Railway Interchange set for record-breaking show

Railway Interchange 2015 exhibition and conference in Minneapolis, United States, on October 4-7 is already shaping up to be a much larger event than the inaugural show in 2011.

“In 2011 we only used three of the four halls at the Minneapolis Convention Center, but for this year’s event we have hired all the exhibition halls and they are already pretty much full,” says Mr. David Soule, director of trade shows with the Railway Engineering-Maintenance Suppliers Association (REMSA), which together with the Railway Supply Institute (RSI) and the Railway Systems Suppliers Inc (RSSI) trade associations, is responsible for staging the exhibition.

BNSF is hosting the on-track side of the exhibition at its Northtown yard and this is also almost fully booked. A frequent bus shuttle will link the Convention Center with Northtown yard.

The American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA) and Coordinated Mechanical Associations (CMA), will stage technical and educational presentations alongside the exhibition.

Editor’s Update: As of June 3, 2015, the exhibition is sold out. Attendees will be able to visit a record 641 exhibitors on the Convention Center show floor and an additional 35 exhibitors at Northtown yard.
