This premier event unites professionals from across the wood tie and railroad industries: sawmillers, wood treaters, railroad engineers and procurement personnel, allied association representatives that support RTA’s efforts to promote the long-term sustainability of the wooden railroad tie, and many more.

Offered at the RTA Conference are informative sessions led by industry experts covering key topics such as:

•  Challenges and Opportunities in the Hardwood Marketplace

•  Legislative Affairs

•  Sustainability Practices

•  Research and Innovation

•  Railroad Engineering Projects

•  Railroad Procurement Trends and Expectations

Additionally, attendees had ample opportunities to network at receptions, a banquet and awards ceremony with a “Go, Team!” theme, RTA’s annual golf tournament at the Jack Nicklaus Signature Reflection Bay Golf Club, and off-site visits to the Red Rock Canyon National Preservation Area and the Hoover Dam.
