Has anyone found a solid, practitioner-level course that digs into intermodal train slotting, block swaps, and schedule robustness rather than just rail 101? Ideally something 20–30 hours I can finish this winter, with hands-on in tools like OpenTrack/RailSys and coverage of ramp coordination (e.g., gate hours vs. departure windows) and EDI 404/322 flows.
Closest match I’ve used is RMCon’s RailSys Academy ‘Timetabling & Simulation’ plus the Freight module — about 20–28 hours of real hands‑on in RailSys where you can model ‘block swaps’, gate‑hour windows, and stress‑test schedule robustness (more wrench‑turning than slideware): https://www.rmcon.de/en/academy; pair it with Railinc’s EDI 404/322 webinar for the messaging piece. If OpenTrack is a must, the OpenTrack AG training is solid but less intermodal — would that trade‑off work?
