William W. Hay Railroad Engineering Seminars at UI-UC - Archived Info 'On-Line'

[Paul_D_North_Jr]

As a follow-up to my earlier post regarding this Friday's presentation by BNSF on Flange-Bearing Frogs -

These seminars are generally bi-weekly (= at 2-week intervals) during the University's semesters.  The archives for the 6 already done during the current Spring 2010 semester are at:  http://ict.illinois.edu/railroad/CEE/seminar.asp 

The archives for the previous ones - from Spring 2005 to Fall 2009 - are at:   http://ict.illinois.edu/railroad/CEE/pastseminar.asp 

The topics are not at all limited to the technical aspects of railroad engineering.  For example, there's one from just over a month ago on CSXT Network Planning: The View in 2010 at:  http://ict.illinois.edu/railroad/CEE/pdf/PPT's/Spring10/Potter.Steve.CSX.pdf  There's also one from 10-09-2009 on Bringing State-of-the-Art High Speed Rail to Illinois, at: http://ict.illinois.edu/railroad/CEE/pdf/PPT's/fall09/Walbrun_10-9-09a.pdf 

and so on - you should be able to find something of interest to you here.

Generally the earlier ones have little or nothing on-line, but as they become more recent there are more PowerPoint presentations and/ or PDF files, etc. that can be downloaded. 

There are also other interesting resources at the links along the left side of these pages.

I hope you find this information useful and enjoyable.

Paul,

Is there any charge for this?

George - 

Nope - it's all ''No Charge'' so far as I know or experienced when I looked at the CSX Network one earlier today - other than your usual personal costs for your Internet Service Provider access, computer, paper and ink/ toner to print anything on, etc.
