  • You've seen our railroad through Mobile LiDAR mapping. Now, see it from above! Using LiDAR-equipped drones, our teams collect millions of data points that help create highly detailed 3D maps of the railroad. The data is collected using LiDAR drones and mobile vehicles across our network. This technology gives our railroaders a clearer view of the network, so they can plan better, work smarter, and operate more safely. Our teams use it for: 🚂 Planning Engineering design, construction projects, and infrastructure assessments. 🛤️ Maintenance Monitoring track conditions, structures, clearances, and other assets. 🌳 Vegetation Management Identifying areas along the right-of-way where vegetation management or SkyTrim maintenance may be needed to support safe rail operations. 🚨 Emergency Response Providing detailed mapping that can support recovery efforts and severe weather assessments. Behind every point cloud, map and digital model is a team of Norfolk Southern railroaders transforming data into tools that help maintain, improve and operate our railroad. Seen here is Brosnan Yard in Macon, Georgia.

  • Rail safety starts one conversation at a time. This week, more than 70 Team NS volunteers joined Operation Lifesaver and our fellow railroaders for rail crossing safety blitzes in Atlanta, Birmingham, Chicago, Cleveland and Pittsburgh. Together, we shared rail safety information with drivers to reinforce a simple but important message: safe choices at crossings and around trains and tracks can save lives. Whether it's a daily commute or heading out on a road trip, a few extra seconds can make all the difference. Thank you to every volunteer who helped share this important message during Rail Safety Week! Always remember: See Tracks? Think Train! Learn more at https://bit.ly/4hfsqnx.

  • One simple message. 10 years of making a difference. Today, #TeamNS joined Operation Lifesaver, Inc. at the NYSE as they rang the Opening Bell® in recognition of the 10th annual #SeeTracksThinkTrainWeek. For a decade, this nationwide campaign has shared a simple, lifesaving message: stay alert and make safe choices around tracks and trains. At Norfolk Southern, our commitment to safety starts with how we operate and extends into the communities we serve. We recorded our best accident rate in more than a decade, and we’re proud to partner with Operation Lifesaver to increase rail safety awareness all year long. Thank you to Randal Noe, William Miller, MBA, and Ernest Leon Jackson, Jr. for representing NS alongside rail safety leaders and partners.

  • For Britt Morrell, railroading is more than a career. It's part of her family's story spanning six generations. Today, as Group Manager of Intermodal Customer Logistics, Britt helps connect customers with our intermodal services. Her team works closely with customers and operating teams to communicate updates, resolve issues and help keep shipments moving efficiently. While her family's railroad roots run deep, stretching back more than 100 years, Britt has built a path all her own in the industry. Along the way, she's carried forward lessons passed down through generations: understand the problem, be part of the solution and never lose sight of the people behind the work.

  • Every harvest season, America's farmers, grain handlers, processors, exporters, and food producers count on our railroad to help move the nation's crops. 🌾🚂🌾 Before the combines roll, Team NS is already prepared. From moving fertilizer and farm equipment to helping deliver corn, soybeans, and wheat, we support the full growing cycle and connect farmers to manufacturers, export markets, and tables across America. From engineers and conductors to mechanical, engineering, operations, agricultural, and customer logistics teams, it takes thousands of railroaders working together to move America's harvest across our network. Getting our network prepared is a year-round effort. We've expanded grain capacity, increased locomotive availability, hired and trained new conductors, and steadily improved performance through the summer months. And when the fields are ready, so are we. 🔗 See how Team NS keeps America's crops rolling at https://bit.ly/4jfflfk.

    During #SeeTracksThinkTrain Week, we're reminded that safety starts with people. Every safe choice helps protect employees, communities and the public. That's one reason America's railroads achieved record safety performance in 2025, thanks to years of investment, innovation and continuous improvement. Read how Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern are building on that progress and why our commitment to safety never stops.

  • This is your rail safety briefing, straight from NSPD K9 Thorr at Inman Yard in Atlanta. 🚂 🐾 It’s Operation Lifesaver, Inc.’s #SeeTracksThinkTrain Week and Team NS wants to remind you: staying safe around trains and tracks is just as important for you as it is for us.
