“Railroad Training at a Glance”   .5 Credit

This one day “Railroad” experience will give you a glance at several aspects of actual railroad training.  In this interactive course, instructors will present overviews of each featured area of training. You will encounter the thrill of setting at the controls and hearing the roar of the engine on Locomotive Simulators.  You will have the opportunity to “classify” (build) a train on the computer generated Remote Control Simulators. In the Airbrake Mock-Up Lab, instructors will demonstrate on actual railcar undercarriage braking systems. Feel the thrill, hear the whoosh of “setting the brakes”.
