James Francis Mullervy, 75, of Severna Park, MD, a longtime employee of Westinghouse Electric’s Transportation Division and its successor companies, died Sept. 28.

Mullervy began his career with Westinghouse in Boston and later served as marketing manager for the company’s Transportation Division in Washington. He also managed the company’s government affairs efforts. At the time of his retirement in the 1990s, the firm was known as Adtranz; today it is part of Bombardier.

“He was very effective at both [marketing and government affairs] tasks and helped Westinghouse become a powerhouse in the rapid transit field,” said Terry Sanders, a retired Westinghouse colleague. “He was a wonderful and humorous gentleman and we had many great/fun times together.”

One of Mullervy’s major projects was the marketing, sale, and delivery of several major car fleets to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority.  He also represented Westinghouse on the United States Taiwan Transit Group, a joint industry initiative to market U.S. transit products in Taiwan.

He was a past member of the APTA Legislative Committee and the Passenger Transportation Committee of the former Railway Progress Institute, which later merged into the Railway Supply Institute.
