recognized 54 companies with its distinguished Pinnacle Award for
their commitment to safely transport chemical products. The annual

"Union Pacific's Pinnacle Award commends customers dedicated to
safety excellence, ensuring chemical shipments arrive to their
destinations in the safest manner," said Kenny Rocker, vice president and general manager
