RailTrends 2019 opens conference registration

RailTrends^® has opened registration for this year's conference, which will be held Nov. 21-22 at the New York Marriott Marquis in New York City.

Now in its 15th year, RailTrends — presented by Progressive Railroading and Tony Hatch, senior transportation analyst at ABH Consulting — features the perspectives of senior executives from Class Is, regionals and short lines during two days of sessions and networking opportunities.

In June, RailTrends and Progressive Railroading announced Kansas City Southern President and Chief Executive Officer Patrick Ottensmeyer will be the 2019 recipient of the Railroad Innovator Award, which recognizes an individual's outstanding achievement in the rail industry.

KCS’s president since 2015 and CEO since 2016, Ottensmeyer has helmed the railroad during a pivotal stretch in its history and will receive the award at RailTrends.
