Committee 16 Chair Michael Couse

摘要

AREMA: Why did you decide to choose a career in railway engineering? COUSE: Railway engineering has always had an indirect and direct impact on my career and career choices. I began my railroading career with Canadian Pacific (CP) in Toronto, Ontario, in train service as a yardman/trainman and later a conductor. I was always interested in transportation, and particularly railways. I was fortunate to start my work life in an industry that I had a strong interest in and offered career opportunities for its Operations and Maintenance employees. I am now semi-retired and work providing roadway worker protection services for the Twin Cities and Western Railroad on the Metropolitan Council's Green Line Southwest Light Rail Extension project. Railway engineering, safety and accident prevention are still an important part of my life.
