Our railroaders make a difference that extends beyond the freight we move. At NS, we know the service we provide our customers affects their operations, employees, and communities across our network.

For Locomotive Engineer Chris Shirley, that reality motivates him every day – and his dedication to providing outstanding service caught the attention of our customer, Scruggs Blending and Packaging, in Villa Rica, Georgia.

“We do business with dozens of vendors on a daily, real-time basis, and it is extraordinarily rare that we run across an employee of another company that shows the commitment and caring that Chris does in supporting our business,” said Tom Adams, Chief Operating Officer of Scruggs Blending and Packaging. “Literally speaking, it gives us comfort knowing Chris is on the job and cares about the outcomes that affect our business.”

Thank you, Chris, for leading by example, always going above and beyond for our customers, and inspiring us all to “be good today and better tomorrow!”
