Railway Age is calling on subscribers to submit their nominations by 5 p.m. ET today, April 9, for the sixth-annual 10 Most Influential Industry Leaders poll.

The North American railway industry in large part is driven by influential leaders, people whose mantra is making a difference, and who are committed to service. Railway Age subscribers may now nominate an individual they believe is the single-most influential active (non-retired) man or woman in the industry. The top 10 will be featured in Railway Age’s May 2025 issue.

ELIGIBILITY:

  • A nominee can be from a Class I, II or III freight carrier; a switching and terminal railroad; a regional/commuter, intercity, rapid transit or light rail passenger railway; a supplier, contractor or consultant; a trade association; or a government agency with jurisdiction over the industry (i.e., FRA, STB, FTA).
  • Nominees must be part of the North American (U.S., Canada or Mexico) rail industry.
  • Self-nominations will not be considered.

DEADLINE: Wednesday, April 9, 2025, 5 p.m. EST
