Steps
Register for access at developer.nscorp.com, Norfolk Southern's API Resource Platform.
Use the portal's self-serve tutorial videos to understand available endpoints, or contact the CS Help Desk (CSHelpDesk@NSCORP.COM) for onboarding help.
Call the Shipment Status API to get current location, ETA, commodity, origin, and destination for a shipment.
Call the Trip Plan API to track progress against the shipment's planned route, including current ETA and movements.
Call the Gate Receipts API to pull terminal/driver information and equipment pickup numbers.
Known gotchas
The public developer.nscorp.com portal requires JavaScript and an authenticated session to browse endpoint docs - a plain unauthenticated fetch returns an empty app shell.
Data freshness and coverage depend on NS's own network reporting; cross-check Trip Plan ETAs against actual gate/interchange events.
