Progressive Railroading is the only independent, third-party audited publication in the rail industry. What does that mean for you? Lot of things.
- We've got nothing to hide. We let AAM, the most trusted media audit outlet, deep dive into our audience and circulation so you can rest easy knowing who's receiving our magazine because audience is king!
- Our lists are current. You wouldn't buy old, expired food would you? So why would you buy old, out of date databases? When you advertise with PR, you know the audience is up to date.
- Never buy without seeing an independent audit. Would you buy a car just because the salesperson says it's great? Or would you look for independent reviews online? Media is no different. You can find our latest audit below.
- You can tap into our audience in the December issue. Your next chance to appeal to the decision-making readers of Progressive Railroading is our upcoming December issue. Check out the full preview below.
