Every great achievement begins with a story. The railway industry itself is built on incredible stories—of visionaries who saw the potential of steel tracks connecting communities, of innovators who developed groundbreaking technologies, and of the dedicated workforce that keeps our trains running safely and efficiently.
On National Write Your Story Day, we celebrate the power of storytelling, not just in books, but in the experiences, challenges, and successes that define our lives and industries. At the Canadian Association of Railway Suppliers (CARS), we believe every member has a unique story to tell—whether it's about how your company was founded, the impact of your innovations, or the lessons learned through years of experience in rail.
The Story of Rail: Built on Innovation and Progress
From the laying of the first transcontinental tracks to today’s advancements in high-speed and sustainable rail solutions, the railway industry has been a driving force of progress. Behind every railcar, every piece of track, and every innovation in safety and efficiency, there’s a team of people whose hard work and dedication have shaped the industry.
Your Story Matters
Whether you're a seasoned rail professional, a young talent just starting your career, or a student eager to make your mark in the industry, your story is important. How did you get involved in rail? What challenges have you overcome? What excites you about the future of transportation?
We encourage you to share your story—with your colleagues, your community, and even with us at CARS. By sharing our experiences, we inspire the next generation, foster collaboration, and highlight the incredible work being done across Canada’s railway supply sector.

At CARS, we offer opportunities for members to tell their stories through our InsideTrack Podcast, Member Spotlights, and Industry Features. If you’d like to share your journey in rail, we’d love to hear from you!
