Union Tank Car Employees at Anacortes and Texas City Help BP, Bayer & Tesoro Win the BNSF Stewardship Award

Union Tank Car customers BP in Texas City, and Pasadena, Texas; Bayer in Baytown, Texas; and Tesoro in Anacortes, Washington, were recently awarded the Stewardship Trophy from the BNSF Railroad and they all send their thanks to UTC.

Ronnie Hazzard of BP - Texas City says he has Ritch Perkins, Dick Latimer and crew to thank. Gary Ragan of BP - Pasadena adds "the BNSF has over 700 customers and less than 50 were given this award. Thanks for the work of Denver Christian, Ruben Romero, Al Rodea and Red Delegarza for sending all those cars out right and tight!"

This award is given to shippers who demonstrate a commitment to Responsible Care principles and the Product Stewardship Code in the inspection, maintenance, loading and securement of hazardous materials in their tank cars. BP shipped thousands of chemical cars with no release of regulated hazardous material due to non-accidental causes.

Kerry Barnes in logistics operations at Tesoro says "We safely moved 989 loaded tanks cars in the year 2000 with no release of regulated hazardous material due to non-accident causes. This is due to the excellent support we get from Cal and his team. Your attention to detail, helpful advice, willingness to help, and can-do attitude enable us to maintain our excellent record, contribute to safeguarding the public and environment. We appreciate the service you give us every day."

Sean Ritchie of Bayer had equally impressive praise for John Campbell and crew. "UTC's mobile crew helps us present products to our customers in a way that meets our high standards for quality, on-time delivery and safety while protecting the environment and winning awards like this."
