NRC CONFERENCE PROVES TO RE ANYTHING BUIT DRY

摘要

For the tenth year in a row, the National Railroad Construction and Maintenance Association's Annual Conference can claim a record number of registrants, tallied at approximately 1,100. A feat made more impressive because the 2014 NRC Conference, which was held January 5-8, 2014, in Palm Desert, Calif., took place just as the rest of the country was being introduced to a new weather term: Polar vortex. The frigid cold, which was accompanied by heavy snow in some cities, took its toll on flights, with more than 12,000 cancellations occurring in the days leading up to the conference, stranding many would-be conference goers.
