R. J. Corman Railroad Company’s Commitment to Excellence Recognized with 18 Safety Awards

The American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association (ASLRRA) 17 R.J. Corman short lines were winners of the Jake Award with Distinction for being injury-free and one Jake Award winner for their above-industry average safety performance during 2025.  

The Jake Awards are an annual recognition presented by the ASLRRA, a group that represents the entrepreneurial owners and operators of short line and regional railroads throughout North America.   

The awards fall into two categories: the Jake Award with Distinction is given to any member railroad with no FRA (Federal Railroad Administration) reportable injuries for the previous year. The Jake Award is given to any member railroad that finished the previous year with an FRA frequency rate less than or equal to the industry average.  

These achievements reflect R. J. Corman’s commitment to a safety-first work environment. 

We are extremely proud to congratulate the following short lines for winning 2025 Jake Awards!
