The panel discussion is scheduled for 1:45-2:30 PM CST on Thursday, October 10. Teal will be joined by Norman Brown, Legislative Director, New York State Council of Machinists; and John Fink, VP, Sales and Marketing, Transit Group, Wabtec. The moderator is Ed Fishman, Partner – Global Regulatory, Hogan Lovells.

Here’s the abstract from the RSI website: “The RSI (in its prior incarnation as the Rail Progress Institute) was fundamental in helping write the original passenger rail “Buy America” regulations in the 1980s. But domestic preference assumes that this country has a healthy domestic supplier base. This session will explore factors influencing the health of the passenger rail supply industry in the U.S. and challenges from the perspective of various stakeholders.”
