Dear RSI members andfriends, Our membership struggledthrough an extremely diffi-cult economy during 2009,while at the same timeinvesting in new technolo-gies which show greatpromise in the future. Leg-islative rail issues includingResponsible Regulation,High Speed Rail, PositiveTrain Control, and othershave become hot topics inAmerica at all levels of gov-ernment. The Railway Sup-ply Institute plays an impor-tant role at the federal andstate level supporting ourmembers as these topics aredebated and funded –whether it is moving goodsor moving people.

I am privileged to beChairman of the RSI Gov-erning Board this year andgratified to see the organi-zation continue to mature,grow, and better serve itsmembership.

An important aspect ofRSI’s charter is to representour industry in Washington,D.C. We have a staff withmore than 30 years experi-ence in Washington andcontacts inside the Beltwayto prove it. We are alsofortunate to have formerCongressman Bob Clement(D-Tenn.) on our team. Bobserved for eight years onthe House Transportationand Infrastructure Commit-tee and has close ties to theHouse leadership. Thoseconnections enabled us tomeet with senior membersof Congress and seniormembers of the Administra-tion. I was fortunate to be

included in a meeting withDOT Secretary Ray LaHoodwhere we delivered our RSImessage on the needs ofthe railway supply industry.

RSI’s Global Railway Tech2009, with more than 1,200railroaders and suppliersattending the CoordinatedMechanical Associationtechnical sessions and theRSI trade show, was themost successful “off year”ever, and the busiest, mostproductive trade show floorI can remember. Now let’slook ahead to RailwayInterchange 2011, when theRSSI and REMSA trade asso-ciations will join with RSI inMinneapolis Sept. 18-21,2011. This show will be thelargest U.S. freight railwaysupply trade show in ourhistory, with indoor exhibitsat the Minneapolis Conven-tion Center and outdoorexhibits at CP’s HumboldtYard. At the same time,AREMA and CMA will holdtechnical conferences in theconvention center.

An important part of theRSI charter is maintainingand servicing our projectcommittees. Whether it’sthe ARCI, the Tank CarCommittee, or the newWashington Affairs Com-mittee, all RSI membershave access to technicalcommittees that representour mutual interests.

Early in 2009, the RSIBoard hired a marketingfirm to survey the member-ship and develop a newwebsite and logo. We con-firmed that RSI membersplace high value on accessto customers, project com-

mittees, and our Washing-ton lobbying efforts. Armedwith this information, weunveiled our new logo andnew website at the Septem-ber annual meeting.

The new logo’s trianglerepresents the three majorsegments of our industry:C&S, MOW, and mechani-cal. The tag line Support;Connection; Advocacyreminds us of our mission:support our members andour customers; connectionto our customers and toeach other; advocacy onbehalf of our industry. Thenew webpage will be thefocal point of our commu-nications; I urge you to visitwww.railway supply.org.

This 2009 annual reportrecounts some of the activi-ties RSI undertook on yourbehalf last year, as well as amembership directory list-ing all RSI members. With-out your support, RSI wouldnot be as effective as it is. Ithank you for that supportand trust.

My thanks to Tom Simp-son, Nicole Brewin, RobynLeach, and Amanda Patrickfor their energetic workand commitment at RSI. Aspecial thanks to my fellowmembers of the RSI Govern-ing Board. Their input andsupport this past year isvery much appreciated.

Sincerely,

Marshall G. Beck

Tank Car Activities

Hazardous commodities are anecessity in providing the valu-able goods and servicesdemanded by our society.And there is no safer way totransport these materials thanby rail tank cars. More than99.99% of hazardous com-modities shipped in tank carsarrive at their destinationwithout an incident. Therecord is clear that this modeof transportation out performsall others, and it is because ofthe strong commitment tosafety by the RSI Committeeon Tank Cars and rail tank carindustry.

