CSX has officially opened our Hazardous Materials Training Institute at Florida State College at Jacksonville's Fire Academy of the South — a state-of-the-art facility built to prepare emergency responders, railroad personnel, and public safety partners for real-world rail emergencies. Developed through a long-term partnership with FSCJ, the institute features 1,200 feet of track, real freight and tank cars, and scenario-based training environments designed to build speed and confidence when it matters most. CSX President and CEO Steve Angel and FSCJ President and CEO John Avendano recently spoke to the inaugural class and toured the facility alongside other senior leaders, reinforcing the shared commitment to safety and partnership. This is safety leadership in action — and we're proud to raise the standard. Learn more: bit.ly/3SNGmvj
