Progressive Railroading will honor the 2014 class of 20 Rising Stars at a recognition dinner to be held Sept. 14 at the Union League Club in Chicago during the American Association of Railroad Superintendents annual conference.

Progressive Railroading launched the Rising Stars program last year to identify individuals under the age of 40 who already are making a difference in the rail industry. The magazine defines a Rising Star as someone under 40 years of age who has made, or is making, a positive impact on his or her company, organization, department or team, and is viewed by others — peers, colleagues, supervisors, clients or associates — as an up-and-coming leader in the rail industry.
