A YEAR OF CELEBRATION
The 140th anniversary of our esteemed Institution presents a remarkable occasion for our members to unite, collaborate, and create a lasting impact within the railway engineering industry. This commemorative milestone isn’t just about acknowledging our legacy; it’s a call to action, an invitation for every member to actively contribute and be part of shaping our future.
As we embark on this journey, I eagerly anticipate the wealth of reminiscences, stories, and aspirations that our members will share. Each narrative holds the power to inspire, to ignite the passion for railway engineering and to showcase the transformative journey of our Institution. Your involvement is pivotal; your contributions in reminiscing and motivating new members are invaluable. Let’s spread the word, sharing the rich knowledge, camaraderie, and opportunities that our Institution, PWI, generously offers.
One significant avenue for inspiration and knowledge custodianship during this celebratory period is our ambitious initiative involving the meticulous scanning of over 140 of our historically esteemed Journals. These archives, steeped in history, innovation, and expertise, will be available through our Knowledge Hub with editions added weekly. Take a moment to immerse yourself in this treasure trove, witnessing the evolutionary path of our industry and Institution across these illustrious 140 years. It’s a testament to our continuous commitment to learning and evolving.
As we honour this milestone, let’s set our sights high. Our collective aim for this celebratory year is to welcome 140 members into the realm of Professional Registration. This goal isn’t merely a numerical achievement; it’s a testament to our dedication to advancing standards in railway engineering. Together, as we celebrate 140 years of history, let’s pave the way for an even brighter, more inspiring future for the Institution.
