The 6th annual SafeRail congress, an evolution of the successful PTC World Congress series, aims to instill a culture of rail safety and operational reliability for Class 1, commuter railroads, shortlines and transit agencies across North America.

Officially supported by AAR, and FREE to attend for Government, Railroads and transit agencies, the show responds to increasing demands for safety upgrades and the need for whole system reliability with best practice strategies from 50+ experts speaking on:

• Complex deployments of PTC & CBTC
• Analysing data to improve performance and reduce cost
• Responding to growing cyber security threats
• Reducing workforce error and enhancing training

"The conference was especially valuable since it offered a forum for a cross-section of the railroad industry - Class 1's, passengers, short-lines, regulators, and vendors. "
