The GERALD MILLER AWARD is awarded annually to the Northern Plains Railroad Maintenance of Way or Complete Track Works employee who demonstrates a commitment to safety, quality workmanship, innovation, and like Gerald did, goes above and beyond the call of duty ensuring that NPR’s customers are served despite the weather, track conditions, or challenges.
This award honors the memory of Gerald Miller, whose service and dedication to the Maintenance of Way department of Northern Plains Railroad from its inception was respected and appreciated by all.
This past summer, Northern Plains Railroad had the privilege of working with the Short Line Safety Institute who visited the property and conducted an assessment of our safety culture.
