MOW Spending Report 2019

What are freight railroads planning to spend on infrastructure upkeep in 2019? More? Less? About the same? What have passenger railroads and transit agencies set aside for maintenance-of-way (MOW) work for 2019? This month, we'll share the results of our exclusive annual MOW Spending Report, examining the budgets of more than four dozen freight and passenger railroads, breaking down the planned work within their programs — from rail to ties to bridges to stations.



C&S Technology:

PTC

U.S. railroads have spent billions working with suppliers to develop positive train control (PTC) technology. What is some of that new technology? Who's developing it? A cross section of suppliers and service providers share information on their PTC-related technologies and systems.



MOW:

Drone Technology & Inspection

Several North American railroads use drones to inspect track, bridges and other infrastructure, often in remote or hard-to-get-to places. What have drones been able to help railroads discern, inspection wise? What's next on the application front? For answers, we'll talk with railroads and technology providers.
