About one thousand conductors and engineers who work for Norfolk Southern will soon be able to report safety concerns anonymously without fear of discipline. Norfolk Southern is the first of six major freight railroads to follow thru on a promise made after last year’s fiery derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, to join the Federal Railroad Administration’s Program. Experts say programs like the one overseen by the Federal Railroad Administration are very important in those industries where there is a long history of workers being fired for reporting safety violations.
