A Texas short line railroad is one of the recipients of the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association's (ASLRRA) 2020 President's Safety Award.
Rio Valley Switching Company ("RVSC") is known in the region as the “Valley Railroad”, operating 55 miles from Harlingen west to Mission and Edinburg and also serves the McAllen Foreign Trade Zone. It also extends 11 miles Northwest to Santa Rosa.
The ASLRRA award will be presented "virtually" during the October 5-9 convention, held online this year because of the China Coronavirus pandemic.
