“Having two rail industry leaders in Ms. Farmer and Mr. Creel—as well as an excellent line-up of freight rail experts and advisors—makes our Winter Meeting a can’t-miss event,” said MARS President Stefan Loeb, who is Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer of Watco Companies. “We reviewed evaluations from recent meetings to determine the speakers and topics that were of highest interest and have put together a value-packed meeting for attendees.”

The Jan. 20 meeting will run from 1–5:15 p.m. CST (2–6:15 p.m. EST). Register by Friday, Jan. 15.

Katie Farmer—who became the first female chief executive of a Class I railroad on Jan. 1—talks about leading BNSF and the “hard-working men and women” of its workforce in a recent Rail Group On Air Podcast.
