National Railroad Construction & Maintenance Association (NRC)

The National Railroad Construction and Maintenance Association – the “NRC” – is a U.S. trade association that advances the mutual interests of railway contractors and suppliers who construct, maintain and supply railroads and rail-transit lines. Founded in 1978, the NRC connects members with other railway industry professionals and government legislators and policy makers. Together we work to create a positive business climate and to make railway construction and maintenance safer and more efficient. Although NRC members often compete against each other, our collaboration furthers the railway construction industry and benefits North American freight, transit and commuter rail lines, our member contractors and suppliers, the general public, and our own professional growth. NRC members and member companies benefit from a full range of valuable services that advance their careers and their businesses: Advocacy - The NRC works with legislators and policymakers to build a positive business climate that advances railway construction opportunities, enhances safety and protects the industry from over-regulation. Safety - Because we believe all incidents are preventable, the NRC develops and supports resources that foster a safe railway construction environment. Events - The NRC provides opportunities to connect with and learn from other railway professionals and business leaders to build your business and develop your career. Market Insights - The NRC offers access to key railway industry leaders and market data and analysis so you can make smart and informed business decisions.
