Generations on the rails: The Gault and Williams families of Enola, PA

At Norfolk Southern, railroading runs deep. It often spans generations of the same family. Across our network, you’ll find parents, children, grandchildren, and more who have all proudly called themselves railroaders, continuing a legacy built on grit, pride, and purpose.

These families are more than employees. They’re part of our foundation. Their shared history and commitment help drive our success and shape our culture.

In Enola, Pennsylvania, the Gault and Williams families represent this tradition in true Thoroughbred fashion. Their story is a powerful reminder of the legacy that lives on in the people who keep our railroad moving — generation after generation.
