At Raptor® Tank Cleaning Systems, safety is at the core of everything we do. That’s why we are proud to have played a role in the Iowa Interstate Railroad’s (IAIS) latest initiative—a hazmat training tank car designed to support first responders and enhance rail safety across the Midwest.
IAIS recently unveiled this specialized training car, IAIS 0911, which will be used to train emergency personnel on handling hazardous materials incidents. This project is a major step forward in rail safety education and emergency preparedness, ensuring that first responders have the tools and knowledge they need to protect our communities.
Our team at Raptor® Tank was honored to provide professional cleaning services for the training car, ensuring it met the highest safety and cleanliness standards. We appreciate IAIS’s commitment to this critical initiative and their trust in Raptor Tank to support their mission.
The new training tank car also features advanced railcar telemetry technology, including GPS tracking and load status monitoring, providing real-time information that enhances safety during emergency response scenarios. Additionally, the car proudly displays the emblem of Operation Lifesaver, Inc. (OLI), a nationally recognized leader in rail safety education.
We extend our gratitude to IAIS and its safety and operations team for their dedication to rail safety and emergency preparedness. At Raptor Tank, we remain committed to supporting industry leaders who prioritize safety, innovation, and community well-being.
