Seminars and Workshop in Conjunction With The AREMA 2010 Annual Conference & Exposition

Introduction to Practical Railway Engineering Friday | August 27 Saturday | August 28 Sunday | August 29 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm 8:00 am - 5:00 pm 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Cost by 7/21/10 Member Non Member $650 $800 Cost after 7/21/10 Member Non Member $750 $900 Contact Hours 20

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.

The benefits from this seminar include contact with other railroad professionals through our low student/instructor ratio. Participants will gain a greater appreciation for the technical and not-so-technical aspects of railroad engineering and operations.

Registration fee includes a workbook containing printed copies of the presentation and a digital copy of the Practical Guide to Railway Engineering ($125 value) - an 800-page text published by AREMA.

Train Accident Investigation - Cause-Finding & Prevention Saturday, August 28 Sunday, August 29 8:00 am - 5:00 pm 8:00 am - 2:00 pm

Cost by 7/21/10 Member Non Member $550 $700 Cost after 7/21/10 Member Non Member $650 $800 Contact Hours 11.5

Topics for this seminar will include wheel/rail interfence, site investigation, derailments at switches, making station measurements, evaluating the mechanical condition of equipment, train handling, data analysis and documenting the cause.

The target audience for this course includes track inspectors, roadmasters, track supervisors, track managers, transportation managers, inexperienced railroad managers, and anyone interested in learning more about cause-finding and prevention of train accidents.

Rail Bulk Terminal Design Seminar Saturday, August 28 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Cost by 7/21/10 Member Non Member $475 $625 Cost after 7/21/10 Member Non Member $575 $725 Contact Hours 6.75

Participants benefiting the most from this course are industrial consultants, utility plant designers including process design, railroad consultants and industrial development staff.

This seminar will discuss designs of selected types of railroad bulk terminals, including simple sidings, loop tracks, multiple function petrochemical terminals and grain terminals.

FRA 214:  Roadway Worker On-Track Safety Saturday, August 28 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Cost by 7/21/10 Member Non Member $325 $475 Cost after 7/21/10 Member Non Member $425 $575 Contact Hours 3.75

This workshop has been developed for any potential roadway worker or contractor to a railroad.

FRA 214: Roadway Worker On-Track Safety is required by the 49CFR FRA 214 Regulations. This workshop will meet all FRA requirements relating to On-Track Safety using video, PowerPoint presentation and is instructor led.

Environmental Permitting Issues In Railroad Construction Projects Sunday, August 29 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Cost by 7/21/10 Member Non Member $475 $625 Cost after 7/21/10 Member Non Member $575 $725 Contact Hours 7.5

Completely updated seminar covering environmental issues and permitting requirements for all types of railroad construction projects, including a new section on publicly-funded projects, intermodal facilities, capacity improvement, structures, maintenance, and others. Half-day emphasis is given to practical discussions of example projects.

Track Alignment Design Wednesday, September 1 Thursday, September 2 Friday, September 3 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm 8:00 am - 5:00 pm 8:00 am - Noon

Cost by 7/21/10 Member Non Member $650 $800 Cost after 7/21/10 Member Non Member $750 $900 Contact Hours 16

Participants will learn design approaches of typical rail service, capacity and routing, and environmental interface problems with a sharp focus on development and evaluation of horizontal and vertical alignment geometric design. A case study approach provides incrementally higher levels of difficulties with multiple constraints.

This seminar is best for individuals that are responsible for track design production work, with 1-3 years of railroad or track design experience, or more experienced railroaders and engineers moving into track design responsibilities. Participants should have a rudimentary knowledge of railroads and railroad terminology. The IPRE or equivalent is an ideal precursor to this class.
