A safer railroad, backed by results. 🚂 📊 See how #TeamNS advanced safety across our network in the 2025 Report on #Safety Accomplishments and Ongoing Initiatives: bit.ly/4qNvhGJ. We made strong progress in 2025— and we’re raising the bar again in 2026.

This work delivered meaningful year-over-year progress, including a 31% reduction in FRA reportable train accident rate – our best in over a decade – a 15% reduction in FRA reportable injury rate and 1 million man-hours injury free, powered by our nearly 20,000 railroaders working together.
