MASS TRANSIT TRAINING NEEDS. VOLUME V. RAILCAR REPAIRMAN TRAINING NEEDS

The report is the fifth of a five-volume series summarizing the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of a study of urban mass transit training needs. This volume is devoted to the railcar repairman. About half of the training is generalized enough to allow a standardized training course to be developed. An outline of such a course, and sources of training material which would be included are presented. One conclusion is that because of the financial difficulties of the mass transit industry, it is recommended that implementation be delayed until funds become available to cover the costs of training.
