What is a rail transit engineer?

Rail Transit Engineers are professionals who design, plan, and oversee the construction and maintenance of rail transit systems, such as subways, light rail, and commuter trains. They ensure that rail infrastructure is safe, efficient, and meets regulatory standards. Their work involves collaborating with architects, urban planners, and government agencies to develop rail routes, stations, and related facilities. Rail Transit Engineers also address technical challenges like signaling systems, track alignment, and integration with other transportation networks.
