IMCOM Railroad Track Standards and Maintenance Course
The Railroad Track Standards and Maintenance Course is sponsored by Headquarters Installation Management Command (IMCOM) as part of the Army Dams and Transportation Infrastructure Program (ADTIP).
This course is primarily intended for those who will be performing actual railroad inspection duties and thus require US Army Track Inspector certification as set forth in AR 420-1. However, others such as design engineers, transportation officers, Army National Guard or Reserve Component transportation personnel, etc. are encouraged to attend.
Students in this course will gain an in-depth understanding of UFC 4-860-03 Railroad Track Maintenance & Safety Standards, which governs inspection and maintenance of all Department of Defense owned railroad track. The course will focus on the basic components of railroad track, their function and importance, and the standards to which each component is required to be maintained. Training will include field work where students will perform different aspects of a visual detailed railroad track inspection according to UFC 4-860-03. Students will also be exposed to maintenance and repair techniques necessary to sustain an operational track network. At the conclusion of the course, students will have an opportunity to take the US Army Certified Track Inspector test, which is one of the criteria that must be met to become a US Army Certified Track Inspector (CTI).
