Eric Sauer’s Post

January 2024 marked my 16-year anniversary in the railroad industry. I don’t typically dwell on the past, but a message from a friend who started this journey with me had me reminiscing on the path taken and the individuals that impacted me along the way.      Today, the operating and safety side of the railroad is unrecognizable from what it was when I started my career. There have been countless safety initiatives implemented throughout my years. From “safety minded” to “safety focused” to “sending everyone home the way they arrived” to my favorite “safety culture.” The intentions behind all of these were in line with where the industry wanted to be at the time. From my perspective, the leader behind each initiative was what made for a success or a failure, or in some cases, nothing at all.     I have been fortunate to work with many impactful leaders across the industry. The experience I’ve gained, along with the lessons and knowledge that I received from mentors and colleagues is what wrote the operating manuals for Crooked River Railroad. And we are evolving just like the industry always will be. It truly does start with having the right people in the right positions. Trusting your team to make the right decisions is easy when your team shares the same vision.     Today, we celebrate a team dedicated to making those right decisions every time…Crooked River Railroad // 3-Year Injury Free
