Every two years Railway Interchange takes place in a major US city. This year, the premier rail event for the North American market will be held in Minneapolis on 22–25 September. Every other show, Railway Interchange features an outdoor display and it will do so in 2019! Inside you will find an interview with Ted Greener and Ian Jefferies from the Association of American Railroads, an update on funding and policy for the rail sector in the US and Canada, and an in-brief look at a number of rail infrastructure projects. The Confederation Line in Ottawa, Canada, is closest to completion, with its opening scheduled for 14 September 2019.
