  • Camp cars provide safe, healthy, logistically convenient and dependable lodging for Norfolk Southern employees.

    NS operates in many isolated locations where motels and restaurants are not easily accessible to work areas. In these areas, camp cars are the best and, in some cases, the only practical alternative. With camp cars readily available at the end of a workday, employees don't have to venture long distances in unfamiliar environments to seek lodging and dining facilities.

  • Was this in response to the Teamsters video wanting to abolish the camp car? Those cars in that video were in pretty poor condition.

  • Hmmm... can't decide, I have seen and talked to someone from a rail gang and (they) have never complained. Guess it is something (they) have to get used to. Camp cars ARE filthy... this is what they SHOULD look like but NS is WAY TOO CHEAP (concerned about making money and not about employees well-being) to even care about making a move. Support the MofW brothers and sisters.

  • @bs30gman why Ozark?

  • looks like fun, I want to work for NS, its like camping everynight

  • I would like to leave the State of Michigan and work for Norfolk Southern Railroad!

  • these are all over. they have camp cars everywhere. 2 months ago i seen 2 go up towards allentown attached to the back of a Train

  • If i am thinking of the video you are talking about, those campcars have yet to be updated. They are still at 8 person/car while these are at 4

  • I Work on this gang which is R-3 Dual Rail Gang, the one and only dual. The Guy with the thick glasses is hilarious we call him Ozark

  • GP38/38-2 guessing by sound

  • u going against the union borther

  • I love how you can see some of the history of NS in the background of this video. For example, the Southern Railway 89' double-door autoparts boxcar at 2:50, and the Conrail locomotive (GP-something?) at 3:00.

    NS is a pretty neat company!

  • Because Camp Cars are for people, one would think that they are rebuilt or replaced every 10 years, just like the Auto Racks, and auto racks only carry fragile merchandise.
