Progress Rail Showcases Connected Infrastructure Solutions at InnoTrans 2026

BERLIN (Sept. 24, 2026) – Progress Rail is highlighting advanced signaling, monitoring and track technologies at InnoTrans 2026 that equip railroads to manage increasingly complex networks while meeting growing demands for reliability and operational efficiency.

"Our customers are focused on maximizing network availability while controlling maintenance costs," said Sam Doerr, executive vice president of infrastructure at Progress Rail. "By combining infrastructure expertise with advanced signaling and monitoring technologies, we provide the information needed to prioritize maintenance, reduce disruptions, and extend asset life."

Recent collaborations with Railmonitor, Triton Group and STA demonstrate Progress Rail's continued focus on practical infrastructure solutions.

• Railmonitor provides real-time condition monitoring for earlier identification of track and asset issues.
• Triton's composite railroad ties extend track life, reduce maintenance costs, and support sustainability through recycled materials.
• Through its work with STA, Progress Rail has deployed and commissioned Italy's first ERTMS Level 2 system on a conventional railway line along the Merano-Malles corridor, enabling operations without traditional lineside signaling.

Visitors to Hall 2.2, Stand 130 can explore some of these latest infrastructure products from Progress Rail – plus discuss real-world applications with experts from across the company. Featured discussions will focus on maintaining network availability, prioritizing investments, and addressing the operational challenges facing railroads today.
