Now in its fourth year, the Midwest Rail Conference brings together industry leaders to discuss key issues shaping the region’s extensive rail network. Covering freight and passenger rail across states like Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio, the conference explores topics such as rail investment, decarbonization, urban rail development, and the future of high-speed passenger service. Plan to see more topics, more speakers and a longer event! There will also be the National University Rail Center of Excellence (NURail CoE) 2nd Annual Meeting
