Firecrown has acquired Kalmbach Media's *Trains* (railroad) and *Astronomy* (space) media groups, significantly expanding its existing portfolio of transportation media brands.
The acquisition includes multiple rail publications, *Astronomy* magazine, and related e-commerce stores, with plans to retain all editorial and content resources in a new Wisconsin office.
Firecrown intends to heavily invest in expanding content, such as increased business coverage for the rail industry and broader space exploration topics for *Astronomy*, while also merging acquired e-commerce operations like MyScienceShop into its existing "Space Store."
The move leverages synergies between Firecrown's current aviation/logistics brands and the newly acquired rail and space properties, driven by a personal passion for these sectors from the company's leadership.
I am thrilled that Firecrownis expanding into the railroad and space media sectors by acquiring Kalmbach Media’s Trains and Astronomy media groups. This acquisition opens up exciting new possibilities for our company.
The Kalmbach portfolio is highly synergistic with Firecrown.
