Railway Age’s 2020 Regional Railroad of the Year: Reading & Northern Railroad

Railway Age is now accepting entries for its annual Short Line and Regional Railroads of the Year competition. Class II and III railroads are invited to submit entries describing outstanding achievement in one or a combination of areas.

Railroads in the U.S., Canada and Mexico are eligible for an award. Our 2021 honorees will be recognized at the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association (ASLRRA) Annual Connections Convention in Phoenix, Ariz., Nov. 17-19, 2021. Articles describing their achievements will appear in Railway Age’s November 2021 issue, which will be distributed at the show. Railway Age will work with the honorees to publicize the awards in online and national media.

“‘Grass roots’ best defines the service provided by short line and regional railroads, which meet truly local needs and drive economic activity at the local level,” Railway Age Editor-in-Chief William C. Vantuono says. “They have an important role in shaping and even shifting North America’s economy. That’s because short lines and regionals are innovators when it comes to turnaround situations, consistent excellence, streamlined operations, efficient maintenance, marketing, customer service, enhanced productivity, community relations, safety improvement, and critically important first-mile/last mile rail connections. The ‘Big 7’ Class I carriers depend upon their Class II and III partners to deliver—literally.”

The entry deadline is Friday, Oct. 1, 2021.

Complete this form to submit a nomination.

Photos and other relevant material will be gratefully accepted but are not required for entries. If you wish to submit supporting material, please email it to Railway Age Executive Editor Marybeth Luczak, [email protected].
