Safety is our Priority

At Chesapeake & Delaware, we want our employees to come to work, perform their required job duties, and return home safely to their families and friends. We believe no job is ever to be done unless it can be done safely. Our employees continuously evaluate work processes and help refine them to lessen exposures.

We understand the improvement of railroad safety is an ongoing process that involves constantly enhancing operating practices. Our management has decades of experience working with employees, customers, communities, as well as federal and state agencies to improve freight rail safety and the integrity of our network. 

C&D railroads work to meet requirements set out by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration to ensure safe transportation of freight across New Jersey. Currently, there are more than two dozen such programs with which we are responsible for compliance. We are committed to meeting the railroad safety requirements set out by state and federal regulating agencies and work diligently to improve transparency and efficiency of the auditing and inspection.
