The TSLRRA Annual Meeting is the premier gathering for short line and regional railroad stakeholders across the state, strategically rotated to maximize advocacy and industry collaboration.

In odd-numbered years, we meet in Austin to coincide with Texas Railroad Day at the Capitol. This timing is critical, as it aligns with the Texas Legislative Session, allowing our members to engage directly with lawmakers and provide a unified voice for rail advocacy when key policy decisions are being made.

In even-numbered years, our meeting is held in the DFW area in conjunction with the Southwestern Rail Conference. This partnership allows our members to engage with a broader regional audience, tapping into a wealth of knowledge regarding passenger and freight rail integration, infrastructure development, and technological innovation across the Southwest.
