Do you know a visionary woman in the rail industry? Nominate a colleague or yourself.

Railway Age presents its 2023 Women in Rail awards, where we will recognize 20 women for their achievements in the rail industry in our November issue. These outstanding women will be selected based on their leadership, vision, innovation and accomplishments. This award celebrates women leaders in rail and women trailblazers with a track record of breaking down barriers and helping to create industry opportunities for women. Entries will be judged by a panel of women rail transportation professionals.

Eligibility:
- The nominee must be located within the 50 states, Canada and/or Mexico.
- There is no limit on the number of entries each firm or person can submit (multiple nominations for one candidate do not boost chances), and there is no entry fee.

- Candidates may nominate themselves.

Judging Criteria:
- Industry experience and education
- Leadership skills
- Industry contributions
