The Foundation continually evaluates the effectiveness of its training equipment and curriculums, to ensure the quality of training programs delivered to emergency responders.

Since the dedication of their first Safety Train, which includes a classroom car, three different types of tank cars and a Dome Car, their roster has grown to over forty cars and the Foundation has continued to expand its BAST equipment and focus on training. After terrorist attacks on the passenger trains in Europe, the Foundation and CSX Transportation developed the only "Swat Train" in the world. The "Swat Train" has been used to teach over one hundred police agencies around the country on how to "Safely" respond to railroad security incidents.

Dow Chemical Company, one of the largest chemical companies in the world and the Chlorine Institute in the United States have joined the Foundation to demonstrate their commitment to training emergency responders along the Nation's railroads. The FETF is committed to continually designing and building the finest railroad training tools in the industry and promoting better safety equipment.

The Kelso Klincher Manway® and pressure relief valve bring innovative ideas to the industry that will better protect the emergency responders, the community and the environment. Both are an important part of our "hands-on" training program."
