Join the ICE-SA webinar and connect with an industry leader in rail - Konstantinos Tzanakakis, Operation and Maintenance Team Leader from Rail Baltica.

The lecture will begin with the ancient “track roads” dating back to 600 BC, followed by the emergence of modern railways in the early 19th century with the development of the first steam locomotive. We will briefly present the development of high-speed rail that revolutionized transportation, including a brief overview of Maglev and Hyperloop technology. We will conclude with a funny story about the railway track gauge.
