Assumed it stood for Norfolk-Southern. That's a domestic terrorism firm responsible for the horrifying Palestine bombing.

Norfolk-Southern is a rail operator, am I missing something here?

The east Palestine rail accident.

Neve heard of them until now. But wouldn't be surprised if they chose their name based on the initials.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Palestine,_Ohio,_train_derailment) it's a class one railway. It's really rather well known. Even for Ausländers.

Thanks for educating me! I seriously had no idea. The accident rings a bell though
