Market Insights
Every year railway industry leaders from freight and passenger rail lines present invaluable information and insights at the NRC Annual Conference. NRC members have free access to select conference presentations, which focus on transportation infrastructure spending, operational and contractor/supplier updates, as well as regulatory changes.
Conference attendees will be sent a link to access select presentations from the 2025 Annual NRC Conference. If you have questions or require access, contact the NRC.
The NRC established the Sustainability Committee to assist our members in preparing for the sustainability requirements in the North America railroad market. Like the freight railroads, NRC members span a wide spectrum of where they are in their sustainability journey. These updates will provide general visibility to the evolving sustainability landscape expected from our North America customers. You can expect updates as the sustainability landscape evolves and more information is available.

Railroad Day on the Hill is our opportunity to advocate for issues important to the industry. Personally, I look forward to this event each year because I truly believe it is essential for our perspective to be heard. I am continually amazed by the turnout, especially by our member companies. It is an honor to spend the day in Washington representing our industry, the railroads, Ames Construction and the NRC.
