The 30th Annual AAR Research Review will feature presentations and panels with leaders from across the rail industry.

The 30th Annual AAR Research Review brings together technical experts from all sectors of the railway industry, as well as leaders from Class 1 and short line railroads and suppliers from around the world. This highly anticipated industry event highlights results from the Association of American Railroads’ (AAR) Strategic Research Initiatives (SRI) Program. The 2025 event will include an in-person track walk at the newly constructed MxV Rail’s new FAST® Loop and other highlights of our multi-campus research facilities. Registration now includes access to the Early Career Railroader (ECRR) workshop.

The collective investment in SRI research by AAR members continues to drive results for industry safety, reliability, and efficiency, and promotes effective development and deployment of innovative new technologies.
