THE WOODLANDS, Texas, April 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Bourque Logistics, the leader in industrial logistics systems for more than 29 years, is proud to announce Brian Jeffrey has joined our railyard systems team. Brian will work with Ray Gordy and his YardMaster® systems group as YardMaster® continues to be implemented by shippers and short line railroads alike. Many short lines have discovered YardMaster® functions address many of their requirements, including switching, inspection, and EDI communication with rail shippers.

Throughout his career at RMI, recently acquired by GE Transportation, Brian focused on short line railyard systems implementation and supervised dozens of short line systems deployments. Brian's deep knowledge of short line operations will contribute to a systems strategy of Bourque and its AEI technology partner, Industrial Networks, to support growing coordination between shippers and short line railroads through its YardMaster® Solution.
"Brian's proven rail industry experience will expand our team's capabilities to address short line and shipper operational integration," said Steve Bourque, president of Bourque Logistics. "His knowledge will be critical as we address our clients' requirements for common switching, trans-loading, and operational trends experienced by both shippers and railroads."
"The key to our clients' success is our continued support for their evolving requirements," said Ray Gordy, YardMaster® product manager. "Brian is a welcome addition to our team as YardMaster® deployments continue to increase due to our clients' railyard automation requirements."
