CSX receives Maryland Green Registry award

CSX Corporation has received the Maryland Green Registry's 2011 Leadership Award for its commitment to improvements and achievements in environmental stewardship. The Maryland Green Registry is a voluntary initiative designed to share best practices in environmental leadership among companies dedicated to improving their environmental footprints in the state. The award specifically highlights CSX's deployment of ultra-low emission GenSet locomotives around its network, including the company's Curtis Bay Yard in Baltimore, Md. That GenSet, the 21st acquired by CSX, is the first of two to be deployed in Maryland and represents public-private partnership between CSX, the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Mid-Atlantic Regional Air Management Association. "We appreciate the Maryland Green Registry recognizing our dedication to improving air quality and the company's overall commitment to environmental sustainability in the State of Maryland," said Carl Gerhardstein, assistant vice president, environmental systems and sustainability, CSX.
