Progressive Railroading will hold its annual RailTrends conference Sept. 30-Oct. 1 at the Affinia Manhattan in New York City.
The two-day summit — supported by independent rail industry analyst Tony Hatch — is designed for railroaders, suppliers, equipment lessors, finance institutions, shippers and other stakeholders in the rail industry's growth.
RailTrends' speaker roster includes:
• John Kaiser, Union Pacific Railroad's vice president of intermodal;
• John Giles, RailAmerica Inc.'s president and CEO;
• Kevin Kaufman, BNSF Railway Co.'s group VP-agricultural products;
• Jean-Jacques Ruest, Canadian National Railway Co.'s senior VP of marketing;

• Cliff Mackay, the Railway Association of Canada's president and CEO;
• Bruce Carlton, the National Industrial Transportation League's president and CEO; and
• Jason Hayes, the American Coal Council's communications director.
RailTrends' motto, "Financing Capacity and Growth in the Railway Industry," signals how the educational and networking event has emerged as a touchstone meeting for the rail industry. In the short time since its launch in 2005, RailTrends is now nationally recognized as a unique meeting-of-the-minds in the rail financing industry.
Miller Tabak & Co. L.L.C. is the event's platinum sponsor. Gold sponsors include GATX Rail Corp. and Oliver Wyman, and silver sponsors include RailSolutions and Gross & Janes Co.
