Railway Age and Nick Little, Director of Railway Education at Michigan State University’s Center for Railway Research and Education, have worked together to select the 2020 Fast Trackers—10 Under 40 honorees. Representing the “best of the best,” these rising industry stars are making an impact. “This year was another strong field,” Little noted. “The breadth and depth of talent bodes well for the future. Though young by traditional railroading standards, this group demonstrated great leadership and people skills as well as industry and specialist subject knowledge. I was very impressed by the way many individuals have used their specific knowledge in new and innovative ways to help prepare today’s railways to face the future with confidence.”
