"Jalene is very well known and well-connected among railroaders," said Mark Snailham, vice president of Rail Services for Balfour Beatty Rail. "She's worn many hats and knows what it takes to advance a business and our industry. We look forward to having her apply her extensive knowledge and expertise on behalf of both Balfour Beatty Rail and our clients."
