It was a very exciting week at our Eugene, OR manufacturing facility! Earlier this week, we had the pleasure of welcoming some very special guests including distinguished members of Association of American Railroads (AAR), The Railway Engineering-Maintenance Suppliers Association (REMSA),GoRail and representatives from Oregon rail manufacturers to honor Congressman Peter DeFazio

“Congressman Peter DeFazio has long been a strong advocate of the rail industry, the State of Oregon and especially, Lane County,” added John Murray, Vice President of WVCO. “Willamette Valley Company is honored to host this award presentation.”

Congressman DeFazio, a ranking member of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, was recognized at this event for his support and leadership on issues affecting both freight and passenger railroads. The Railway Engineering-Maintenance Suppliers Association (REMSA), which represents WVCO, as well as eight other Oregon rail manufacturers, coordinated the event.
