RT&S Virtual Conference: Grade Crossings

Rail-highway grade crossings have presented a challenge to railroads and local authorities alike since tracks began spreading across the country in the 1800s.

While grade crossing infrastructure, design, and technology have evolved significantly, grade crossings remain scenes of vehicle accidents, pedestrian incidents, and train derailments. In a perfect world, rail-highway grade crossings would not be needed, but we will continue to have grade crossings for the foreseeable future.

The RT&S Virtual Conference on Grade Crossings will discuss today’s methods of improving grade crossing safety. Stay up-to-date on how railroads continue to refine grade crossing design and protection. Learn more on driver safety education and discuss how partner organizations help in increasing the emphasis on safety for both railroaders and the public.

Some of the most horrific accidents in railroad history have occurred at rail-highway grade crossings, and we cannot let our guard down as we strive for improvement. Join us October 11 for this live broadcast and ask our experts your own questions.
