These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of the Plan (Item 27a-Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes, Item 27a - Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes Which Were Both Acquired and Disposed of Within the Plan Year, Item 27e - Schedule of Nonexempt Transactions, Item 27b - Schedule of Loans or Fixed Income Obligations, Item 27c - Schedule of Leases in Default or Classified as Uncollectible and Item 27d - Schedule of Reportable Transactions) are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ KPMG Peat Marwick Norfolk, Virginia March 24, 1994 PAGE 6 EXHIBIT INDEX Electronic Submission Exhibit Number Description Page - ----------- --------------------------------------------- ---- 1 Consent of Independent Auditors 7 PAGE 7 EXHIBIT 1 CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS ------------------------------- The Board of Directors Norfolk Southern Corporation The Board of Managers Thrift and Investment Plan of Norfolk Southern Corporation and Participating Subsidiary Companies: We consent to incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement (No. 33-44188) on Form S-8 of Norfolk Southern Corporation of our report dated March 24, 1994, relating to the statements of net assets available for benefits of the Thrift and Investment Plan of Norfolk Southern Corporation and Participating Subsidiary Companies as of December 31, 1993, and 1992, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, which report appears on Page 5 in the December 31, 1993 Annual Report on Form 11-K of the Thrift and Investment Plan of Norfolk Southern Corporation and Participating Subsidiary Companies. /s/ KPMG Peat Marwick Norfolk, Virginia March 24, 1994
