Cover Story:
MOW Spending Report 2021
What are freight railroads planning to spend on infrastructure upkeep in 2021? More? Less? About the same? What have passenger railroads and transit agencies set aside for maintenance-of-way (MOW) work for 2021? This month, Managing Editor Jeff Stagl shares the results of our exclusive annual MOW Spending Report, which examines the budgets of more than four dozen freight and passenger railroads, break down the planned work within their programs — from rail to ties to bridges to stations.
Technology Update:
Cybersecurity
As the freight transportation realm become more digitally reliant, every link in the chain can become more vulnerable to cyber attacks. A sampling of technology and service providers tell us what they're doing to help railroads secure hardware, software and information, as well as to prevent disruptions.
C&S:
Engineering & Design
We'll talk with companies that offer a broad range of services in the engineering and design space from product development support, project scoping, circuit design, product conformance inspection and product improvement.
C&S/Mechanical:
Onboard Monitoring
Onboard monitoring systems collect and transmit remote, data-driven, in-time operational intelligence to help railroads increase system availability, reduce on-track failures and improve efficiency. We'll feature an array of products, systems and technology that monitor locomotive health, train handling, fuel use and overall performance.
