AREMA publishes recommended practices in nine separate documents. [2] Manual for Railway Engineering, Communications and Signals Manual, Practical Guide to Railway Engineering, and the Bridge inspection Handbook are four of AREMA's prime publications.
Railway bridges are built according to the "Manual for Railway Engineering" [12] published by the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA). [8] In Australia, the subject is covered in the Australian standard AS 5100.2:2017, "Bridge design, Part 2: Design loads".
The American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA) describes positive train control systems as having these primary functions: Train separation or collision avoidance; Line speed enforcement; Temporary speed restriction enforcement; Rail worker wayside safety; Blind spot monitoring.

The National Railroad Construction and Maintenance Association, Inc. (NRC) is a trade association in the railroad and rail transit construction industry. The NRC is a non-profit trade association, governed by a board of directors and administered by the Washington, D.C., government relations firm, TGA AMS.
Railway engineering is a multi-faceted engineering discipline dealing with the design, construction and operation of all types of rail transport systems. It encompasses a wide range of engineering disciplines, including civil engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering and production engineering.
However, these approximation formulas are still contained in practically all standard railway engineering textbooks. For the US, AREMA American Railway Engineering ..., PDF, p.57 claims that curve resistance is 0.04% per degree of curvature (or 8 lbf/ton or 4 kgf/tonne). Hay's textbook also claims it is independent of superelevation. [3]
Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) - used for detailed manual inspection; Radiography - used on specific locations (often predetermined) such as bolt holes and where thermite welding was used; Magnetic induction or Magnetic flux leakage - earliest method used to locate unseen flaws in the railway industry; EMAT Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducer
