DOUG CREECH

Senior Vice President of Leasing & Freight Car

Doug Creech has been with Progress Rail since June 1, 1993 when the company was formed as a result of the merger of Corbin Railway Service Companies & Steel Processing Services Corporation. He has served in several different management positions over the years, including within Progress Rail’s former leasing company, Railcar LTD. He is currently responsible for Progress Rail’s Freight Car Leasing Division.

Doug has spent his entire career within the railroad industry, dating back to 1984.
