         Recognition for New York by Rail Magazine
 
Wappingers Falls, NY-September 17, 2025—Content Studio New York, a magazine, media and marketing company, has received two prestigious awards for publishing the 20^th Anniversary Edition of New York by Rail Magazine that was published in the spring of 2024.
For the 16^th year in a row, Content Studio New York has received the Apex Award for Magazine Excellence in the “Magazines, Journals and Tabloids, Custom Published” category.  Thirty-seven years running, the Apex Award is an annual national competition that recognizes excellence in publishing among communication professionals.
The 2024/2025 New York by Rail magazine was chosen from over 1,000 entries in over 100 categories. In a second wave of commendation, Content Studio’s New York by Rail Anniversary issue also took home the New York State Tourism Excellence Award in the “Tourism Marketing Campaigns, Projects and Program in Printed Materials” category.
On September 11, at a special ceremony in Lake George, the New York State Tourism Industry presented the award to Content Studio New York CEO Tom Martinelli.
“It’s an honor to be recognized--but to be recognized by both of these well-respected organizations is twice as nice,” said Martinelli.  “Partnering with Amtrak on this publication has obviously allowed us to create a magazine that travelers not only find to be a great resource, but one that they enjoy reading as well.”
The award is designed to recognize exceptional achievements by New York’s destination marketing organizations, attractions and tourism professionals across a wide range of categories
Since 2004, when New York By Rail was first published, the magazine and
its digital version have been the sought-after guide for train travelers and
pleasure seekers alike. As an official Amtrak publication, 75,000 copies of
the magazine are printed annually and distributed through most New York
Amtrak owned stations, tourist Information centers, airports, hotels and
