Description of 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 railcar 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.

Extremely Disappointing

As a First Responder, I am very disappointed that the app is now barring me from using it. The app is designed to work only on the latest iOS which my iPhone will not handle.
Since I do not have $1000 for a new iPhone that will run the latest iOS, I will be erasing this app. I feel this requirement borders on financial discrimination by allowing only those with new, expensive phones to access potentially lifesaving information.

Derailment

We had a derailment in the middle of our city. This app allowed us to find out what we had leaking and what other materials we had on the train. Worked great, an absolute must for responders that have a rail in their response area.
