Features AskRail
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.

A Google user
"Have had this app for response reference with the FD and HazMat Team. Since the update I can't do anything with it. Uninstaller and reinstalled and now soooo many hoops to re-verify and re-register. Cant fill in half the areas to register. What a mess. Once they get it figured out I may reinstall. Good Info if you can get it to work. The problem I am having is registering again. It won't accept info or let me edit fields. I have already been verified when I used it before."
Chad Jenkins
"UPDATE INFO. **FOR ALL YOU WHO CANNOT FILL REQUIRED FIELDS** You have to go into settings and clear your data and Cache for this application. Then reopen and BAM! It works!! Then after you confirm email, go back into registration tab. Everything should be prefilled. Then re-agree to two statements at bottom, hit submit, and BAM! Full access once again!"
Jonathon Cooper
"I have used this app for a year or so with no problem. Then when I needed to verify my email address then the program stopped working. Wouldn't let me verify email address and so forth. I have uninstalled & reinstalled the program 4x. Each time to no availability. It is a decent program if it works properly."
Dave Lightner
"Great app for the Haz Mat responder"
Thomas Miller
"The app worked great so I get a email to update now I can't fill out the application for the registration very frustrating"
Robert Evans
