Passenger Car Magazine

Passenger Car Magazine is the official quarterly publication of the Railroad Passenger Car Alliance, in partnership with the American Association of Private Car Owners (AAPRCO). This full color magazine features stories on RPCA members, railroad history, and the contemporary excursion railroad industry. The magazine’s editor is Borden Black.

The magazine is designed to engage both present and future generations by promoting the operation, preservation, and display of rail passenger equipment. Articles encompass profiles of tourist/excursion railroads and museums, the restoration of steam engines and passenger equipment, mechanical information and instructions, private car movements and issues, and information about upcoming RPCA and AAPRCO events.

The magazine is sustained by advertising. Suppliers and supporters are encouraged to place full-, half-, or quarter-page ads that are featured on the back cover. A 10 percent discount is offered for an annual commitment. The summer issue contains the charter guide. Private car owners, tourist and excursion trains can purchase advertisements in this special section.

RPCA and AAPRCO members receive complimentary quarterly printed copies of Passenger Car Magazine.
