SUMMARY: Norfolk Southern in Atlanta enlisted 24 goats to clear invasive kudzu vines around its Inman Yard in Northwest Atlanta. Over four weeks, the goats successfully cleared four acres of the problematic plant, which posed risks like falling trees and flooding. The idea originated as a joke but quickly became a practical solution after contacting local goat groups. To ensure safety, the goats were fenced off at least 200 yards from trains and provided with supplemental food, water, and minerals. Following this success, Norfolk Southern plans to expand the use of goats for vegetation control at other sites, including Doraville and Austell.

An Atlanta-based railroad giant has enlisted a herd of goats to help keep its railyards clear. Norfolk Southern brought in 24 goats and one herding sheep to control kudzu spreading around its Inman Yard in northwest Atlanta.
