WASHINGTON, July 10 (Reuters) - The chair of the U.S.

National Transportation Safety Board met on Wednesday with

Norfolk Southern ( NSC ) Chief Executive Officer Alan Shaw and other

senior rail officials who vowed to implement a series of safety

recommendations made by the board following a February 2023

train derailment in Ohio.

NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy and other senior NTSB officials

met in Atlanta on Wednesday with Norfolk Southern ( NSC ) after

she had harshly criticized the railroad in June, saying

executives had threatened the board, sought to manufacture

evidence and failed to provide documents.

Homendy on Wednesday praised the railroad and said Shaw told

her "he was interested in finding a way to exceed our

recommendations ... I think there's a real commitment to safety

and working together to move forward."
