Rail Infrastructure

Rail infrastructure is the fundamental component of the rail system. It determines the essential framework for the subsystem rolling stock. It includes plots of land and all structures and facilities required to process rail transport. Track infrastructure is one aspect of railway infrastructure covering components such as tracks, tunnels and bridges. Railway stations are a further aspect of infrastructure important for rail operations.

Develop your knowledge of the principles of rail systems and understand the interconnection of each component for an efficient and safe rail operation. Broaden your know-how of rail infrastructure with our trainings on topics such as operational rules, rolling stock and vehicle construction; the infrastructure and its elements, signaling, the operation and its concepts.
