The Association of American Railroads recently named CSX Transportation Hazardous Materials Field Services Manager Bill Gleason recipient of the Holden-Proefrock Award to honor his lifetime contributions to haz-mat safety.

"He is recognized as an expert in tank-car construction and damage assessment, and is nationally recognized as a railroad emergency response trainer," said Skip Elliott, CSXT assistant vice president of public safety and environment, in a prepared statement.
