Norfolk Southern recently provided hands-on training with their ‘NS’ Safety Train’ event in Bellevue OH. Since our township community includes a length of railway that runs adjacent to State Route 5, this training was particularly key for the five firefighters who attended. The comprehensive session covered these topics:
- Safety Around the Railroad
- Understanding Rail Shipping Documents
- Tank Car Identification & Assessment
- Tank Car Valves & Fittings
- Locomotive Emergencies
- Responding to Railroad Emergencies
- AskRail Mobile App
- Response Strategies & Tactics
Many thanks to Paris firefighters for their participation in this valuable safety training event for responding to railroad emergencies.
