Efficient rail transportation is more important than ever all over the world. And providing railroad and government leaders an international forum to share their challenges and advances in technologies, operations, service, finances and logistics is just as vital.

That’s the thinking behind the Pan American Railway Congress Association’s XXI Pan American Railway Congress to be held Aug. 30-Sept. 4 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The event’s theme is “The Railroad as a Sustainable Instrument in the Integration, Development and Unification in Nations and Between Them.”

“[Various] courses taken have shown themselves and proved to be effective more so in some countries and with other railroads, but by no means as a universal adjustment,” said association member and Progressive Railroading co-founder Frank Richter. “What continues to be important is awareness of effective corrective initiatives and courses to adopt on their own or adapt from other countries or groups of countries. Much can be gained, as in the past, by government and railroad leaders focusing on that together at this periodic summit.”
