Backtrack Magazine

Backtrack Magazine, a distinguished digital publication, presents an in-depth exploration of British and Irish railway history from its inception to recent developments up to a decade ago. Launched in 1987, this app swiftly became a monthly journal in 1995 after identifying a demand for a high-quality historical review focused on railways. It is your gateway to a vast compendium of knowledge covering various elements including locomotives—whether steam, diesel, or electric, rolling stock, and historical railway lines. Additionally, it considers the broader social, political, financial, engineering, and labor contexts that have shaped railway history.

The digital publication is not only informative but visually appealing, featuring a strong pictorial element. Each issue is enriched with high-quality historical photographs both in black and white and color, meticulously reproduced to capture the essence of the railway scene over the years.

Upon subscribing to Backtrack Magazine within the platform, you will gain instant access to the latest issue along with any releases that occur during your free trial period.

If you're looking to catch up on past issues, the digital platform offers the convenience of purchasing older issues individually.

For those concerned about continuity and accessibility, the app supports login or registration to a Pocketmags account. This feature ensures that all your purchases are safeguarded should you change or lose your device and allows for browsing across multiple platforms.
