Private Crossings

Norfolk Southern is committed to employee and public safety and is opposed to the establishment of any new grade crossings. The best plan for safe crossings is no crossings at all. Our Safety and Real Estate departments work hand in hand to eliminate grade crossings whenever possible. Both federal and state government policies discourage the creation of new grade crossings.

In seeking to carry out this policy, the U.S. Department of Transportation, state agencies, and Norfolk Southern have adopted programs to eliminate grade crossings by constructing bridges or by diverting traffic to existing overhead, sub-grade or at-grade crossings. We strongly urge you to find an alternate means of access to your property.
