For the second year in a row, The Michigan/Midwest Rail Conference to place in a virtual platform.   The event was held August 10-11, 2021 featured a full slate of panel discussions and two awesome keynote presentations.  The full schedule can be found under the Agenda tab HERE.  With sessions covering everything from rail safety, to shortline operations, tips on submitting grant applications, and the future of passenger rail there was a little bit for everyone.   Support from the 16 sponsors shown below and in the conference progam made the whole thing possible at a reasonable price.  Recordings of the conference panels and presentations can be found by registered users at the Rail Learning Center.  We are looking forward to next year, when a face-to-face conference may be possible!

Registration is now Closed.
