I am interested in taking a preview look at the railroad's property to see if it serves my needs. What's the process?

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.

Norfolk Southern has hired us to do work for the railroad and we need access to Norfolk Southern's property.

Please complete the Right of Entry form.

How do I obtain a grade crossing over railroad tracks?

Please refer to the section on Grade Crossings.

How do I obtain permission to go on railroad land?

Follow the instructions detailed in Right of Entry Application or the Grade Crossings section.

My club is holding our annual walkathon, bike race or car race and we want to use a trail or road that passes over railroad property.

Access for those uses is not permitted by Norfolk Southern.

If I need to perform maintenance or repair to an existing crossing/line, what do I need to do?

If you have an existing license with Norfolk Southern and desire to perform maintenance or repair work, in most cases, you will need to first contact the Director of Contract Services. You must comply with the specific terms of your license agreement. You will have to have a copy of your license agreement with you when entering Norfolk Southern property.

How can I arrange for an industry track to serve my plant, building or industrial park?

Please contact our Industrial Development Department.

How can I get additional access if an agreement already exists?

Please contact the appropriate Property Manager responsible for your area.

How may I obtain or review Norfolk Southern's safety requirements?

Please refer to Norfolk Southern's Safety Statement.
