Over the past year the Craft Mentors have been busy on Norfolk Southern Coastal Division. From getting Conductor Trainee's(CT) through the rigorous training program to become marked up conductors, facilitating peer to peer meetings with conductors with two years or less seniority, to speaking with newly hired CT's at the training center in McDonough GA. We have had the honor of having the EVP & COO Paul Duncan , VP of Transportation Joe Gioe , VP of Field Engagement Floyd Hudson, AVP of Performance Excellence Michael Belt, General Manager Operations Transportation- Southern Region Brian Stanley, Coastal Division Superintendent Mike Davis and many others stop by Inman Yard and give some great round table knowledge and have open forum discussions on ways to make this company the most desirable Class 1 railroad to work for. Rather it be a newly graduated CT's or the most senior employees on the terminal, all feedback is necessary to drive the culture change for the next generation. As the year comes to an end, we look to our President and CEO Alan Shaw envision of "A Better Way Forward", 2024 has a lot in store. 

Senior Training Coordinator B MOORE has definitely put together "The A Team" with myself,  Shannon Goins, Kelvin Hill, Britt Holloway, Anthony Lane, and Bobbie Pitts to ensure that these new hires embarking on their railroad careers are getting top notch guidance and training.

Happy holidays to you and your family.

For most Americans, the holiday season is a time to wind down work for the year. But for Norfolk Southern, it’s Peak Season. That’s when our team ramps up to help bring the holidays to life in cities and towns across our network. We know that when we deliver for our customers, we’re also delivering for the families, friends, neighbors, and communities that depend on rail to get the items they need to make their holidays special. 
 
This holiday season, I’m grateful to the 20,000 railroaders who power Norfolk Southern. I’m especially thankful for those working throughout this holiday season, like our team at Inman Yard in Atlanta. I had the pleasure of visiting with them on Christmas Eve to thank them in person for their hard work and dedication. I am inspired by their commitment to Norfolk Southern and our customers.   

I’m honored to lead Team NS as we chart A Better Way Forward for our customers, our communities, and our industry. From my family to yours, I hope everyone has a safe and healthy holiday season and a Happy New Year.

Setting out 🥛 & 🍪 for 🎅 tonight? Our railroaders ensure those essentials are delivered, so you can keep Santa rolling through the night.

We transported enough sugar, flour, and salt for 2.8 BILLION batches of snickerdoodle cookies— that’s enough ingredients for every household in America to make cookies for Santa, 23 times over. We also move enough milk to fill Santa’s cup over 20 million times.
 
Don't forget about his reindeer too! 🦌 We've moved 25M tons of grain and feed, along with over 18M carrot sticks, to keep Santa’s reindeer energized for a lifetime of holiday flights.
