Running a Railroad Right and It Gets in your Blood

Mr. Earl Currie is railroad management consultant with 34 years of experience. Prior to his current position he was employed by the Burlington Northern, Burlington, and Great Northern and other U.S. railroads. With this background in railroad management he has taken the time to author two books about his experiences.

The first is Running a Railroad Right offers his view on today's best practices in leadership, and in managing safety and service delivery. It also contains some ideas on operating methods, plans and leadership capability that will be needed in the future. Jerry R. Davis, President of Union Pacific, has written a "foreword" to this book.

His second book It Gets in your Blood is a combination of experiences, values and job knowledge that he acquired during his career. These experiences are summarized into several sections of "Lessons Learned" while advancing "through the chairs" of mergers, deregulation, and management changes. This book relates a personal view of a dynamic business environment.

Railroad and management people at all levels of responsibility should enjoy and relate to the experiences and ideas brought out in his work. They are typical of the situations most railroad people have experienced, and enjoy talking over with others. This material could be used for leadership training and skill development for operating officers, and as case studies for training in how to work through different kinds of operating situations.

Both books are printed on 8 ½ x 11-inch paper, in 16-point type.

Both books are available from Currie Consulting Services in soft cover for $55.00 and hardbound for $75.00 plus shipping of $5.00. Fill out the printable Currie order form and make payment by check or money order payable to Currie Consulting Services.
