The 2009 Norfolk Southern TRANSCAER Whistle-Stop Tour will kick off in Buffalo, NY providing emergency preparedness training to first responders.

The Whistle-Stop Tour brings emergency preparedness training to response organizations and educates communities near major rail routes about rail equipment, chemical transportation and the importance of planning for potential hazardous material transportation emergencies.

More than 1,200 emergency responders are expected to participate in the FREE training programs taught by chemical and rail transportation experts.

At each location, state and local emergency planning committees, emergency responders and government officials can participate in hands-on drills and training sessions. Railroad training tank cars, specialized emergency response vehicles and over-the-road tank trucks will be on display.
