When a hiker broke their leg in the steep terrain near Fern Creek in West Virginia's New River Gorge, the CSX team stopped train traffic and provided a hi-rail vehicle to move rescuers, equipment, and the injured hiker more than a mile along the tracks to a waiting ambulance, helping complete the rescue in about three hours alongside firefighters, National Park Service personnel, and medical teams. Moments like this remind us that our network is more than a way to move freight — it's a lifeline for the communities we're proud to serve.
