Today we announced a historic agreement to combine with Union Pacific Railroad to create America’s first transcontinental railroad. Together, Norfolk Southern and Union Pacific will aim to deliver faster, more comprehensive freight service by eliminating interchange delays, opening new routes, expanding intermodal services, and reducing distance and transit time on key rail corridors. This combination will seamlessly connect over 50,000 route miles across 43 states coast-to-coast— unleashing the industrial strength of American manufacturing, and creating new sources of economic growth and workforce opportunity that preserves union jobs. The combined company will aim to be the safest railroad in North America, ensuring every employee goes home safe to their families and advancing Norfolk Southern and Union Pacific’s proven technologies for further safety improvements. We are excited for what this combination can deliver all our stakeholders simultaneously, including our customers, people, communities and shareholders. 🔗 Learn more at https://lnkd.in/eeBVj7P2.

Smarter tracks. Safer trains. More reliable service. At NS, we’re combining tech and teamwork to build a safer, more efficient railroad—starting from the ground up. Our Automated Track Geometry Measurement Systems (ATGMS) use lasers and sensors mounted beneath locomotives to scan track conditions in real time. The result? Subtle defects spotted earlier, maintenance teams equipped with smarter data, and a more fluid network that delivers for our customers. Even better: it all happens while freight is in motion. This is how innovation and railroaders work together to keep America’s supply chain strong. 🔗 Learn how we’re building a safer railroad through smarter track tech at https://lnkd.in/eN4VcGt3. #RailInnovationWeek #NorfolkSouthern

Team NS + AI = A Safer Railroad 🚂 We’re combining cutting-edge technology with hands-on expertise to build a smarter, safer, and more resilient railroad. Our Digital Train Inspection (DTI) portals scan moving trains at track speed—up to 70 mph—capturing about 1,000 ultra-high-res images per railcar using 24-megapixel cameras and stadium lighting. Those images are analyzed in real time by 75+ advanced AI algorithms developed in-house by our Digital & Technology team and reviewed by experts at our Network Operations Center for fast, proactive maintenance. DTI portals turn finders into fixers, keeping freight safe, and allow our inspectors to focus on what they do best—fixing problems before they happen. During Association of American Railroads' #RailInnovationWeek, we’re proud to highlight how our Digital & Technology, Mechanical, Operations, and Network Operations Center teams are working together to turn innovation into action. 🔗 Learn more about how our DTI portals are advancing safety at https://lnkd.in/e4eG5qjh.
