The final results of the cumulative index rating came out about the fifteenth of January. North Platte finished in first place with a cumulative index of 1.86. Fort Worth finished a very, very close second with a cumulative index of 2.04. This is a record to be proud of indeed.

It took outstanding effort from all of the employees on the service unit to achieve this position. Our people were very impressive with the different safety concerns and solutions offered throughout the year. Congratulations!

Nineteen ninety-seven promises to be another year with new and different challenges every day. Therefore it becomes even more imperative that we not only continue our safe practices, but strive harder still to develop ourselves to the fullest.

The ongoing UP-SP merger allows us to welcome new (to us) employees to our service unit. Let's all welcome them and all work together as safely as can be. Together we can be the safest and the best. Safety is our Responsibility.

Charles is a manager of operating practices at Fort Worth.
