“Akanksha Bode is paving the way for others in an industry where 15% of the transportation workforce, and 5.5% of the company’s current workforce, is female. Akanksha has the responsibility of dispatching over 70 trains, at any given time, across parts of Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. She navigates the daily challenges and embraces cross-departmental collaboration with ease.” — Polly Harris, Union Pacific Railroad
