Railway Wonders of the World was a popular British fortnightly magazine published in thirty-seven issues between 1935 and 1936 by the Amalgamated Press.
Edited by Clarence Winchester, the magazine was dedicated to educating the general public about the extraordinary history, engineering, and cultural impact of railways globally. It covered a vast array of topics, including descriptions of the world’s most famous trains and railway lines (such as the Trans-Siberian Railway), the mechanics of locomotive operation, the construction of ambitious tunnels and bridges, and the lives of key railway pioneers.
Renowned for its detailed articles, numerous photographs, and engaging illustrations, the magazine was eventually compiled into two large, comprehensive volumes, serving as a definitive and celebratory record of the golden age of railway travel and engineering achievements across the globe.
