Progressive Railroading to recognize 'Women of Influence in Rail'

Today, Progressive Railroading is excited to announce "Women of Influence in Rail," a new recognition program to celebrate the impactful contributions that women make in the railroad industry.

Women of Influence in Rail will shine a spotlight on the achievements of who have demonstrated leadership, innovation, mentorship, technological advancements and sustainability efforts within the rail sector. Through Dec. 31, Progressive Railroading is seeking railroad companies' nominations of female employees who meet our criteria for influence in one of five categories: leadership, innovation, mentorship, technology or sustainability.

We want to know how your nominee's influence has left a meaningful impact on your company and/or the rail industry overall. Companies may nominate one female employee per category. Recognition is open to women working for North American Class Is, short lines, regionals, passenger railroads and rail industry suppliers, contractors, product manufacturers or engineering firms that contract with railroads.

Women of Influence in Rail honorees will be announced in Progressive Railroading's Daily News by Feb. 2, 2025, and recognized on the magazine's website, in print and at a virtual program in March 2025.
