‘Locomotives International’

This item appears on page 50 of the May 2017 issue.

A publication that covers truly offbeat railways, focusing on historic places and equipment, is the British bimonthly magazine Locomotives International (Wiltshire, England; phone +44 1275 845 012, www.mainline andmaritime.co.uk/pages/welcome-to-locomotives-international).

The magazine’s section “Travel the World by Rail” shows, in chronological order, the most complete selection I’ve seen of various rail trips being offered, worldwide, by (mostly) British travel groups. It includes the URL for each group’s website, where you can find each tour’s details (destinations, times, prices, etc.). Very useful!

I subscribe directly from the publisher, paying with a MasterCard. The subscription price for people outside of Europe is £45 (near $56) per year (six issues), for British residents, £28, and for those elsewhere in Europe, £38.
