"Heartwood Sims are used in every class for Conductors, Engineers, & mechanics, and loving them. New hires are leaving training with better experience…it’s so easy to use simulators, even technologically challenged people have no problems.

"The ability to practice within the virtual environment is leading towards better knowledge retention and fewer mistakes. Employees retain, understand more of what they’re learning and remember safety protocols. We are training one-third of transportation employees each year and a version specific to mechanical employees."

“The technology allows us to objectively measure their performance on each task, provide immediate feedback, and electronically capture completion of the training for record keeping."
