January Railway Age Digital Edition On Line Written by Marybeth Luczak, Executive Editor
Railway Age’s January 2021 issue is now available digitally. It features a cover profile of Canadian Pacific President and CEO Keith Creel the 58th annual recipient of Railway Age’s Railroader of the Year Award.
“Creel has been instrumental in Canadian Pacific forging a leadership role in the industry, while acknowledging the railroad’s place in history and its role in driving the North American economy forward,” Editor-in-Chief William C. Vantuono writes. “He has helped renew Canadians’ and CP employees’ sense of pride in a company that connected a nation, and connected Canada to the rest of the world. Under his steady hand, and under very difficult circumstances this past year, CP has been a safe, efficient and productive railroad, enabling its customers to connect with domestic and global markets.”
Dr. Albert J. Reinschmidt, Aug. 7, 1947 – Jan. 5, 2018
Dr. Albert J. Reinschmidt touched the lives of many during his railroading career, which spanned more than 40 years. With his passing on Jan. 5, 2018, the international railway industry lost a great leader and friend. But Al’s memory lives on through the Albert J. Reinschmidt Memorial Scholarship Fund.
What began as a dream of the “Friends of Al” is now entering into its third year providing scholarship funds to students of railway engineering. The scholarship fund was founded to commemorate Al’s many contributions to advancing the state of the art in railway engineering, and his support, encouragement and mentorship for colleagues and students in their pursuit of knowledge in the field.
