Congratulations to RDC and its management team on its 15th anniversary in the Railroad business. Achieving your milestone took a good idea and a substantial amount of perseverance by some hard working managers. As steward of Iowa Interstate Railroad, I can assure you that there is a team of professionals here in Iowa and Illinois working very hard to shine as one of the brighter stars in your investment portfolio. To be associated with a strong and viable company such as RDC at a recessionary time where companies not so well managed are mired and awash in the wreckage of failure and despair is a highlight of my career. Good luck and good fortune in all of your future endeavors.

Jon R. Roy, President & CEO

As one who has worked with the good people at RDC here in the U.S. at the "Flagship" and overseas, it has been a pleasure to see that all of the railroads are still in operation around the world and gaining momentum at a time when others have fallen by wayside. This can only be attributed to a wealth of industry knowledge and the common sense required to make it happen. RDC employees have both, and I continue to be proud of my association with all. Congratulations on 15 years of success and may the journey continue.

Dennis H. Miller, Vice President
