I believe this has been addressed before - the reason for wanting the RAW file is so the image can be tweaked for publication. I would submit that one should send both the "finished" image and the RAW file so they can see what you intended for the image before making any adjustments to accomodate the printing process.
This would be very important if you cropped or adjusted the image to gain a certain effect.

K. P. Harrier It is unknown if a new publisher is needed, or if someone’s head needs to be chopped off, but something needs to be done at Kalmbach, as incompetence invariably leads to oblivion. PLEASE, PLEASE DO SOMETHING, KALMBACH! You are acting like Amtrak, a severely strangled organization!

Ouch!! Before you go to those extremes maybe contact the magazine directly and get clarification..
Already the "Photo of the Day" feature could be renamed "Photo of the Week", or perhaps "Photo of the whenever we get around to it".
Since 2/18, there have been only 3 photos: Mac in the mist is repeated 8 times; Crossroads is repeated 7 times; and Local hero has been repeted 9 times (so far).
And somewhat related, it seemed to me that the April 2018 issue had a smaller "Gallery" section, as well as a smaller "Ask Trains" feature.
Inspired by Brian Schmidt’s “Railroad photography: Shooting for publication” very recent blog, it must be said that TRAINS current photo submission guidelines policy strikes this forum contributor as doomed. Who in their right mind would submit a screwed up photo? But, yet, that is what TRAINS wants, unaltered RAW ones. Is the famed rail photographer Richard Steinheimer now turning over in his grave?
Working against TRAINS Magazine is a disjointed organization! Yes, disjointed, where the right hand doesn’t seem to know what the left is doing. Contradictory instructions for submissions and inquiry email addresses that don’t work are the sure signs of an impending magazine name change to “Zero Photos Rail Magazine.”
