2012 Rail Trends - Railway Association of Canada

We dedicate this issue of Rail Trends to the memory of
Clifford J. Mackay, President and Chief Executive Officer
of the Railway Association of Canada, who passed away
in January 2012. Cliff spent more than five years at
the helm of the RAC, where he worked collaboratively
with various government and regulatory agencies to
improve safety in the industry. A staunch advocate
of freight and passenger rail, Cliff spent the twilight
of his career ensuring Canadian regulatory agencies,
as well as elected and non-elected officials, gained
a better understanding of the strategic economic role
railways play in Canada. His decades of experience
and contributions improved the rail sector and Canada’s
transportation industry as a whole. Moreover, he
believed this work is good for business, the environment
and our great country’s future.
