Safety Train Brings Real-World Rail Training to First Responders | Pittsburgh News

from Pittsburgh News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Norfolk Southern’s Safety Train rolled into Pittsburgh this week, bringing hands-on railroad emergency training to first responders across 22 states. Designed to prep firefighters and medics for real-world rail incidents, the Operation Awareness and Response program—active since 2015—aims to train 17,000+ responders this year. Inspired by the East Palestine derailment’s impact on Western Pennsylvania, the initiative has already trained over 5,800 responders last year and continues expanding to ensure communities are ready when seconds count.
