Rail & Manufacturing

One aspect of future manufacturing is increased rail freight.

Demand for railway freight is due to increase by 10 billion tons over the next 3 decades. To accomplish this some $70 billion in new investment to upgrade rolling stock, track, engines is needed. The increased demand and the upgrades that go along with expanded business can generate 1.4 million jobs - much of them in manufacturing.
Rail being more efficient and therefore less polluting than truck transport, is slated for this growing role in the coming decades.

Machining centers, component repairs, new efficient engine manufacture are some of the manufacturing needs. Training programs can get prepared for this increased demand now. MSSC Certification provides the foundation for these expanding transportation needs.
