AREMA, recognizing the special needs of short lines and contractors, developed this workshop specifically for short lines with Class 1 – 3 trackage. Using the format of its successful workshop for Class 1- 5, the program has been completely retooled with photos depicting short line situations, problems and case studies geared only to Class 1 – 3 trackage. Introduction to Practical Railway Engineering April 16-18 Springfield, IL June TBA Calgary, Alberta, Canada Our experience has shown that typical participants benefiting the most from this course are those with limited exposure to the railway industry, or railroaders with highly specialized positions. For example, a structural engineer well versed in highway bridge design, but with some exposure to railway bridge design would gain valuable knowledge about track, signals, and railway operations typically unfamiliar to those outside the industry.