The RSICTC has long beenproactive in working with theAAR and government regula-tory agencies to continuallydevelop safer and more securetank cars. Since 1970, theRSICTC has partnered with theAAR to fund the Railroad TankCar Safety and Research Pro-ject, this project collects dataon tank cars that have beendamaged in derailments anduses the information to incor-porate designs that enhancetank car safety.

The Committee also fundsresearch projects that aredirected toward tank car per-formance improvements. Thisresearch is often done in con-junction with the Departmentof Transportation, TransportCanada and, more recently,with the Department ofHomeland Security. In addi-tion, the RSI Committee onTank Cars has spent more than$21 million on data collectionand research, donated equip-ment for research testing, andprovided countless hours oftime in participating on indus-try committees. This has beena major commitment, but one

that has resulted in a safer andmore secure tank car to carryhazardous commodities.

The RSICTC recently joinedwith the rail tank car commu-nity to launch the AdvancedTank Car CollaborativeResearch Program. This initia-tive will define the next gener-

ation tank car to carry ultra-hazardous materials, address-ing both safety and securityenhancements. Other mem-bers of this collaborativeeffort include the AAR, Chlo-rine Institute, Fertilizer Insti-tute, American ChemistryCouncil, Department of Trans-portation, Department ofHomeland Security and Trans-port Canada. The Committeealso participates in visits toCapitol Hill to educate legisla-tors on issues that involve the

tank car industry.The RSICTC continues to

work closely with the AAR andgovernment agencies onpending regulations and pro-vided input to the interim PIHtank car rulemaking that wasreleased in 2009. The work ofthe member companies of the

RSI Committee on Tank Cars,in conjunction with the AAR,government regulatory agen-cies and chemical shippers hasbeen instrumental in achievingthe outstanding safety recordof the tank car industry.

Conferences & Events

The success of RSI depends largely on theinvolvement of its membership. RSI offersopportunities throughout the year to providefor its membership. Grassroots efforts, suchas Railroad Day on Capitol Hill, marketingevents such as Global Railway Tech, and giv-ing opportunities for our members to meetwith their customers as in the Amtrak CEOmeeting, help us to provide value to ourmembers. Below are just a few of the eventsthat RSI sponsored in 2009.

February 26, 2009: Railroad Day on Capitol Hill More than 25 RSI members attended RailroadDay on Capitol Hill in 2009. They joined hun-dreds of other railroad industry employeeson Capitol Hill to promote the rail industryand legislative issues being considered inCongress which will impact the rail and railsupply industry. More than 250 meetingswere scheduled on Capitol Hill with represen-tatives from the House and Senate.

“It is a simple answer. The healthier andmore robust the railroad industry is, themore business will be available to its suppli-ers,” replied John Kieras, Director of Railroadand Industry Relations at Union Tank CarCompany, when asked why suppliers shouldattend Railroad Day. Certainly, there is greatmomentum for rail on Capitol Hill this yearand Railroad Day was the perfect environ-

ment for a discussion on our current trans-portation policy and rail issues. Though “TheHill” can seem like a formidable place full ofconflicting ideas, Congressional Representa-tives are often happy to speak to con-stituents in the rail industry.

Across the board, those who attendedRailroad Day were pleased with their meet-ings and were fully prepared to discuss railissues in detail. Leo Ditewig, Chief Engineerat Holland Company, shared his thoughts onthe meetings he attended. “In some cases theCongress people wanted to know how manyjobs we provided to their constituents. Wediscussed how important we are to the envi-ronment (436 miles per gallon and 280 trucksoff the highway), re-regulation, and theeconomy.”

