In this video interview, we sit down with Jeremy Erickson, COO of Messiah Locomotive Services and RSI Board Member, to get some insight into his world. Jeremy shares how his company makes the most of tradeshow events, using them to build connections that drive their business forward.

He also talks about the benefits of bringing the passenger and freight sides of the industry together.
