The largest combined railway exhibition and technical conference in North America was again a combined effort between AREMA, RSI, REMSA and RSSI organisations. The event was a huge success with over 9,000 attendees to break the attendance record.

Successful Urgent Delivery from Kansas to Port Hedland

Detrain Logistics is proud to announce that it recently completed the delivery of 2 x second hand Flashbutt Welders from Kansas City, USA to Port Hedland, Western Australia. The freight was deemed urgent by the end client and as such required Detrain Logistics to charter an Ilyushin 76 Aircraft to deliver the units to meet a strict rail maintenance program. Significant planning and coordination was required for the conduct of this multi-modal logistics operation from factory to site to ensure zero delays as well as a successful result with Australian Quarantine.