March 12, 2009: RSI Members Meet with Amtrak CEOTwenty-five RSI members took advantage ofa Meet & Greet coordinated by RSI withAmtrak President & CEO Joseph Boardman.RSI members spent time with the AmtrakPresident as Mr. Boardman as he discussedAmtrak’s short- and longterm capital plan,as well as the national passenger railroad’sgeneral plan for the economic $1.3 billionstimulus money provided through the Ameri-can Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

April 22, 2009: RSI Meets with DOT Secretary Ray LaHoodMembers of the RSI Board met with Depart-ment of Transportation (DOT) Secretary RayLaHood, urging him to keep railroads andtheir suppliers free of new regulations thatprevent development of critical new trans-portation infrastructure and technologies.RSI Board Chairman Marshall Beck of NewYork Air Brake led the contingent, joined byBob Hulick of Trinity Rail and RobertMatthews of Tangent Rail. Dave Matsudafrom the DOT Transportation Policy officeand Karen Rae from the Federal RailroadAdministration also attended.

Mr. Beck emphasized that rail capacityexpansion depends on new technologies suchas Positive Train Control (PTC), safety pro-grams like the Section 130 highway rail grade

crossing program, and a robust railway sup-ply industry. Beck noted that railroadsalready invest more of their revenues thanany other industry in new assets, turningwould-be profits into new jobs and better,safer transportation, and that railway suppli-ers are funding R&D programs to bring newequipment and technology needed by rail-roads to increase velocity and throughput.

Mr. LaHood asked the RSI members tocontinue supporting development anddeployment of high speed rail. The Secretaryalso expressed interest in a domestic passen-

ger-car manufacturing capacity and alterna-tive fuels for locomotives.

May 7, 2009: Selling to America’s RailroadsIn early 2009, Congress passed the AmericanRecovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Itprovided $9.3 billion for high speed andintercity passenger rail, which included $1.3billion for Amtrak and $8 billion for thedevelopment of high speed rail. On May 7,2009, RSI, in association with the OneRailCoalition and Women in Government Rela-tions, held a symposium with governmentand industry authorities regarding the avail-ability of stimulus money for rail. More than100 people attended the discussion.

Attendees heard from several panels,including decision makers within U.S. DOT.

Karen Rae, Deputy Administrator atFRA, highlighted the Administration’sdedication to implementing highspeed rail in America as well as theimportance of freight rail. Represen-tatives from the Class I Freight Panel(NS, CSX, UP, and BNSF) discussedtheir individual railroad’s passengerprinciples, stimulus projects, non-stimulus public-private partnershipprojects, and corridors where theymight be engaged with high speedrail. Stephen Gardner, Vice Presi-dent, Policy and Development forAmtrak, gave an overview ofAmtrak’s goals. A panel weighed cor-ridor HSR programs in California, Vir-ginia, and the Northeast.

In October 2009, FRA Administra-tor Joe Szabo announced that FRAhas received numerous applicationsfrom states and groups of states forthe development of high-speed andintercity passenger rail programs for

grant funding from ARRA. These include 45applications from 24 states totaling approxi-mately $50 billion to advance high speed railcorridor programs. FRA also received 214applications from 34 states totaling $7 billionfor corridor planning and smaller projects.FRA, citing the huge response, will announceall awards this winter with a deadline of Feb-ruary 17, 2010.

Mr. Heilig emphasized “safety at the fore-front of any strategy we choose to adopt.”Mr. Heilig spoke to a standing room-onlycrowd to discuss NS’s business strategy duringthe current economic downturn. Anticipatinga slow recovery, Mr. Heilig told the RSI-CMAmeeting “our focus needs to remain in thestrategic importance the rail industry has onour country’s future transportation needs.”He stressed the importance of working withthe public sector on public-private partner-ships, citing NS’s Heartland and Crescent Cor-ridors. Mr. Heilig outlined areas that the rail-road is moving to cut emission and fuel con-sumption including the use of green locomo-tives, ECP brakes, elimination of needlessengine idling, and replacement of older, lessfuel-efficient locomotives.

