Progressive Railroading's 2016 Rising Stars
The 2016 class of Progressive Railroading's Rising Stars encompasses a stellar batch of individuals under the age of 40 who may be "who's next" in terms of rail industry movers and shakers. Now in its fourth year, the program identifies 20 honorees from this year's pool of 140 reader-nominated individuals who are making a positive difference in the rail industry through their career achievements, demonstrated leadership, professional association activity or community involvement.

Focus on Technology:
What's Next?
What's next on the technology front in the rail realm? We'll talk "next" with freight and passenger railroaders, technology providers, academics and other industry leaders about how positive train control (PTC) is spawning its own subsets of innovation, where the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to creep into the rail realm, and what additional U.S. regulatory and legislative activity might be in the works. Other new-technology needle nudging will be discussed, both in print and online: the use of drones for surveillance and data collection; mobile apps that drive efficiencies and improve service; and more.

Mechanincal:
Fuel Management
Fuel costs continue to consume a significant portion of freight railroads' budgets. To reduce fuel usage and costs, the large roads continue to rely on the three e's: education, equipment and experimentation. Are they taking any different approaches when it comes to educating engineers on diesel-saving train operation techniques, employing locomotive engine-control devices or exploring the latest fuel-conserving technologies? Tweaking any existing programs or procedures? We turn to freight-rail executives for answers, creating the ideal environment for your ad message.

MOW:
Track Inspection Technology
What's new and/or tried and true in the track inspection product and services arena? Track inspection and rail-defect detection equipment suppliers and service providers share information on the products/technology they offer in the track inspection arena.

Product Roundup/MOW:
Ballast Management (Part 2)
Class Is, regionals and short lines still have a lot of ballast-related work to do, and they still need to know who to turn to for help. Railroad MOW managers rely heavily on suppliers and service providers that offer cutting-edge ballast equipment and related technology — from automated conveyor trains and distribution systems to ballast cleaners and an array of system options. Part 1 was in our June issue; here we relay information from several more equipment/technology providers.
