Safety Drives Us Forward

We strive to be the best at safety — using tech, training and outreach to build a safer rail network for all.

Committed to Communities, Employees and Customers

Protecting the Communities We Serve

We collaborate with government partners to improve rail crossing safety, reduce risky behavior and manage hazardous materials responsibly, while also promoting environmental stewardship and sharing critical rail safety guidance. 

Empowering Employees to Go Home Safe

We’re ingraining an effective safety culture across all elements of our operations to protect our workforce and our communities.

Safeguarding Your Shipments

We’ve taken aggressive steps to safeguard cargo, including strengthening infrastructure and deploying technology to monitor our tracks and yards.  Since January 2023, we have invested $40 million in security barriers and technology.

A Breakthrough Year in Rail Safety

Our focus on injury prevention, technology, situational awareness and peer engagement is delivering results on our journey to becoming the safest railroad.
