Progressive Railroading is pleased to present the newest source of information for the freight-rail industry. RailPrime will focus on what's changing and what isn't in the freight-rail realm — from mergers & acquisitions to the changing face(s) of the industry to global freight issues/trends — and why it matters to our far-flung audience.
We aim to put the industry headlines in current and, when we can, future context. We will lay out some of the key trends and identify some of the key players so you can try to make sense of what is happening in the industry (and make decisions accordingly).
Content will be categorized into the following:
Quick Hits – shorter, more frequent coverage of a range for freight topics and trends in our "This Week in Rail" section, Q&A interviews with key industry insiders, plus a "This Day in Rail History" feature.
Trends and Data – profiles of rail leaders and up-and-comers, stories in which rail officials discuss what they're doing to develop and nurture their workforces of the future, "at a glance" dispatches from freight transportation developments from around the world, articles and conversations centering around the freight transportation technology evolution, and data and trend-tracking information in our "Prime Numbers" section.
Special Reports – In-depth, downloadable reports on topics that call for extra coverage. Our first Special Report, "The Staggers Act at 25: The Short Line Evolution and The Revolution It's Caused," is an in-depth report on the deregulation of the rail industry and what it has meant… and will mean going forward.
Webcasts and Events – throughout the year RailPrime subscribers will be invited to exclusive webcasts only available to active RailPrime subscribers. RailPrime subscribers will also receive exclusive discounts to Progressive Railroading events throughout the year.
