Pittsburgh First Responders Train on Norfolk Southern Freight Train | Pittsburgh News

Pittsburgh first responders got real-world training aboard a Norfolk Southern freight train in the Marshall-Shadeland neighborhood, part of a three-year push to prep for potential derailments—especially after the haunting memory of the East Palestine disaster. The drill gave crews firsthand exposure to the equipment they might face, while Norfolk Southern rolled out new safety tech like upgraded hot bearing detectors and digital inspection portals to catch problems before they escalate. With plans underway to build a permanent training center in East Palestine with Youngstown State University, both company and city are doubling down on collaboration and readiness to protect communities and save lives.
