JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Association of
American Railroads (AAR) today presented its top award for environmental
professionals, the 2009 North American Environmental Employee Excellence
Award, to Paul J. Kurzanski, manager of environmental remediation at CSX

Kurzanski was one of six railroad industry individuals nominated. This is the
fifth time in the last seven years that a CSXT employee has been honored with
the AAR's Environmental Employee Excellence Award.

Kurzanski received the award during an annual railroad environmental
conference. A 30-year railroad veteran, Kurzanski's accomplishments include
the successful management of approximately 125 environmental remediation
