Written by Marybeth Luczak, Executive Editor
The August 2023 issue of Railway Age is now available digitally, with deep dives into winter preparedness, derailment prevention, and Washington, D.C.’s Metrorail.
Inside, you’ll find these features:
- Sophisticated Simplicity — The Amsted Digital Solutions Bogie IQ™ takes onboard health monitoring to a new level.
- Are You Ready? — Railroads and suppliers share strategies and the latest tech for combatting cold climate challenges.
- Jurisdictional Jumble — “WMATA operates under an overly complicated structure that intertwines it with politics far more than other transit providers,” Railway Age Contributing Editor David Peter Alan reports.
- Derailment Prevention: Following the ‘Five I’ Model — In the latest edition of “Timeout for Tech with Gary T. Fry, Ph.D., P.E.,” Fry focuses on high level derailment safety statistics that include 2022, the most recent complete year.
- Crashworthiness for Alternative Fuel Powered Vehicles — This “TTC Operated by ENSCO” feature explores the shift to new fuels and energy storage systems, and the necessity to review and, in some cases, update current crashworthiness requirements and test protocols to ensure safe operation and reduce the consequences of extreme events, such as derailments and collisions.
Plus, Railway Age Capitol Hill Contributing Editor Frank N. Wilner asks, “Will the Supreme Court defang the Surface Transportation Board and the Federal Railroad Administration?”; Financial Editor David Nahass addresses the California Air Resources Board’s “leading with edict” strategy for zero-emission locomotive operations; and American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association President Chuck Baker outlines the “most robust model” for safety culture assessment.
