The Railway Interchange 2015 exhibition showcased the latest technology, services, and research by members of the Railway Supply Institute (RSI), the Railway Engineering-Maintenance Suppliers Association (REMSA), and Railway Systems Suppliers, Inc. (RSSI). Railway Interchange 2015 also featured technical presentations and discussions by the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA) and the Coordinated Mechanical Associations (CMA).

Attendance for Railway Interchange 2015 exceeded our expectations, and underscores its role as the leading North American railway exhibition and technical conference. – American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association Executive Director and CEO Beth Caruso.

We’ve had very positive feedback from both attendees and exhibitors, proof that Railway Interchange continues to provide value as it grows. The Coordinated Mechanical Associations continue to have robust agendas and their attendees found this year’s conference programs to be particularly useful and topical. – RSI President Tom Simpson.

With over 400,000 square feet of combined indoor exhibit display space, and more than 1.5 miles of combined outdoor on and off-track exhibits, Railway Interchange 2015 was the largest combined railway exhibition and technical conference to date in North America. – REMSA Director of Trade Shows David Soule.

Railway Interchange 2015 was an unqualified success. People are already asking about the next Railway Interchange and looking to secure booth space. –  RSSI Executive Director Secretary/Treasurer Michael A. Drudy.
