Course CEE 408 "Railway Transportation Engineering" is a cornerstone of the railway engineering education program developed by the Rail Transportation and Engineering Center (RailTEC) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). Although lectures in this course have been continually improved and presented and data has been updated each year, many elements of the course date to its initial offering in 1999. This project developed new and revised course materials to expand coverage of key concepts that influence the economics and efficiency of railway transportation. The class was restructured to introduce the railway infrastructure, vehicle, motive power and control subsystems in a manner that highlights the key economic drivers behind industry decisions and their impact on the overall efficiency of the railway system in North America. In revising the course content, the class was transitioned to being offered both in the classroom and online commencing in Fall 2013
