RTA’s Outreach to Hardwood Sawmills
2009 marks the Railway Tie Association’s 90th year in business. More importantly, this year RTA is reaching out to all hardwood crosstie sawmills to make sure that these businesses, vital to our nation’s transportation network, know just how hard RTA is working to maintain the health of railroad markets for ties. So, if you are not already an RTA member, and you’re a sawmill that currently manufactures crossties (or even if you are simply interested in what railroad markets could mean to your business) please consider doing these three things:
1. Visit our new web site www.rta.org for a host of resources, statistics, market information, and other information about the wood crosstie market.
2. Call us at 770.460.5553, or write us at ties@rta.org, and let us tell you more about what RTA is doing in the marketplace. (When you call or write we’ll send you a free gift and important industry literature.)
3. Let us help facilitate enrolling your company as a member so you can receive our bi-monthly magazine, Crossties, plus regular updates about our annual events such as the member-only Field Trip, the Tie Grading Seminar, and the Annual Conference to be held in Baltimore, MD in 2009 and Branson, MO in 2010. We can even show you how our current members may be able to sponsor your company at no cost to you for that membership for the remainder of 2009.
