Norfolk Southern Corp. has recognized the Delaware-Lackawanna Railroad with the Class I's "Short Line of the Year" award.

A Genesee Valley Transportation (GVT Rail) subsidiary, the Delaware-Lackawanna was recognized by NS for its "conscientious customer service and commitment to growth," according to a GVT Rail press release.

"Our partnership with the Delaware-Lackawanna Railroad has resulted in significant growth across multiple commodities and service improvements for both manifest and unit trains," said Mike Moen, NS' senior short-line development manager. "Their cooperation and efforts have contributed to a more efficient interchange and an improved service offering for our mutual customers.”

The NS award is the second time this year that the Delaware-Lackawanna has been recognized for freight-rail service. In April, the railroad received the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association's "Business Development Award" for 2019. That award recognized the railroad's "one-carload-at-a-time" growth strategy, GVT officials said.
