RailPlan Intl’s MARC Mechanical Services Team was presented the RPI Award for Safety Excellence in recognition of its outstanding safety performance and maintaining an injury-free workplace for more than one year.
In December, RailPlan’s North Carolina Mechanical Team, including mechanics, QMPs, QPs and DSLE trainers that provide heavy and light rail maintenance on Piedmont Service trains, celebrated its one-year safety milestone with recognition by RPI and the North Carolina Department of Transportation, Currently, the RPI Raleigh team has over 500 days injury free.
“Safety is our number one focus; not only in all of our Mechanical Services shops, yards, warehouses and onboard trains, but in each and every function that RailPlan provides,” said Terry B. Soesbee, president. “From providing facility management, locomotive inspection and testing for railroads and transportation agencies, to the engineering and manufacturing of modular systems, specialty products or complete railcar interiors, a culture of safety is ingrained in what we do and how we do it every day.”
Soesbee and RPI leadership joined MTA Maryland’s Erich Kolig, chief mechanical officer, MARC Train Service, and Jeffrey R. Gaffney, site general manager, MARC Operations and Maintenance and Sean D. McCarty, manager of purchasing, MARC O&M from Bombardier Transportation to honor the RailPlan team and celebrate the safety milestone at the Martin’s Mechanical facility where he presented MTA Maryland, Bombardier Transportation and RPI Employees with recognition of the safety achievement.
