Rail Transportation Division (RTD) promotes mechanical engineering applications to railroading and rail rapid transit as well as conventional intercity freight and passenger railroading. The ASME Rail Transportation Division (RTD), founded in 1920 as the Railroad Division, is one of the oldest and most active of ASME s 37 Divisions and Subdivisions. Today RTD promotes the engineering profession within the railway industry, and holds two technical conferences per year. A wide variety of topics are covered at the conferences including subjects related to freight, passenger and locomotive operations and maintenance, infrastructure improvements, mechanical components, and safety research. ASME RTD also has a program for designating historical mechanical engineering Landmarks within the railway industry. Railway engineering is a multi-faceted engineering discipline dealing with the design, construction and operation of all types of railway systems. It encompasses a wide range of engineering disciplines, including civil engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering and production engineering. A great many other engineering sub-disciplines are also called upon. With the advent of the railways in the early nineteenth century, a need arose for a specialized group of engineers capable of dealing with the unique problems associated with railway engineering. As the railways expanded and became a major economic force, a great many engineers became involved in the field, probably the most notable in Britain being Richard Trevithick, George Stephenson and Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Today, railway systems engineering continues to be a vibrant field of engineering.
