15 Years Injury Free: Safety Drives Excellence in the Los Angeles Basin

Union Pacific’s Los Angeles Basin Mechanical Team works together to keep locomotives and rail cars moving safely and efficiently. Through strong communication, employee-driven safety and a commitment to looking out for one another, the team has built a culture of operational excellence that includes a 15-year injury-free record. That performance earned the team the railroad’s Steel Wheel Award, recognizing Union Pacific’s top-performing Mechanical team for delivering the best in Safety, Service and Operational Excellence.

The Steel Wheel Award was one of 10 awards presented at Union Pacific’s second annual CEO Excellence Awards ceremony.
