“NARS is a great program for anyone seeking to enter the railroad industry. It prepares you and gives you a competitive edge for those who chose to apply with no previous experience.”
Signal
NARS training can help alleviate any concerns about the proper operation of your signal systems.
Taught by experienced railroad professionals who conduct similar training for the Federal Railroad Administration’s signal inspectors, our courses prepare your maintenance forces to install, maintain, troubleshoot, repair, and test all signal systems.
We teach the work skills required for work as a signalman, including basic knowledge of electricity and electronics, relay logic, highway-grade crossing warning systems, standard test and inspection methods, and exposure to the latest railroad signaling technologies.
Students work in an error-forgiving lab environment on the same equipment they install and maintain in the field, including signals, electronic switches, and computer equipment. Training is conducted using traffic control, grade crossing, automatic block signal system and automatic interlocking simulators, and track circuit simulators.
