AREMA NEWS Professional Development Upcoming Seminars FRA 214 Roadway Worker On-Track Safety Salt Lake City, UT September 20 (PDH/CEU: 4.0) This workshop has been developed for any potential roadway worker, or contractor to a railroad. This seminar is in conjunction with the AREMA 2008 Annual Conference. Environmental Permitting Salt Lake City, UT September 21 (PDH/CEU: 6.25) This seminar is designed for Engineering, Environmental, Construction, Industrial Development, and Planning Department staff from the railroads, as well as their contractors and consultants. This seminar is in conjunction with the AREMA 2008 Annual Conference. Introduction to Practical Railway Engineering Salt Lake City, UT September 24-26 (PDH/CEU: 16) 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. This seminar is in conjunction with the AREMA 2008 Annual Conference.
