Participation is key

摘要

I was fortunate enough to represent AREMA at the 97th Annual Railway Tie Association (RTA) Symposium and Technical Conference in Tucson, Ariz., this fall. The conference was excellent, with many great presentations regarding scientific testing, the state of the tie industry, as well as the railway industry. AREMA has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with RTA and we look forward to continuing that rapport well into the future. While I was there, I took the time to stop into AREMA's Committee 30 -Ties, meeting. With many of the committee members already present at the RTA event, the technical committee took advantage of the location.
