Railway Transportation was a Sydney-based monthly trade magazine covering rail transport in Australia. It was regularly used for promotion and advertising by railway organisations and businesses.[1]

## Overview

Railway Transportation was established in October 1951 by Frank Shennen.[2][3]

Shennen Publishing already published Truck & Bus Transportation and, in 1967, established Freight & Container Transportation magazine.[4]

After being re-branded Railway & Urban Transportation in January 1974, publication of the magazine ceased in December 1974.[5][6][7][8]
