InfoRail Overview
Centralized Tracking for Training and Certification Status
Many railroads obtain training materials, rules instruction, and examinations through industry organizations such as the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association (ASLRRA) and the National Railroad Construction and Maintenance Association (NRC). InfoRail does not replace these training programs. Instead, it provides the centralized recordkeeping and visibility layer that allows railroads to track completions, monitor qualification status, and maintain audit-ready oversight across training conducted through external and internal sources.
InfoRail organizes and maintains detailed records of training completions, qualification activities, and testing results from both internal programs and external providers, supporting compliance requirements under 49 CFR Part 243 for training program recordkeeping and oversight.
The system also supports certification and qualification record management aligned with 49 CFR Part 240 for locomotive engineers and 49 CFR Part 242 for conductors, providing clear visibility into certification status, expirations, and required actions.
For operating rules compliance, InfoRail centralizes operational testing and rules compliance records in support of 49 CFR 217.9, helping railroads demonstrate consistent oversight and documentation of required testing activities.
InfoRail complements existing training and certification programs by serving as the recordkeeping and visibility layer, without replacing course delivery or examination systems. By consolidating compliance data in one system, railroads can streamline compliance management, reduce administrative overhead, and maintain audit-ready visibility into workforce qualifications across all operational areas.
