Norfolk Southern

Our railroaders keep us rolling and the economy moving, 24/7, 365. #TeamNS 🚂 📍 7 Mile Yard, Charleston, SC

Happy rails and best of luck in retirement to Norfolk Southern locomotive engineer Todd Treaster. Todd, currently an engineer on the HI10 Altoona to Hollidaysburg, began his career as a railroader with Conrail on August 3, 1994. When asked what he loved most about the railroad and what he will miss the most about the railroad, his answer was the same – running trains. Todd is not only a husband, father, grandfather, and railroader but he is also a model railroader who has a large N-Scale layout at his home. You can see a little bit of it in the photo but it spans several rooms and is impossible to capture in just one shot. In addition to having model railroading as a hobby, in his free time, he will be doing more woodworking and spending time with his granddaughter. He offered this advice for the next generation of railroaders, “railroading is a rewarding career,” he said. ‘Learn everything you can about the job and in the end, you will find it will be the best thing you have ever done.” Thank you, Todd, for the decades that you have dedicated to our railroad. You are appreciated. #RepTheBred

Thanks to the dedication and hard work of our railroaders, the Keystone Division has made significant improvements in safety, service, and performance. 👏 Spanning across Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, parts of Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia, the Keystone Division has achieved across-the-board gains so far in 2024, including: 🦺 Maintaining longstanding injury free records in Keystone’s local districts, including Lake Erie District (11 years), Buffalo Line District (10 years), Mingo Junction (4 years), and Crestline District (over 1,000 days). 🚂 Origin performance stands at 81%, reflecting the on-time departure of scheduled trains from their originating terminal. 🛤️ The division’s AAR Dwell time average is at 21.0 hours, which is at goal while train speed is at 24.11. 📊 Connection performance, which measures arrivals and departures of the right car on the right train on the right date, is at 89%. Our Transportation, Mechanical, Engineering, and Dispatch teams are enhancing cohesion and achieving even more, together. 🔗 Learn more at https://lnkd.in/eX9Bcw3z.

Team NS is always innovating and making operational improvements across our network. 🚂 Superintendent of Mechanical Operations Joe Wick had an idea to increase efficiency at Conway Terminal in Pennsylvania. By repurposing under-utilized tracks, the team could streamline our repair process and get bad order cars back into service faster. (In case you didn't know, a “bad order" is when a car inspector finds a car that needs to be repaired before it can leave the facility.) Our Transportation, Mechanical, and Engineering teams came together to turn Joe's vision into a reality! The results? ✅ Reduced dwell time ✅ Improved cycle time by 30 percent ✅ Increased shop throughput for car repairs At NS, we're working every day to provide even better, safer, and more reliable service for our customers.

We love to see the impact of our Safety First and Thriving Communities grants in communities across our 22-state network. In Cleveland, Tennessee, grant recipient CITY FIELDS is empowering residents with career and job-readiness training for individuals facing barriers to employment. With their grant, City Fields was able to provide three scholarships for their welding bootcamp, allowing students to earn an American Welding Society (AWS) certification through their workforce development training program. 🔗 Learn more at https://lnkd.in/eXMxPvjB.
