We’re laser-focused on #safety. Today at #Railrech, guests have been putting on a VR headset to try their hand at virtual reality welding. www.AAR.org/RailTech #RailTech #technology #norfoksouthern (at Rayburn House Office Building)

Rail delivers more than just the #economy. On May 15, we’re bringing virtual reality to the Rayburn Building in Washington, D.C. RSVP to see for yourself. #RailTech www.AAR.org/RailTech #norfolksouthern #techtalk

Hydrogen fuel cell trains are emerging as a sustainable alternative to diesel-powered rail transport, offering zero-emission mobility with water vapor as the only byproduct. As countries accelerate investments in green transportation and clean energy infrastructure, hydrogen-powered rail systems are gaining momentum for long-distance, non-electrified routes due to their lower environmental impact, reduced noise, and operational efficiency. With advancements in fuel cell technology, storage systems, and hydrogen production, the sector is set to play a major role in the future of sustainable railway modernization worldwide.

Siemens has handed over the first batch of 9,000 HP electric locomotives to Indian Railways for commercial operations, marking a major milestone in one of the country’s largest rail modernization projects—these high-performance D9 locomotives can haul up to ~5,800 tonnes at speeds of 120 km/h while integrating advanced digital monitoring for efficiency and reliability.

MIC Electronics Ltd continues to strengthen its RailTech footprint with a new mandate from Central Railway, reinforcing its growing role in India’s railway digital transformation. The project expands its scope in passenger information and telecom infrastructure, including advanced display systems, public address networks, and enhanced connectivity solutions—aimed at improving real-time communication, operational efficiency, and passenger experience across stations.
