On January 14th-16th, ASW attended the MARS 2025 Winter Meeting at the lovely Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center Hotel. Twice a year, the Midwest Association of Rail Shippers (MARS) holds an open forum where companies involved in rail transportation convene. Over 980 people attended the event. MARS is one of five regional associations that make up the North American Association of Rail Shippers (NARS).

In March, we will attend the Southwest Association of Rail Shippers (SWARS) Annual Meeting in Dallas.
