Norfolk Southern has taken a good first step, and it’s time for the other Class I railroads to back up their talk with action and make good on their promises to join this close call reporting system and keep America’s rail network safe, Pete Buttigieg, U.S. Transportation Secretary, via 'The Independent'.

Major rail companies have resisted joining the new federal reporting system, claiming their own internal reporting systems are sufficient.

.

According to Norfolk Southern CEO Alan Shaw, the railroad's decision to join the new reporting program will hopefully set an example for the rest of the industry.
