Electric Railway Journal was an American magazine primarily about electric urban rail transit in North America, published by McGraw Hill from June 1908 until December 1931.[1] It was founded when publications Street Railway Journal (first published November 1884) and Electric Railway Review (first published January 1891) merged.[2] Initially published weekly, it became monthly in April 1929. The magazine ceased to publish the magazine under this name in December 1931;[3][4] it was renamed Transit Journal.[5]
