The American Public Transportation Association is pleased to present the International Rail Rodeo Handbook for contestants in the Nineteenth Annual event hosted by Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, June 11, 2011

We proudly honor the men and women who keep North America’s rail transit systems moving.  The Rodeo showcases competitors professional skills in separate competitions for train operator and maintainer teams.  Operator teams may be one or two operators; maintainer teams may be one, two or three maintainers.  Every contestant has impressive skills and makes significant contributions to the vitality of our industry. We thank them for excellent service.

For the seventh year, maintainer events are sponsored.  We recognize and extend our appreciation to Alstom, Era-Contact, ESDI, Penn Machine Company, Siemens, Wabtec/Wabco, and Westcode Incorporated.
