renamed the Railroad Gazette in 1870. In 1908, after purchasing its chief rival, the Railway Age, founded in 1876 in Chicago, it changed its title to Railroad Age Gazette, then a few years later, to Railway Age Gazette. In 1918 it shortened its name to the current title. Railway Review (originally the Chicago Railway Review) was merged into Railway Age in 1927.
