Through a public-private partnership, the Federal Railroad Administration and TTCI/AAR have worked together for nearly 40 years to operate and perform research at the Transportation Technology Center (TTC; pictured). Starting this fall, ENSCO will provide research and development, testing, engineering and training services at TTC.
The Transportation Technology Center, Inc., (TTCI) reported April 27 that it would develop a new engineering and laboratory facility in Pueblo, Colo.
The wholly owned Association of American Railroads (AAR) subsidiary has secured an agreement with the Pueblo Economic Development Corp. (PEDCO), which it said solidifies TTCI’s “commitment to its employees and the Pueblo, Colo., community.”

Management of the Pueblo, Colo.-based Transportation Technology Center (TTC) will move to a new vendor as of October 2022.
More than 50 miles of railroad track and specialized laboratories for testing locomotives, vehicles, track components and communications and signaling devices in the Colorado desert outside of Pueblo comprise the TTC, which is owned by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). Since 1982, the Association of American Railroads (AAR) has managed the TTC, most of that time through Transportation Technology Center, Inc. (TTCI), its wholly owned subsidiary. TTCI has held successive single-source Care, Custody and Control Contracts signed with the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA).
