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.
