AAR hands out annual Harriman, Hammond awards

Chalk up another E.H. Harriman Group A gold award for Norfolk Southern Railway, which now has attained the rail industry’s highest safety honor for 22-straight years. Yesterday, the Association of American Railroads (AAR) named E.H. Harriman Award winners and proclaimed 2010 as the safest year ever for railroads, based on significant reductions in train accidents and employee casualties.
