NS grabs 20th consecutive Harriman Award

For the 20th year in a row, Norfolk Southern has won the 2008 E.H. Harriman Gold Award for Group A, recognized for the best employee safety record among line-haul railroads whose employees worked 15 million employee-hours or more each year. Within Group B, comprised of line-haul railroads whose employees worked four-to-15 million employee-hours annually, the gold went to Kansas City Southern Railway, KCS's third year in a row. Among Group C participants, railroads whose employees worked less than four million employee-hours during the award period, the gold award went to the Willamette & Pacific Railroad. In Group S&T, for switching and terminal companies, the Terminal Railroad Association of St. Louis took the award for gold for the second consecutive year.
