NTSB to open special investigation into Norfolk Southern’s safety practices

The National Transportation Safety Board announced Tuesday a special investigation of Norfolk Southern Railway’s organization and safety culture. Since December 2021, NTSB has launched investigation teams to five significant accidents involving Norfolk Southern, it said. "The continued safe operations of Norfolk Southern is vital to the United States. The NTSB is concerned that several organizational factors may be involved in the accidents, including safety culture. The NTSB will conduct an in-depth investigation into the safety practices and culture of the company. At the same time, the company should not wait to improve safety and the NTSB urges it to do so immediately." Reference Link
