60 years of railway progress and counting

摘要

THIS month we celebrate 60 years of International Railway Journal, the world's first truly global business-to-business publication for the railway industry. The pilot edition of IRJ was launched in October 1960, with regular monthly circulation beginning in January 1961. An advertisement in the inaugural edition endorsed IRJ as an international selling opportunity for railway suppliers, "In International Railway Journal your advertising message can reach the growing world-wide market for railway products economically and efficiently in one magazine. IRJ is a separate international publication, not an international edition of a domestic magazine."
