RailTrends 2026 moves to a new downtown setting near FiDi—bringing the rail industry's top decision-makers together in the heart of New York City.
The premier intelligence summit for rail, it convenes senior leaders across finance, operations, government, investment, and more. What sets it apart: substance and access. The insights are sharper, deeper, and ahead of the curve.
Founded in 2005 by Tony Hatch of ABH Consulting and presented with Progressive Railroading magazine, RailTrends is the singular, can't-miss event for those shaping the future of the industry.
Join us as we relocate from RailTrends' former Times Square location to the New York Marriott Downtown, in the heart of Lower Manhattan and steps from Wall Street and the Financial District.
This vibrant new venue offers a fresh setting for networking, learning, and connecting with the leaders shaping the future of rail.
Sleeping rooms are available at the New York Marriott Downtown at discounted rates. Please use this link to book your room by October 18:
