4th Annual TTC Conference & Tour
2026-10-20 08:00 - 2026-10-21 17:00 (America/New_York) | Pueblo Convention Center / Transportation Technology Center, Pueblo, CO, United States
Join us for the 4rd Annual TTC Conference & Tour – the North American event that brings together live on-track demonstrations, technical sessions, and behind-the-scenes access to the Federal Railroad Administration’s Transportation Technology Center, the world’s largest and most secure rail testing facility. Each year, this conference allows railroads, transit agencies, suppliers, innovators, researchers, and government stakeholders to explore emerging technologies and the future of transportation safety, operations, and infrastructure.
Building on the momentum of recent years, the 2026 program introduces new content, expanded demonstrations, Technology Spotlight Sessions, and more opportunities than ever to learn, collaborate, and experience innovation in action. Whether you’re exploring new technologies, connecting with peers, or discovering groundbreaking research, the TTC Conference & Tour offers a one-of-a-kind forum to engage with the people, ideas, and solutions shaping the next generation of transportation.

Railway Age’s Next-Gen Rail Systems Conference has been the rail industry’s single-most important communications and signaling event since 1995.
The program for Next-Gen Rail Systems will encompass the entire system, examining how signaling and train control technologies are modified and improved by telematics, artificial intelligence, deep data analysis, cybersecurity measures and more.
Presented by leading experts, Next-Gen Rail Systems will feature in-depth technical sessions and comprehensive project updates on evolutionary and revolutionary developments in advanced and emerging technologies.

Sustainability and Resiliency Day (S&R Day)
2026-10-27 | I Hotel and Conference Center, 1900 South First Street, Champaign, IL, 61820, United States
The Sustainability & Resiliency (S&R) Day will be held in conjunction with the 2026 Railroad Environmental Conference (RREC). Hosted by the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA) and RailTEC at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the event will focus on how sustainability and resiliency concepts and best practices can be applied across engineering design, maintenance, operations, capital projects, construction, sustainable materials, and organizational change efforts within the rail industry.

Railroad Environmental Conference (RREC)
2026-10-28 08:00 - 2026-10-29 17:00 | I Hotel and Conference Center, 1900 South First Street, Champaign, IL, 61820, United States
RREC features presentations by railroaders, consulting engineers, academics, and others involved in all aspects of railroad environmental topics. The annual conference enables attendees to meet with peers from across the railroad environmental community to exchange views, learn about new techniques and technologies, and stay informed about the direction of the industry’s environmental programs.

‘Big Data’ in Railroad Maintenance Planning 2026 Conference
2026-12-09 08:00 - 2026-12-10 17:00 | University of Delaware, Trabant Theater, Trabant Student Center, 17 West Main Street, Newark, DE, 19716, United States
Converting the “Mountain” of Data Collected by Railway Systems into Effective Maintenance Planning Information with a Focus on Railway Needs and Practical Applications
This in-person conference is organized by the University of Delaware’s Railroad Engineering and Safety Program and University of Delaware’s Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering.
About the Conference:
Modern Railways are making increasing use of new generation inspection and operating technology to obtain more and more data on the condition of the track, equipment and operations. This extensive amount of data, which includes data of increasing complexity as well as volume, has led to a condition known as “Big Data,” where the volume of data is such that traditional analysis techniques are no longer viable to efficiently make use of all of this large volume of data. Thus, important information is often buried in this “mountain” of data. Since railways need to convert this data into useable information to help them plan their maintenance and capital programs as well as their ongoing operations, there is a need for the application of new and improved analysis techniques to make this conversion from data into information. One such area of improved data analysis is the use of “Big Data” or Data Analytics with its associated statistical analysis techniques, which is the focus of this conference.
The 2026 conference is intended to expand on previous years’ conferences and introduce these new and emerging analysis techniques and to show how they can be applied to the large volume of inspection and operational data collected by railways to improve their planning of the critical capital and maintenance programs. This year’s conference focuses on new and emerging applications of “Big Data” analytics to include infrastructure and rolling stock maintenance planning and railroad operations. The program for 2026 will use a 1-1/2 day format with a full day on Wednesday December 9, 2026 and a half day on December 10, 2026, with a reception the evening of December 9, 2026.
