ASLRRA has partnered with The Indiana Rail Road Company (INRD) and the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to offer a Locomotive and Car Compliance Training Seminar for short line railroads. Intended for short line railroad Chief Mechanical Officers, Shop Foremen, and Inspectors, this three-day training seminar will include 2 ½ days of classroom and one half day of hands-on field training covering compliance requirements of locomotives and railcars. FRA subject matter experts will review CFR Parts 215, 229 and 232 from a mechanical employee’s perspective and discuss common defects found throughout the industry and recommended actions for compliance. Attendees will have an opportunity to engage in open discussions with industry peers and subject matter experts who will be available to answer questions and remove any confusion regarding compliance.
Note: Attendees must wear PPE for hands-on field training.
