Last month, BNSF Railway Co. presented Short-Line Achievement Awards to three railroads.
The winners were the Kansas and Oklahoma Railroad (which is owned by The Watco Cos. Inc.), Otter Tail Valley Railroad (owned by RailAmerica Inc.) and Portland & Western Railroad (owned by Genesee & Wyoming Inc.).
"These awards recognize the resourcefulness and achievements of three short lines that have gone beyond our expectations through innovation, determination and hard work to build new business for our railroads and new service products for our shared customers," said BNSF Vice President of Network Development Pete Rickershauser in a prepared statement.
BNSF interchanges with 200 short lines, regionals and switching carriers. Through August, BNSF shipments that originated or terminated on short lines accounted for about 18.5 percent of the Class I's 2007 revenue.