The railway supply and railroad industrycontinue to face tough economic timesthat have forced personnel cutbacksand tough financial decisions. A Demo-cratic Administration and Congress haveset a busy pace for rail and transporta-tion issues such as high speed rail andthe reauthorization of the country’s sur-face transportation bill. RSI and othersin the industry are poised to providethe leadership necessary on rail issuesfacing the Obama Administration andthe 111th Congress. In 2009, RSI leader-ship met separately with the Secretaryof the Department of TransportationRay LaHood, as well as new FRA Admin-istrator Joseph Szabo, to give a brief onthe state of the industry and to discusscurrent issues.

Due to the heightened interest inHigh Speed Rail, RSI was invited to par-ticipate in numerous FRA sponsored

events surrounding the deployment anddevelopment of HSR in the U.S. and inthe crafting of a national rail plan asmandated by the Passenger Rail Invest-ment and Improvement Act of 2008. InJuly, RSI Chairman Marshall Beck partic-ipated in a round table discussion spon-sored by House T&I Chairman Jim Ober-star (D-Minn.) and House Railroad Sub-committee Chairwoman Corrine Brown(D-Fla.). The purpose of the discussionwas to focus upon the ability of thedomestic manufacturing base torespond to HSR development projects.RSI also continues to host its yearly CEOmeeting with Amtrak where RSI mem-bers spent time with the Amtrak Presi-dent discussing the railroads short andlong term capital plan.

Continuing its work on Capitol Hill,RSI Senior Staff, along with RSI lobbyistFormer Member of Congress BobClement (D-Tenn.), met with over 50Members of Congress and their staffeducating them on the rail supplyindustry as well as advocating our leg-islative positions on key issues. In addi-tion, RSI continues its good work in D.C.

by interfacing with additional appropriateAdministration officials within FRA, FHWA,FTA, STB, PHMSA, NTSB and DHS (TSA), par-ticipating in RSAC, as well as participating inprofessional organizations such as WomenTransportation Seminar, Women in Govern-ment Relations, Transportation Table and theTransportation Research Forum. RSI also sitson the board of Operation Lifesaver, Inc.

Finally, alliances are vital in Washington,and currently RSI belongs to the OneRailCoalition which consists of RSI, Amtrak, Sur-face Transportation Policy Partnership, theAmerican Public Transportation Association,AAR, ASLRRA, National Association of Rail-road Passengers, National Railroad Construc-tion & Maintenance Association, the NaturalResources Defense Council, the States for Pas-senger Rail Coalition, and the United Trans-portation Union. The OneRail Coalitionbrings passenger and freight stakeholderstogether to educate decision makers at thefederal, state, and local levels on the benefitsof rail transport, and to promote investmentin freight and passenger rail infrastructure.

Looking ahead to 2010, RSI envisionsanother busy year where we plan to “poundthe pavement” on Capitol Hill as well as con-

tinue our annual Amtrak CEO meeting, quali-ty face time with high ranking DOT officialsand the hosting of marketing events for ourmembers.

MAJOR LEGISLATIVE INTERESTS,FIRST SESSION, 111th CONGRESS

RSI is the railway supplier voice in Washing-ton, D.C. and within the rail industry. Beloware current legislative issues that affect ourindustry. With access to decision makers inthe United States Congress and the ObamaAdministration, RSI works with regulatoryagencies, Congressional lawmakers, and staffto promote rail supply industry interests. Theassociation works tirelessly to represent itsmembership. We keep the Advocacy Sectionof our website current on these issues, soplease check out our website for more detailsand updates on this legislation.

Rail Capacity and InfrastructureFunding

H.R. 1806, the Freight Rail InfrastructureCapacity Expansion Act of 2008, would pro-vide a 25% tax credit for investments in new

rail track, intermodal facilities, rail yards,locomotives or other rail infrastructureexpansion projects. All businesses, includingrailroads, ports, shippers, and trucking com-panies, would be eligible for the credit.Examples of qualifying capacity: Expandinginvestments include adding new track toexisting right of ways; adding or extendingnew sidings or spurs to existing right of ways;constructing new intermodal or transloadfacilities; and new technology-based expan-sion, including signaling in dark territory.New locomotives would qualify only if theyincreased the total horsepower of a carrier’slocomotive fleet. Finally, all freight rail infra-structure capital expenditures would be eligi-ble for expensing treatment.

