Railway Interchange 2027

Railway Interchange is North America's largest railroad industry conference and exhibition. It began in 2011 at the request of the Class I railroads for a single trade show covering every facet of the industry, and today it showcases the technology, services and research of members of three supplier associations: REMSA for maintenance-of-way, RSI for the rolling-stock and mechanical supply chain, and RSSI for communications, signal and IT.

What to expect

The event combines a large expo with a conference programme.

• 400+ exhibitors with indoor exhibits and outdoor demonstrations of large machinery
• 25+ education sessions from REMSA, RSI and RSSI with industry experts and regulators
• A general session with rail leaders and regulators
• Lunches, happy hours and receptions in and around the exhibit hall
• Free expo hall access for railroad employees

Who attends

More than 4,000 rail industry professionals from around the world, per the organizer: railroad employees from Class I and short line railroads, railcar builders and lessors, component and systems suppliers, maintenance-of-way contractors, engineers and consultants.
