ACCESS TO NS PROPERTY
The safety of our employees, of individuals in the communities in which we operate, and individuals granted permission to enter railroad property, is our priority. If you require access to NS property to perform work, you must submit an application to secure railroad approval. Verbal authorization is not valid.
Entry onto railroad property may require the presence of a flagman if the entry occurs within 25 feet of track.
RIGHT OF ENTRY FAQ
First, take a look through the types of property services the railroad offers. Look at the application forms to see the process involved in entering into a business relationship with NS. If you have further questions about a specific property and have identified NS ownership of the property, contact the appropriate property agent for the territory to discuss your interests further. Any property "previews" must be done with the accompaniment of an NS employee.
