The ARA welcomes input from members for the development of a USA Study Tour to be held from Monday10 November to Friday 14 November.

Any members with operations, relevant experience or specific interests in the US rail market are encouraged to get in touch with Georgia Nicholls, the ARA’s General Manager, Freight and Heavy Haul, with their ideas to help inform the program development. We are particularly interested in opportunities in the Dallas, Pueblo and Colorado Springs region.

The tour will include topics such as operational innovation, artificial intelligence applications in rail, infrastructure development and the latest updates from global suppliers.

The USA Study Tour builds on the success of the ARA London and Paris Study Tour in 2024 and will be held the week prior to the International Heavy Haul Association Conference hosted by MxV Rail at their national test facility in Colorado Springs.
