American Short Line

and Regional Railroad Association

The benefits of membership!

ASLRRA is proud to partner with the National Academy of Railroad Sciences (NARS) to provide its members with access to training in virtually every craft, including: locomotive engineer, conductor, yard crew, mechanical, maintenance, engineering, signal systems, and telecommunications.

This training comes at an exceptional value as NARS has deeply discounted their coursework for ASLRRA members, a particularly appealing feature in these tough economic times. Yet the economy is not the only challenge you face. A well-trained work force is perhaps more important now than ever before due to the new regulatory burdens your operation faces. You know better than anyone that even in an often adverse environment your operation has to keep going. With NARS’ cost-effective training options you can afford to give your employees the tools and knowledge they need to excel at their jobs, improving operational efficiency and your bottom line!

Participants in the ASLRRA/NARS Member Partner Program may access a number of training products:

• 3 Railroad specific value packs, which address FRA training for Transportation, Mechanical and Engineering.
  Each value pack is $225 for ASLRRA, $275 non-members.
• Railroad Training Courses for specific crafts are individually priced at $50 per lesson for ASLRRA members
  $75 for non-members.
• Information Technology courses. Over 200+ IT courses to assist office staff in providing the necessary computer and
  software application skills to ensure success today and in the future.

With such a wide variety of training options, the NARS program provides ASLRRA member railroads with a unique opportunity to attain the highest level of academic and technical training excellence through instruction from career railroad employees with extensive work experience. For a detailed list of offerings, please visit the NARS website or contact John Irons by phone at 913.319.3966 or (800)228-3378 or by email at john.irons@narstraining.com.
