Simmons-Boardman’s current structure did not begin to take shape until 1908. That year marked the merger of two very influential and prestigious railroad journals: The Railroad Gazette (founded 1856) and The Railway Age (1876). Two officers of The Gazette financed the consolidation and gave the new company its name: E. A. Simmons, The Gazette’s vice president-advertising, and William H. Boardman, its editor. Today, Simmons-Boardman remains the world’s largest publisher of rail industry information under the guiding hand of the McGinnis family. The late Arthur McGinnis Sr. gained a controlling interest in Simmons-Boardman in the early 1960’s. Arthur J. McGinnis Jr. is now chairman and president of Simmons–Boardman Publishing. Other senior officers of the company include Ms. Pat McGinnis, a co-owner and director; Ms. Kim McGinnis, director; Jonathan Chalon, Group Publisher; and Allen Morrell, controller.
