Description

The AskRail app is a hazardous materials safety tool for first responders who are first on scene or directly support the first on scene in the event of a rail incident. Access to certain features, including the ability to query rail car contents based on an equipment number, is restricted to authorized personnel.

To obtain authorization to use the restricted features, you must assert that you are a first responder, provide information about your emergency response agency, and identify a supervisor who can attest to your first responder duties. You also must obtain sponsorship from a Class I railroad. This process may take up to several weeks.

AskRail is a collaborative effort among all North American Class I railroads, the Association of American Railroads, Railinc Corp., and the Transportation Technology Center, Inc. AskRail for Android is FirstNet Listed.

Hazardous material data, guides, and contacts are derived from the current Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) published by the U.S. Department of Transportation.

You can find out more about the ERG at: http://www.phmsa.dot.gov/hazmat/outreach-training/erg

AskRail is maintained by the Association of American Railroads and is not associated with the U.S Department of Transportation.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

3 ★Not yet used except for training
5 ★It always works.
5 ★Has worked on all my Android devices!
5 ★Great tool to access information during emergency responses involving or near the railroads.
5 ★I've had Ask Rail since not long after it came out and it's had it's ups and downs. There have been phones it wouldn't work on, but works fine on an S22 Plus. Used for training previously but this April I used it on an actual derailment with leaking cars. Within 5 minutes of arriving we had 100x more information than we could have asked for. While downloading the entire consist took about 3 minutes on the app, it was well worth it. We were able to identify immediate hazards and act accordingly.
5 ★As a volunteer fire fighter this is great tool to have access to when I need to look up rail cars and what the content of said car are.
1 ★Unable to verify account. Also tried contacting support but the email can't be sent.
4 ★Easy to use and up-to-date.
3 ★When it works, this is a great app. The problem is with the registration process. I often have to uninstall and reinstall the app multiple times when I get a new device and go through the approval process with multiple emails before I can get it to work. However, once you're properly registered, this is a great resource.
1 ★App has stopped working if this app does not start working soon and get back to working order it will be like so many others that I will have to delete
