Calling All ‘Fast Trackers’ Nominations! Deadline: Jan. 8

Retired Michigan State Center for Railway Research & Education Director Nick Little will once again serve as judge for the awards program, which was established in 2016 recognizing 10 individuals under 40. In 2021, the number of honorees was increased to 20, due to a growing number of entries and outstanding candidates. And in 2022, the number of honorees was again increased to 25.

“One of railroading’s most valuable assets is the vast amount of institutional knowledge held by its people,” says Little. “Each year, it is heartening to see how our awards program nominees are contributing to it. These diverse young leaders show breadth of knowledge, experience and achievement coupled with application, commitment and agility in their field of expertise, yet also are giving back to both the industry and society. I look forward to the challenge of choosing honorees for 2025.”