Short Line Tax Credit Extension

H.R. 1132 and S. 461 would extend the shortline tax credit through December 31, 2012.Currently this credit creates an incentive forshort line railroads to invest in track rehabili-tation by providing a tax credit of 50 centsfor every dollar the railroad spends on trackimprovements; however it was to expire onDecember 31, 2009.

High Speed Rail Earlier this year, Congress passed the Ameri-can Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) inan effort to move our nation toward eco-nomic recovery. ARRA provided $9.3 billionfor high speed and intercity passenger rail,which included $1.3 billion for Amtrak and$8 billion for the development of high speedrail. Additional funds have been approvedby the House in their version of FY 2010 DOTAppropriations with $4 billion designated forhigh speed rail and $1.5 billion for Amtrak.Finally, the House T & I Committee releasedits version of a Surface Transportation Bill,which would provide $50 billion over sixyears for high speed rail corridors. This mas-sive infusion of capital money for high speedrail provides the potential for revitalizing theU.S. manufacturing sector if it is done in thecorrect way.

FY2010 DOT Appropriations

RSI supports the following for Fiscal Year2010 Department of Transportation Appro-priation Levels:

High Speed and Intercity Passenger Rail(including $50 million for HSR R&D): $4.0 bil-lion

Amtrak: $1.84 billionRail Safety Technology Grants (Would pro-

vide Funding for PTC): $100 millionRail Line Relocation: $40 millionNational Infrastructure Investment Grants

(extension of TIGER Grants): $1.1 billion

MAJOR LEGISLATIVE INTERESTS,SECOND SESSION, 111th CONGRESS

Surface Transportation Bill(SAFETEA-LU Reauthorization)

The 2005 “Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Effi-cient Transportation Equity Act-A Legacy forUsers” (SAFETEA-LU), approved by Congressand signed by then President Bush in August2005, authorized $286.5 billion in federalinvestment for the highway, public trans-portation and highway safety programs fromfiscal years (FY) 2004-09. The law expired onSeptember 30, 2009. The House and Senatehave so far passed two extensions ofSAFETEA-LU. The second was set to expire onDecember 18, 2009.

Issues that fall under this larger bill:■ Section 130 Highway-Rail Grade Cross-

ing Safety Program■ Truck Sizes and Weight

Section 130 Highway-Rail GradeCrossing Safety Program

Since 1973 Congress has provided dedicatedfunding for states to implement safetyimprovement projects at highway-rail gradecrossings. This funding has been a part ofevery surface transportation act since 1973and, at the urging of RSI, was continued inSAFETEA-LU at $220 million per fiscal year.

The Chairman of the House T & I Commit-tee, Jim Oberstar (D-Minn.), has introducedhis version of SAFETEA-LU Reauthorizationtitled, the Surface Transportation Authoriza-tion Act of 2009. This bill would provide$500 billion in total transportation funding,with nearly $100 billion for public transporta-tion and $50 billion for high-speed rail.Unfortunately, this bill terminates the Section130 highway-rail grade crossing program$220 million set aside over two years andconsolidates the funding and its authorityinto the Highway Safety Improvement Pro-gram thereby forcing it to compete with 21other major highway safety programs for lim-ited federal safety dollars.

