Pacific RailNews
''Pacific RailNews'' ''(PRN)'', originally named ''Pacific News'' and later ''RailNews'', was an American monthly magazine about railroads and rail transit, oriented for railfans. It was published from 1961〔 until 1999.〔 Although its coverage primarily concerned the western United States and western Canada, the magazine included less-detailed news on railroads and rail-transit from non-western states, as well as Mexico.
==History==
Founded in 1961 as ''Pacific News'' (ISSN 0030-879X), by the Pacific Locomotive Association, from its inception the magazine was originally published monthly by Chatham Publishing Company (of Burlingame, California), Karl R. Koenig, editor and publisher. Issue number 1 was published in September 1961.〔''Pacific RailNews'' issue 300, November 1988, p. 3.〕 By the third issue the magazine was independent and not produced by the Association. ''Pacific News'' was originally printed on uncoated paper, but coated paper was used starting with issue 32.〔Koenig, Karl R. (issue 200, June 1978). "Inside Chatham ..." (editor's column). ''Pacific News'', p. 3.〕 The magazine was acquired by Interurban Press in 1983, and the October 1983 issue was the first under the new publisher. Publication was then bimonthly for a time, but returned to being monthly in December 1984.
Starting with the October 1984 issue, the name was changed to ''Pacific RailNews'' (also informally written ''Pacific Rail News'') (ISSN 8750-8486), so as to more clearly indicate its subject area to anyone not yet familiar with the magazine.〔Walker, Jim (January 1989). "A Note from the Editor". ''Pacific RailNews'', p. 3. Interurban Press.〕 As of 1992, when Interurban Press was publishing the magazine, ''PRN'' had a circulation of about 10,000 and subscribers all over the world.
In 1993, Mac Sebree, publisher of ''PRN'' and owner of Interurban Press, retired and sold the entire business to Pentrex.〔Ryll, Thomas (November 29, 1994). "Felida man tracks light rail" (profile of former ''PRN'' publisher Mac Sebree). ''The Columbian'', p. A3.〕 Pentrex took over both ''PRN'' and ''Passenger Train Journal (PTJ)'' from Interurban Press, but discontinued ''PTJ'' in late 1996. The geographic coverage of ''Pacific RailNews'' was expanded to include all major U.S. railroads, rather than just those in the West and Midwest, and effective January 1997 the magazine's name became ''RailNews'' (ISSN 1091-2436). Pentrex eventually decided to discontinue publication of all of its magazines, and the final issue of ''RailNews'' was that dated August 1999.〔(Magazine Subscriber Information ) (2000). Pentrex.
