The ASLRRA also named the three winners of its annual marketing awards, which recognize regionals' and short lines' efforts to develop new business, boost traffic with existing customers, improve service or react to changing market conditions. The North Shore Railroad Co., Springfield Terminal Railway Co. and Wisconsin & Southern Railroad received the awards.

The ASLRRA bestowed the award to Springfield Terminal Railway for providing a viable truck-competitive rail option for Maine bottled water company Poland Spring, which was using 600 trucks per day. The effort led to the railroad's first intermodal move to central Maine in a long time and a 67 percent carload increase in a year, ASLRRA officials said during the award presentation. In addition, the traffic expanded intermodal business for Springfield Terminal's owner, Pan Am Railways.