RSI has joined a coalition with groups suchas AAR, ASLRRA, Norfolk Southern, UnionPacific, the Brotherhood of Railroad Signal-men, and others to combat this change in theSection 130 program by supporting H.R.2125, the Surface Transportation Authoriza-tion Act. H.R. 2125 would extend the long-

standing and successful Section 130 highwayrail grade crossing program and enhance pro-ject prioritization requirements. Without abudgetary set-aside like the Section 130 pro-gram, grade crossing needs would fare poor-ly in competition with more traditional high-way needs (such as highway construction andmaintenance. If incorporated in the next sur-face transportation act (SAFETEA-LU reautho-rization), the provisions of H.R. 2125 would

RSI is a cofounder and longtimesupporter of Operation Lifesaver(OLI), the nationwide volunteerorganization dedicated to reduc-ing crashes at highway rail gradecrossings. With chapters in 49states, OLI’s look, listen, and livemessage has been a major factorin reducing the number fatalitiesassociated with highway-rail gradecrossing crashes and trespassing.OLI enjoys broad support fromCongress, the Department ofTransportation, individual states,

the railroad and railway supplyindustries, law enforcement agen-cies, the trucking industry andother highway safety organiza-tions. Operation Lifesaver and thefederal Section 130 grade crossingsimprovement program have com-bined to create educational pro-grams that have saved lives.

Since its creation is 1985, RSI mem-bers have donated their time andmore than $500,000 to OperationLifesaver.

.Truck Size & Weights

Truck size and weight limits onfederal highways have been

frozen by Congress since 1991.Under current law, trucks oper-ating on most of the U.S. Inter-state Highway System can havea gross vehicle weight of nomore than 80,000 pounds.Attempts to thaw the federalfreeze have been rejected byCongress. The freight rail-roads and the trucking indus-try agreed to oppose changesin federal law regarding trucksize and weight through Sep-tember 2009, the period whenSAFETEA-LU was in effect.

Some within the truckingindustry have indicated thatthey will seek lifting existingTruck Size & Weight limitswhen SAFETEA-LU is reauthorized.

Safe Highways andInfrastructure Preservation ActH.R. 1618 and S. 779 wouldextend the present freeze onlonger and heavier combina-tion vehicles from the Inter-state Highway System to theentire National Highway Sys-tem. H.R. 1618 was referred tothe House Committee onTransportation & Infrastructurewhere it is pending considera-tion. Its companion bill, S. 779,was referred to the SenateCommittee on Environment &Public Works where it is alsopending consideration.

Railroad AntitrustEnforcement Act

H.R. 233 and S. 146, RailroadAntitrust Enforcement Act,would repeal limited antitrustexemptions provided forfreight railroads. The billswould allow the federal gov-ernment, States and privateparties to file suit to enjoinanti-competitive mergers andacquisitions. The bills wouldalso move the review of merg-ers to the Justice Department’sAntitrust Division and to theFederal Trade Commission.

Lobbying Congress is a bigpart of what we do here atRSI. Our goal is simple: tosupport legislation that isgood for railway suppliersand their customers and tooppose legislation thatharms railway suppliers andtheir customers. That simplephilosophy governs theCapitol Hill work that TomSimpson, Nicole Brewin andI perform on a weekly basis.With the inauguration of

Barack Obama as Presidentand the swearing in ofthe 111th Congress in Janu-ary of 2009, we began anew time in Washingtonand were faced with newchallenges and new oppor-tunities. We visited morethan 40 offices rangingfrom House leadership tothe newest freshman. Wetracked legislation, includ-ing in the vitally importantHouse Transportation andInfrastructure (T&I) Com-mittee, where most rail leg-islation originates. Some of the major legisla-

tion we are following foryou, our members,includes: • rail safety• reauthorization of theSAFETEA -LU transportationbill• the Section 130 highwayrail grade crossing safetyprogram• truck sizes and weights• Amtrak funding• Surface TransportationBoard reauthorization In January 2009, Tom

Simpson was asked to testi-fy at a T&I hearing on"Freight and Passenger Rail:

