ATLANTA - Norfolk Southern's Engineering team of more than 5,000 railroaders across 22 states have worked more than one million man-hours without a reportable injury.
Coming in at more than 50 days, Norfolk Southern states the team’s skill and dedication are the keys to the accomplishment. The Class I thanked each member for its commitment to safety.
VP Engineering Ed Boyle said, “This is a tremendous accomplishment. . . It means all 5,000-plus NS Engineering teammates have made it home safely at the end of the day or the end o the week. We have fought through extreme winter weather system wide, several significant and challenging derailment responses, multiple broken rails, many treacherous callouts, and more to keep our trains moving around the clock. You name it, we have been through it. Most importantly, we have protected NS safely.”
