Getting to know Michael K. Williams, PE

摘要

Each month, AREMA features one of our committee chairs. We are pleased to announce that the January featured chair is Michael K. Williams, chair of Committee 16 - Economics of Railway Engineering & Operations. AREMA: Why did you decide to choose a career in railway engineering? WILLIAMS: As a pending graduate in 1985, I had no more than a casual knowledge of railroads. One campus interview later and I was contemplating an offer from Norfolk Southern. A college advisor told me that the railroad industry was a good place for a young civil engineer to start a career. He was right; I accepted the offer and I have never regretted that decision. AREMA: How did you get started?
