The Twin Cities Railroad Simulation Center was developed at the request of the railroad industry. As the only facility in Minnesota specifically designed for the railroad industry, the Center provides a unique environment for evaluation and treatment of injured railroad workers. The goal is to help injured railroad workers return to productive employment in a safe, timely and medically appropriate manner. At the Center, actual railroad equipment, located in an outdoor setting, provides work simulation for many of the tasks of railroad employees.
Clients progress from simple tasks to complex before advancing to actual work activities.
The outdoor facility is equipped with railroad tracks, switches, ladders, brakes, hoses and cars.
