All R. J. Corman Short Lines Awarded for their 2023 Safety Accomplishment
Yesterday, the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association announced a record number of member railroads that qualified for a Jake Safety Award and Jake Safety Award with Distinction. Of these member railroads, we are pleased to announce that all nineteen R. J. Corman short lines are winners of Jake Awards for their above-industry average safety performance during 2023.
The Jake Awards fall into two categories; the Jake Award with Distinction is awarded to any member railroad with no FRA (Federal Railroad Administration) reportable injuries for the previous year. Whereas the Jake Award is awarded to any member railroad that finished the previous year with an FRA frequency rate less than or equal to the industry average.
Also, to recognize the lowest injury frequency rate in different per person-hour categories, the ASLRRA grants the President's Safety Award. We are honored that the R. J. Corman Railroad Company Memphis Line was distinguished with this award in the Southern Region for 150,000 to 250,000 person-hours worked.
The awards received by our short lines are a testament to the unwavering dedication and commitment of R. J. Corman team members to prioritizing safety in all work environments.
