Bluewing Midstream Receives Union Pacific Railroad 2024 Chemical Transportation Safety Pinnacle Award

Bluewing Midstream is proud to announce that we have been awarded the Union Pacific Railroad 2024 Chemical Transportation Safety Pinnacle Award. This prestigious award is presented to companies that demonstrate the highest standards of safety in rail transportation, specifically those achieving zero non-accident releases of hazardous materials during the transit of tank cars.

A Commitment to Safety

At Bluewing, safety is not just a standard — it’s at the heart of everything we do. Every tank car movement, every inspection, and every operation is guided by our commitment to doing things the right way. Achieving this award demonstrates the effectiveness of that approach and the dedication of our entire team.

As our Rail Logistics Manager, Stephanie Aschbacher, said:

"I’m incredibly proud of our team. Achieving zero non-accident releases isn’t luck, it’s the result of careful planning, discipline, and accountability at every step of the process”

The Team Behind the Recognition

Our operations staff live out our pillars every day, and safety is at the forefront. From supervisors overseeing safe loading and unloading, to the crews managing railcar movements around the clock, every individual’s work is essential.

This recognition also reflects the culture we’ve built at Bluewing. By treating safety as a shared responsibility and a guiding principle, our team exceeds expectations and sets the standard for how Bluewing serves its customers.

What This Means for Our Customers

For Bluewing’s customers, safety translates directly into reliability. Zero non-accident releases means fewer disruptions, more predictable supply chains, and confidence that critical products are being handled with the highest standards of care.

By maintaining rigorous safety practices, we help customers reduce risk, protect their own reputations, and move product efficiently across South Texas, Mexico, and global markets.

Our Thanks & Looking Ahead

We want to extend our thanks to our incredible employees and all our partners who work with us every day to ensure safe and compliant operations. It’s a team effort that makes zero non-accident releases possible.

Though this award celebrates what we’ve accomplished so far, it also serves as motivation. We remain committed to continuous improvement, always looking for ways to raise the bar in safety and service in the years ahead.
