When we determined our conference theme, Sustaining Midwest Rail, we did not anticipate how well it would fit the current conditions. Like many other businesses, both within and outside the US, the focus of rail transportation shifted almost overnight from “growth” to “sustaining” in this age of a new normal ... whatever that may be!
Our program reflects this disruption and the response of the rail sector to these unprecedented times. It brings together different stakeholders for a conversation about where we go next and how we need to reconsider our strategies for sustaining and developing rail transport in the Midwest, and nationwide.
