When most people hear the term "March Madness," they think college basketball. But many of us in the rail construction and maintenance industry know the term better as a reference to the last few weeks available before construction season begins to get our crews and equipment onto project sites. It's almost April and the start of the second quarter is only weeks away. Everyone is well rested and ready to go. Our equipment has been run through our shops, repairs and upgrades have been made and some pieces even got a fresh coat of paint. Our field force has gone through their annual training requirements and it is now time to get back to work for the long haul until the winter weather shuts us down again. The cycle begins anew. I would like to wish our entire membership a safe and productive 2015. Remember that good preparation will bring success, so plan well, be productive and, most of all, be safe.
