Well, from what I have heard, NS has earned its safety record in a poor fashion. NS employees have been bullied and threatened by their employer when it comes to personal injury. The entire crew is put on the street for an injury, reguardless of what happened. This is an example, and a true one at that. A local crew was working and the foreman was at the head end of the train working a switch. the brakeman was further back making a cut, and the engineer of course was doing what he does best. The brakeman slips on the ballast and breaks his ankle. Get this...the entire crew is put on the street for a year because they didn't have a proper job briefing to avoid the broken ankle!!!!!! I guess there is some technicality that NS and I'm sure other RR's use to hide FRA reportable injuries, so NS is not quite the safety railroad they claim they are! I'm a new railroader, so everything I have said is what I have heard from other Railroaders.
