Training Seminars

Throughout the year, the ASLRRA, in conjunction with the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) provides numerous training seminars. These seminars allow employees of Class II and III railroads the opportunity to increase their knowledge of important aspects of the everyday operation of your railroad.

Joint ASLRRA/FRA seminars cover almost all of the aspects you will need to keep the short line industry at the cutting edge of transportation.

As part of our effort to provide you with the most up-to-date, pertinent training, ASLRRA has worked in conjunction with NARS, and various Class I partners to provide short line and regional railroads with bridge training. These sessions will concentrate on the various aspects of maintenance of bridges under new federal regulations. To view the most recent training opportunities, click here.
