"NARBW is a great way to forge connections with women in the industry. I particularly enjoy our community service projects and the sense of camaraderie among our chapter. Whether you are brand new or a railroad lifer, there is something in it for you."

"I value my membership in the NARBW, Chicago chapter, not only because it’s a great way to maintain and enjoy camaraderie with my fellow railroad women throughout the industry; but, NARBW Chicago is always actively working to provide resources and services to support many area organizations and charities, as well as programs to support our local members and the profession of women in railway. I have maintained my membership even after retirement because NARBW gives me the opportunity to stay connected to the railroad community."
