Pentrex Media Group, LLC, is an American producer and seller of railfan-related videos and DVDs, founded in 1984 and currently based in Pasadena, California.〔(Policies and Contact Information. ) Pentrex. Retrieved 2010-03-21.〕 The company discontinued the sale of VHS video tapes on July 31, 2009.〔(Videos. ) Pentrex. Retrieved 2012-12-26.〕 Until 1999, Pentrex also published books and magazines, and its magazine editorial offices were located in Waukesha, Wisconsin. It continues to sell books and back issues of its defunct magazines, but no longer publishes any. In 1993, the company acquired Glendale-based Interurban Press,〔Ryll, Thomas (November 29, 1994). "Felida man tracks light rail" (profile of former Interurban Press owner Mac Sebree). ''The Columbian'', p. A3.〕 a publisher of books primarily about streetcars, interurbans and trolley buses, in business since the 1940s. Initially, Pentrex continued publication of books and all of the magazines it had acquired from Interurban Press, but these were gradually phased out, as the company concentrated on production and sales of videos and, later, DVDs. The last magazines published by Pentrex were ''RailNews'' (ISSN 1091-2436) (formerly ''Pacific RailNews'', ISSN 8750-8486) and ''Vintage Rails'', the final issues of which were those dated August 1999 and September/October 1999, respectively.〔(Magazine Subscriber Information ) (2000). Pentrex. Retrieved 2012-12-26.〕 Pentrex also published ''Passenger Train Journal'' (ISSN 0160-6913) until 1996 and ''Locomotive & Railway Preservation'' magazine (ISSN 0891-7647) until 1997. ''Passenger Train Journal'' resumed publication in late 2006, with a new publisher, White River Productions.〔McKinney, Kevin. "On the Point", p. 2. ''Passenger Train Journal'', issue 229 (4th Quarter, 2006). White River Productions.〕 In 2007, the Midwest Book Review's "Wisconsin Bookwatch" recommended Pentrex as "the premier producer of railroading documentaries showcasing and highlight the trains and rail systems, the routes and histories, their engines, equipment, bridges, and more".〔"(The Railroading Shelf )" Wisconsin Bookwatch, Volume 2, Number 6, June 2007〕 ==See also== * List of railroad-related periodicals 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pentrex」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
