From the PG:
"If a high-tech railroad company seems like an oxymoron, Al Neupaver can understand.
""Prior to joining Wabtec as the company’s president and chief executive officer, his impression of railroads was of “an industry that’s slow and old. You know, you get upset just waiting for the train to go by at the crossing.”
But as Mr. Neupaver closes in on his first year at the helm of the Wilmerding-based rail supply company whose roots date back two centuries, he’s learned that railroad technology is very 21st century --and these days, very profitable."
