Industry Associations
Next generation of rail staff The RTAA is gearing up for its Rail Industry Field Day, the single most important event in the organisation’s calendar. It takes place on May 11-12 at Sydney Trains’ Chullora rail yards. Walking around the AusRAIL PLUS conference, everyone I spoke to was keen for a return to the pre-COVID world where we could meet in person, celebrate our industry, and share our achievements. And the excitement was evident for the hands-on event that the Field Day promises to be. For those who haven’t been to the field day before, it is the largest outdoor rail exhibition in Australia. Hosted in a rail yard, it gives a unique opportunity to showcase heavy equipment, rail bound machines and demonstrate these fantastic machines in their native environment. Paired with live demonstrations of welding technology and
hands-on displays of hand tools, it is a unique event for maintainers and constructors to see and touch the latest technology. It also presents an opportunity to reach out to the next generation of rail staff and show them what and how we do what we do. With our colleagues in the learning and development industry, we can talk about the pathways to rail and how they can get the role that interests them. The best part? Entry to the Field Day is absolutely free! This is only achievable through the support of Sydney Trains and our fantastic sponsors and exhibitors. Finally, what is the Field Day without its no-tie dinner? This year we are doubling down on BIG and the dinner will be at one of the largest venues around, Accor Stadium in Sydney Olympic Park on Wednesday May 11.
RAIL INDUSTRY FIELD DAYS 2022 we are back… bigger and better than ever!
