Norfolk Southern Railroad Faces Weeks-Long Outage Fallout
Norfolk Southern, a U.S. railroad operator, has restored all rail systems after a hardware-related outage that impacted its operations. The company expects the impact to last for at least a couple of weeks and has been working with customers to update shipment timings. There is no indication that the outage was a cybersecurity incident. Norfolk Southern has recently faced scrutiny from the U.S. Transportation Department's Federal Railroad Administration following a hazardous materials train derailment in Ohio.
