I am Dalonno C. Johnson, a Railroad Safety Professional and Railroad Operations Executive with a strong background in railroad transportation, industrial safety, emergency management, labor relations, and regulatory compliance. My career has been built on a commitment to operational excellence, workplace safety, leadership, and continuous professional growth.

My journey in the railroad industry began as a Certified Railroad Conductor with SOO Line Railroad, where I served from 2011 to 2022. During this time, I gained extensive experience in railroad operations, transportation safety, crew management, train logistics, and compliance with federal railroad regulations. Working in this demanding environment strengthened my ability to make sound decisions under pressure while maintaining the highest standards of safety and efficiency.

Building on this operational experience, I advanced into a leadership role as a Railroad Operations Manager with Alpha Onyx Transportation. In this position, I focus on improving operational performance, enhancing workplace safety, supporting regulatory compliance, and leading teams to achieve organizational goals. I believe that effective leadership combines accountability, communication, and a proactive approach to solving operational challenges.

Education has always been an important part of my professional development. I earned a Bachelor of Business Administration with a concentration in Finance in 2006, providing a strong foundation in business strategy and financial management. In 2020, I graduated with honors from Johnson County Community College with a degree in Railroad Operations, further strengthening my technical knowledge of the railroad industry. Continuing my commitment to lifelong learning, I graduated Magna Cum Laude from American Public University in 2026 with a Bachelor's Degree in Emergency and Disaster Management, expanding my expertise in emergency preparedness, disaster response, risk management, and organizational resilience.

In addition to my academic achievements, I hold several professional certifications that support my commitment to workplace safety and regulatory excellence. These include a 30-Hour Safety Certification and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Inspector Certification. My professional expertise includes industrial safety management, environmental compliance, federal inspection procedures, emergency preparedness, labor relations, workforce negotiations, and transportation industry regulations.
