Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, in the journal Infrastructures (MDPI), aims to provide a premier international forum for a wide range of professions, including academics, researchers, and industry professionals, to discuss and present the most recent challenges and developments in "Recent Advances in Railway Engineering." This Special Issue invites contributions of original, high-quality research (research and review papers are also welcome). The papers' subjects may range from the railway vehicle across the track to the subsoil, but they are all related to the engineering (preferably—but not limited to—civil, mechanical, electrical, transportation and environmental engineering) field. The papers may include the results of modern laboratory tests, field/in situ tests, numerical modeling, railway diagnostics, etc.

We anticipate that this Special Issue will “pave the way” for new research and technological advancements in this vital field.

Prof. Dr. Szabolcs Fischer
