Traxx knows that the greatest training programs in the world can become virtually ineffective if not followed up with accountability. Over time without systems in place that monitor our performance, we tend to lean toward complacency, convenience, and compromise, exposing Class 1 Railroads to potential critical decision failures.

Today’s railroad industry requires that Class 1 resources be used at their maximum efficiency. This makes it difficult for exempt employees to keep track of contract E.I.C.’s that are in and out of their territory sometimes on a daily basis, and the contract companies although required to do their own auditing or efficiency testing leaves a little room for error, leaving the story open to interpretation. You could compare it to the proverbial “Fox guarding the Henhouse” analogy. Traxx Railroad Safety has come up with a solution to solve this problem as well as keep railroad resources focused on railroad resources. Requiring minimal investments from Class 1 Railroads.

If we have companies who are approved to provide on-track safety send us a list of anticipated weekly jobs or jobs that they are currently on. Traxx then arrives to random sites performing audits tailored very specifically to contract E.I.C.’s. If a critical decision failure is encountered we can immediately secure the jobsite and contact the local manager and proceed according to their direction. All of our field employees are rules and field trained so they not only know what to look for but they can take the necessary steps to mitigate potentially disastrous situations where critical decision failures are involved.
