And the winners are ... 64 chemical shippers. That's how many shippers that will receive CSX Transportation's Chemical Safety Excellence Awards (CSEA) for 2007 at a ceremony to be held today in Atlanta.  The awards recognize chemical shippers' commitment to rail-car maintenance and safety, and continuous safe tank-car loading efforts.

To be eligible for a CSEA, a company must ship 600 or more cars per year on CSXT and have no non-accidental chemical releases during the calendar year.

The 64 '07 recipients — which include companies serving the chemical, fertilizer, agriculture and metals, and merchandise commodity markets — surpass 2006's 62 winners and 2005's 50 winners.
