Press Releases

The American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association is currently accepting entries for its Twelfth Annual Marketing Awards Competition. All member railroads are invited and encouraged to participate. Eligibility and outcome will not be affected by either the size of a competing railroad’s project or the size of its operations.

Since it was introduced over a decade ago, submissions to the ASLRRA Marketing Awards Competition have increased each year. We have every reason to expect that this year will surpass all others, both in terms of the quality and quantity of entries. From among the received applications, a panel of three distinguished judges will have the difficult task of selecting three top marketing initiatives. Each winner will receive an engraved plaque at the 2007 Annual Convention in Baltimore, Maryland.

We encourage all member railroads to participate in this competition. Short line and regional railroads have some of the most innovative and successful marketing initiatives in today’s railroad industry. ASLRRA’s Marketing Awards Competition is a prime opportunity to demonstrate this fact to your peers, while also proving to present and potential customers how effectively you operate.

All entries must be mailed in triplicate and received by ASLRRA before Friday, March 9, 2007. Please send submissions to the following address:

ATTN: Jenny McKinney, Marketing Manager
American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association
50 F Street, NW, Suite 7020
