Awards and Recognition
As of May 2010, NS has been selected as the Group A Gold Harriman Award recipient for a record 21 consecutive years beginning in 1989.
The Harriman Award is intended to recognize railroads with outstanding safety achievements. Group A comprises line-haul railroads whose employees worked 15 million employee-hours or more. Harriman winners are selected by a committee of representatives from the transportation field and are granted on the basis of the lowest casualty rates per 200,000 employee-hours worked with a formula that accounts for volume of work performed as well as the number of fatalities and occupational illnesses.
In the January 2011 issue of Railway Age, Norfolk Southern's chairman and CEO, Wick Moorman, was named Railroader of the Year.

Famous quotes containing the word recognition:
“Design in art, is a recognition of the relation between various things, various elements in the creative flux. You can’t invent a design. You recognise it, in the fourth dimension. That is, with your blood and your bones, as well as with your eyes.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