Present and Future Roles,Performance, Benefits, andNeeds."Tom noted the poorstate of economic growthin the car building industryand the poor projections ofthe industry as a whole.Tom's testimony was usedby T&I Chairman Jim Ober-star as he argued on theHousefloor for passage of trans-portation stimulus legisla-tion.Of course, we don't limit

ourselves to just the T&ICommittee. There aremany committees andagencies that have a handin the success of the railsupply industry. We spendtime visiting members ofthe House Appropriationsand Ways and Means Com-mittees and the SenateAppropriation, Commerceand Environment Commit-tees. In addition, we havepaid visits to ObamaAdministration officials,including Secretary ofTransportation Ray LaHoodand Federal RailroadAdministrator JosephSzabo.As an eight-term member

of the House of Representa-tives, I recognize the valueof coalition building to thelegislative process. Whenorganizations and industrystakeholders come togetheron principles they can agreeon, members of Congresslisten more closely. I ampleased at the efforts of RSIto build long lasting coali-tions whether it's with theAssociation of American

Railroads and its Class I Rail-road members, the Ameri-can Short Line and RegionalRailroad Association and itsmembers, OneRail, Womenin Government Relations(WGR), or Women in Trans-portation (WTS).In my time with Congress,

I always kept in mind theimportance of hearingfrom constituents. RSI isundertaking a new effortto better quantify thesize and scope of the rail-way supply industry, andwhen we contact you formore detailed information,I urge you to share it withus so that we can betterrepresent you and ourindustry at large. We willalso begin a more effectivegrassroots effort. Expectupdates from RSI aboutupcoming legislation affect-ing our industry and detailsabout contacting yourCongressional representa-tives. Your phone call, let-ter, or email can make adifference, especially whenall of our members partici-pate in this active role. We, of course, won't reston our laurels in 2010, animportant year for RSImembers as Congress willconsider transportation leg-islation that will affect howyou and your customers dobusiness. Our legislativestrategy outlined abovecombined with the leader-ship of your board of direc-tors will govern our activi-ties in 2010, and RSI will bea tireless advocate on yourbehalf.

MembershipOur strength in the industry

RSI is committed to retaining and building mem-bership by bringing value to our members. Ourprograms, committee work, and advocacy inWashington, DC are key to retaining and growingour membership.

In 2009, our membership participated in a sur-vey to better gauge the needs of RSI members.This survey indicated that the RSI membershipplaces value on efforts to improve access to cus-tomers and on our Washington lobby activity. Italso reinforced the premise that we need toincrease the focus on communication within ourmembership on issues of importance. This infor-mation helped us to develop a plan which focuseson member satisfaction. In order to take RSI in anew direction, RSI hired SMS Marketing Servicesto design a more modern logo to better repre-sent our corporate identity and the changingdirection RSI is taking.

Our new website is cleaner, easier to navigate,and designed to be the main avenue of communi-cation between RSI and its membership. It alsoincludes more details on upcoming tradeshowsand marketing events, legislation that affectsyour business, and other important information.Look for frequent changes; we look forward toadding a Members Only Section in 2010.

The value that RSI brings to its membership isimportant to our existence. We continue to pro-

vide value to our over 200 members in the railsupply industry in various ways, including: releas-ing timely information in our newsletters andlegislative alerts, educational programming,trade shows and marketing events, and by creat-ing opportunities for our members to meet withelected officials and other government decisionmakers.

RSI also seeks diversity in its membership andin its officers. Like our membership, our board ofdirectors and committee chairs represent manyfacets of the rail supply industry from tank carbuilders to maintenance of way manufacturers,from large companies to small ones. With bettercommunication and outreach to customers, folkson Capitol Hill, and you, RSI continues to effec-tively address your needs and bring value to yourmembership.

Balancing the needs and interests of the vari-ous sized companies that belong to RSI is alwaysa challenge. The vast majority of our membersare smaller companies, but most dues incomecomes from the larger members.

All activities undertaken by RSI staff and com-mittees benefit the entire membership. Smallercompanies especially value trade shows and othermarketing events; larger companies value the RSICommittee activities as well.

All RSI members benefit from our Washington,
