To receive a Jake Award, railroads must outperform the Class II and III industry average injury frequency rate reported by the FRA.
Being among a recordโbreaking 371 ASLRRA member railroads to earn this highest distinction reflects the consistency, care, and teamwork of everyone at MG Rail.
As ASLRRA President Chuck Baker shared, โWhat stands out this year is that the average industry injury frequency rate has declined once again, raising the bar even higher for earning a Jake Awardโฆ Zero is remarkable!โ
