The Railway Engineer

May 1887 Edition of The Railway Engineer

In February 1880, when the Railway Engineer was first published, the structure of Britain’s railways was largely complete, but was owned and operated by a myriad of large and small companies that had been caught up in the “Railway Mania” that gripped the nation in the middle of the 19th century.  The gradual agglomeration of the railways into the “Big Four” Railway companies would take another half century before it was complete. 
The  stated purpose of the magazine was to be a practical journal for all concerned in the design, construction and maintenance of bridges and structures, locomotives, signalling, permanent way, rolling stock, machine tools, railway specialties, electric traction and works equipment. 
One of the most popular features of the magazine were the locomotive engravings that were a regular feature of the monthly paper.  C. Trent was one of their regular engravers and a number of our engravings were created by him.  His name can be found hidden usually among the railway sleepers beneath the locomotives. The magazine ceased publication in January 1935.
