This sounds like Amazing, fuel economy!
Davis, a 24-year veteran of the railroad, played an integral role in CSX’s record-breaking fuel efficiency gains. Through his efforts in 2019, CSX established a fuel conservation desk to monitor and alert train crews fuel performance, installed remote monitoring hardware on locomotives to detect fuel waste, and expanded the use of Trip Optimizer, a cruise control-like tool that helps locomotives automatically adjust to the most fuel-efficient driving plan.

These initiatives helped drive the company’s fuel consumption to under one gallon of fuel per 1,000 gross ton-miles and cut greenhouse gas emissions intensity by 8.1%.

“We are proud of this recognition from the AAR that highlights CSX’s focus on reducing emissions through improved fuel efficiency. Corey and his team have been instrumental in making CSX the most fuel-efficient Class 1 railroad in the United States,” said Jamie Boychuk, executive vice president of Operations.
