CSX
Newly appointed President and CEO Steve Angel on Oct. 1 hosted a town hall to connect with employees across the CSX network, the Class I announced via a LinkedIn post.
“During the event, Angel shared his focus for the future and expressed his excitement for building relationships with the people who drive CSX’s success. He emphasized his enthusiasm for building on the Class I’s achievements and working together to help CSX become the best-run railroad in America,” the Class I wrote in the post.
Separately, CSX recently introduced its Badger Overland Commercial Trailer, a compact, towable mobile command unit that enables the railroad to respond quickly and safely to incidents, even in remote areas, with features like wireless connectivity, a drone base, and recharging facility.
“The Badger represents CSX’s commitment to innovation, safety, and protecting our people and operations,” the Class I wrote in a LinkedIn post.
BNSF
BNSF recently congratulated its customer Tristar Transload, Inc., via an X post, on the official opening of its Muscal Spur Terminal, a renewable fuels unloading facility in Southern California.
After nearly 20 months of construction, the facility is fully operational as of Oct. 1. BNSF will daily deliver tank cars of renewable fuels to the terminal, which has six one-million-gallon storage tanks to support long-term decarbonization goals in the state.
Since 1999, Tristar Transload, Inc., has served the West Coast, “providing strategic solutions to supply chain management,” said BNSF. As a transload company, Tristar handles the onloading and offloading between different transportation modes, such as from rail to truck and vice versa.
