Railway Track & Structures - November 2008 - (Page 10)

AREMA NEWS Professional Development Upcoming Seminars Introduction to Practical Railway Engineering January 11 – 13, 2009 Fort Myers, FL In conjunction with NRC Conference 2009 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.
