Exciting Update: Implementing the General Code of Operating Rules (GCOR) at Squaw Creek Southern Railroad I am thrilled to announce that on 01JAN25 we are officially transitioning our short line railroad operations to the General Code of Operating Rules (GCOR)! This change marks a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to enhance safety, efficiency, and consistency across all our operations. By adopting GCOR, we are aligning with industry-leading standards that will: 1. Improve safety protocols for our team and operations. 2. Standardize procedures, creating a more cohesive environment for our workforce. 3. Ensure compliance with best practices across the rail industry. This switch is just another step toward making Squaw Creek Southern Railroad a place where safety and operational excellence go hand-in-hand. Our team is ready to embrace these new standards, and I’m confident this change will support our mission to provide top-tier service to our partners and customers. Stay tuned for more updates as we move forward with this important transition! #Railroad #GCOR #SafetyFirst #OperationalExcellence #SquawCreekSouthern #ASLRRA
