Norfolk Southern Railway recently announced that 47 of its customers have earned the 2023 Thoroughbred Chemical Safety Award for safely handling products regulated as hazardous materials.

Individually, the 47 corporate chemical manufacturers and 12 plants safely transported or originated 100% of their shipments over NS' 22-state rail network without an incident in 2023.

The Chemical Safety Award recognizes safe rail-shipping practices. For more than 27 years, the railroad has recognized chemical manufacturers and plants that safely handle products that are vital to U.S. consumers and businesses, but are regulated as hazardous materials, NS officials said in a press release.

“While rail remains the safest way to transport goods over land, we will continue working with our customers to improve the safety of operations and drive our train accident rate down towards our ultimate goal of zero," said Chief Safety Officer John Fleps.
