His background includes experience in railcar manufacturing, power generation and Department of Transportation infrastructure. Campbell holds ASNT Level IIIs in radiographic testing (RT), ultrasonic testing (UT), penetrant testing (PT), magnetic particle testing (MT) and visual testing (VT).

He has worked with Baker Inspection Services and American Railcar Industries and was a rail maintenance specialist with LyondellBasell. Rugh most recently worked for EMS Management Houston.

Ankeny has been in the rail industry since 2007. He has held a number of positions, including cleaning/valve supervisor, QA manager, customer service manager, plant manager and regional general manager.

Shirley has a degree in civil engineering and 27 years of rail experience. He has been a warehouse supervisor, a purchasing assistant/national contract assistant, AAR billing clerk, AAR billing coordinator and system support assistant.

“Conventional wisdom told us to hunker down for the time being,” Wilson said. “But that wouldn’t be in keeping with our company mission. We owe it to our customers to be the most knowledgeable experts in the industry. Dave, Ed, Jason and Michael are surely that.”
