What Attendees Are Saying

As a first-time attendee of the Women in Rail conference, I found the experience both inspiring and empowering. Being surrounded by so many passionate change-makers, all dedicated to their careers and driving meaningful change in the rail industry, was truly motivating.

The sessions about Leadership and hearing from my peers in the railroad industry put my work into perspective for me and I left feeling empowered to do more for my organization.
– Jacqueline Martinez, MTA Metro-North Railroad

It was uplifting to see so many women doing well in a predominantly male-oriented industry. It is a testament to their work ethic and drive and their stories were both inspiring and refreshing. It was truly a wonderful networking experience. #WomenRock!

Working in a male-dominated industry, it’s refreshing to attend a conference where I can’t count the women present on one hand! Women belong in STEAM, and Women in Rail serves as a powerful reminder of our influence on this industry.

This event was an incredible celebration—not only of the remarkable women in rail but of the entire industry. We still have ground to cover, yet we’re making significant strides, and the momentum will only keep building.
