Interurban Press was a small, privately owned American publishing company, specializing in books about streetcars, other forms of rail transit and railroads in North America, from 1943[1][3] until 1993.[2] It was based in the Los Angeles area, and specifically in Glendale, California after 1976.[1] Although its primary focus was on books, it also published three magazines starting in the 1980s, along with videos and calendars. At its peak, the company employed 10 people[3] and generated about $2 million in business annually.[2]
