The Blue Ridge Division Steel Gang is a tight knit, six‑person crew that works on critical infrastructure to support safe operations across our network: bit.ly/3OwelXh This year, the gang reached a major safety milestone: 23 years without an injury. 🦺
Much of the work that keeps our railroad running happens out of sight, beneath bridges, inside structures, and in remote locations that customers and communities depend on every day. 

The Blue Ridge Division Steel Gang is a tight knit, six‑person crew that works on critical infrastructure to support safe operations across our network.

The steel gang brings together a range of backgrounds and tenure levels, including two generations of railroaders working side by side. 

Together, they maintain and rebuild vital steel infrastructure, including bridges, bearings, ship loaders, structural steel, and foundational assets. 

Much of the work takes place far from terminals and main lines and requires innovative fabrication, welding, and real‑time problem solving in the field. Conditions often change, and the team must adapt quickly while maintaining strict safety and quality standards.

#NorfolkSouthern and #UnionPacific have taken the first step toward building America's transcontinental railroad: bit.ly/4j6wOog This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build a stronger, more competitive American rail network—connecting 50,000 route miles across 43 states and 100 ports.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT:  
The STB has 30 days to review the application to determine whether the application is complete or request additional information. The full regulatory review process will be in multiple phases and the goal is to complete the transaction by early 2027.  

Until the STB completes its review and the merger closes, NS and UP remain separate companies.  

As this process moves forward, we’ll continue to share updates along the way. 
And every day, Team NS remains focused on what we do best: moving freight safely, reliably, and efficiently for our customers, our communities, and the industries that keep America running strong.
