Railway Age is accepting nominations for its 2007 SHORT LINE/REGIONAL RAILROAD OF THE YEAR AWARDS COMPETITION
DEADLINE EXTENSION: Friday, March 2, 2007. Winners of the 2007 Short Line/Regional Railroad of the Year Awards will be honored with articles describing their achievements in the April 2007 issue of Railway Age. The awards also carry specially-designed plaques.
Short line and regional carriers are invited to submit entries describing what they deem to be outstanding achievement in one or a combination of areas. These include, but are not limited to, turnaround situations; consistent excellence; innovation in operations or maintenance; marketing; customer service; enhanced productivity; community relations; safety improvement; and ingenuity in dealing with the unexpected. Each of the more than 500 smaller roads in Mexico, the U.S., and Canada is eligible for an award and may nominate itself. Size is not important. In the past, awards have gone to carriers ranging from 20 miles to nearly 2,000 miles. In some years, separate awards are given for regional and short line carriers.
A printable entry form is posted below. Entries should be submitted to: Marybeth Luczak, Executive Editor, Railway Age, 345 Hudson Street, 12th Floor, New York, N.Y., 10014. E-mail: mluczak@sbpub.com. Fax: (212) 633-1863. The deadline for entries to be received in New York is Friday, March 2, 2007.
Railway Age will work with the winners to publicize the awards in online and national print media.
