CSX Corporation has announced a partnership with Florida State College at Jacksonville (FSCJ) to establish the nation's first railroad-operated hazardous materials training institute for emergency responders. The facility will be located at FSCJ's Fire Academy of the South and is set to begin construction this summer, with training programs launching in early 2026. This collaboration aims to enhance the training of first responders, emergency managers, and industry professionals in handling rail-related hazmat incidents. The new center will provide hands-on experience through live exercises and classroom instruction, utilizing equipment such as tank cars, cargo tank trucks, simulators, and augmented reality programs. This initiative highlights CSX's commitment to rail safety and FSCJ's dedication to advanced emergency management education.
