CSX turned to Gemstone to help train First Responders

CSX has a reputation for being prepared to respond to any incident on their railroad.  Part of that is sharing with First Responders and Emergency Managers the extensive resources CSX makes available to them.

Emergency Response to Railroad Incidents is the training presented aboard a dedicated train for Responder Incident Training.

Gemstone Media developed a multimedia training program which CSX Hazardous Materials Specialists use in conjunction with hands-on training on actual rail cars and a locomotive.

Gemstone also developed the video modules and the accompanying course manual to help instructors customize the training for the communities where first responders operate.

More than 10,000 First Responders are expected to benefit from the training.
