Sperry Rail Service – an inside look
Bob Tegtmeier
For 85 years, Sperry has been a world leader in rail detection. The organization helps railroads operate safely, as well as improve performance and reliability.
On May 8, Bob Tegtmeier will take us behind the scenes at Sperry and explain the types of vehicles used and the defects they are designed to find. Bob’s presentation includes photos and explanations of the Sperry testing process, and the kinds of information they provide to host railroads.
Sperry is a global company, working with railroads in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa.
This presentation is open to the public.
