Rail crew training that goes where your crews go
A5 Rail builds AR training for railroads, so crews can practice dangerous scenarios and new equipment onboarding on the tablets and phones they already carry.
Does this need expensive hardware or a VR lab?
No. Our immersive AR training runs on the tablets and phones your crews already carry, so there is no dedicated VR lab to build, staff or schedule around. Crews get repeatable practice without traveling to a classroom for every session. That helps reduce training travel and the demand on your instructors, while your people stay closer to the job. It gives new hire onboarding a practical start. Use the ROI calculator to estimate what that could mean for your railroad.
Will our field crews actually use it?
Rail crew training sticks when it looks like the real job. Our scenarios are built around railroad work your people recognize, including derailment response simulation, switching yard safety and new equipment onboarding. New and experienced crews practice procedures in a safe environment and can repeat rare technical events until the steps feel familiar, without being pulled away from work for every session. Because it runs on devices they already carry, training fits the workday instead of adding another trip.
How is A5 different from other training providers?
A5 Rail is a technology company with roots in railroading. Our leadership brings together business, railroad operations, and technology expertise. We build technology around your team, grounded in the way rail works. Beyond railroad safety training, we help you capture specialist knowledge so it stays with your organization. OVRLAI helps teams understand new sites, equipment and construction before launch, and RailCommand, custom software and private AI and workflow automation are there when training is only part of the picture.
