Westin Lake Resort and Spa in Henderson, NV, was the site recently for the 106th Annual Railway Tie Association (RTA) Conference.

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.
