What our members say…

Railroading is big business, for sure, but it’s also a family business. My railroad mentors, colleagues and connections are a key reason why I highly recommend the industry to young professionals. If you’re looking to grow your industry contacts, I recommend you attend the NRC annual conference. It’s a smart way to build valuable connections and realize the blessings of being part of a family industry.
