A Brief Recap of the BNSF Night Reception
The event was a great opportunity to meet and greet other rail professionals
TGB Group recently sponsored the BNSF Night reception during a North American Maintenance Railway Club (NAMRC) conference.
Rail industry suppliers and vendors were on hand to welcome Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway employees from numerous departments related to maintaining the railroad. The event was held at the Worthington Renaissance Fort Worth Hotel on May 24, 2023.
Professional development at BNSF Night
BNSF Night and other similar events are important for companies and professionals who work in the rail industry. In Fort Worth, we were able to renew old friendships, network with new contacts, meet a few vendors and get to know some of the BNSF employees in attendance.
Members of our team often take advantage of special events where others in the railroad and engineering fields gather to learn about new developments and share helpful information that applies in real time to our work. BNSF Night was a great experience, thanks in part to the NAMRC.
About the North American Maintenance Railway Club
The North American Maintenance Railway Club is made up of railroad maintenance professionals and personnel in the supplier industry within the United States. The goal of the NAMRC is to provide a forum for education and camaraderie in an industry that’s constantly evolving from its colorful past and moving into a very promising future.
The club has evolved with the industry. In 2013, its name was changed to the North American Maintenance Railway Club, which better reflected its diverse membership and geographic expansion throughout the U.S.
Today, the NAMRC hosts about eight meetings throughout the year for organizations such as BNSF, Canadian Pacific, Canadian National, Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern CSX.
Membership is higher than at any time in the last 25 years. Attendance at meetings, such as BNSF Night in Fort Worth, continues to grow as the club brings increased value to railway industry professionals.
