The American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association (ASLRRA) again honored the Belt as a Jake railroad.

The Jake designation recognizes the Belt for its safe performance last year. The Belt was also named a Jake railroad last fall for its performance in 2016. 

According to the ASLRRA, it recognizes those railroads that have outstanding safety records and safety programs with the Jake Award. The Jake recognizes outstanding safety achievements using statistical data from the FRA.
