PART I

NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES (NS)

Item 1. Business. and Item 2. Properties.

GENERAL - Norfolk Southern Corporation (Norfolk Southern) was incorporated on July 23, 1980, under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. On June l, 1982, Norfolk Southern acquired control of two major operating railroads, Norfolk and Western Railway Company (NW) and Southern Railway Company (Southern) in accordance with an Agreement of Merger and Reorganization dated as of July 31, 1980, and with the approval of the transaction by the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) (now the Surface Transportation Board [STB]).

Effective Dec. 31, 1990, Norfolk Southern transferred all the common stock of NW to Southern, and Southern's name was changed to Norfolk Southern Railway Company (Norfolk Southern Railway). Effective Sept. 1, 1998, NW was merged with and into Norfolk Southern Railway. As of Dec. 31, 2002, all the common stock of Norfolk Southern Railway and 22.5% of its voting preferred stock (resulting in 95.2% voting control) was owned directly by Norfolk Southern.

Through a jointly owned entity, Norfolk Southern and CSX Corporation (CSX) own the stock of Conrail Inc., which owns the major freight railroad in the Northeast. Norfolk Southern has a 58% economic and 50% voting interest in the jointly owned entity. See also the discussion concerning operation of a portion of Conrail's rail assets, below.

On March 28, 1998, Norfolk Southern closed the sale of its motor carrier company, North American Van Lines, Inc. (NAVL) (see "Discontinued Operations" and Note 17). NAVL's results are presented as "Discontinued operations" in the accompanying financial information.

Norfolk Southern makes available free of charge through its website, www.nscorp.com, its annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Unless indicated otherwise, Norfolk Southern and its subsidiaries are referred to collectively as NS.

OPERATION OF A PORTION OF THE CONRAIL RAIL ASSETS - On June 1, 1999, Norfolk Southern and CSX, through their respective railroad subsidiaries, began operating separate portions of Conrail's rail routes and assets. Substantially all such assets are owned by two wholly owned subsidiaries of Consolidated Rail Corporation (CRC); one of those subsidiaries, Pennsylvania Lines LLC (PRR), has entered into various operating and leasing arrangements, more particularly described in Note 2, with Norfolk Southern Railway. Certain rail assets (Shared Assets Areas) still are owned by CRC, which operates them for joint and exclusive use by Norfolk Southern Railway and the rail subsidiary of CSX.

Operation of the PRR routes and assets increased the size of the system over which Norfolk Southern Railway provides service by nearly 50% and afforded access to the New York metropolitan area, to

much of the Northeast and to most of the major East Coast ports north of Norfolk, Virginia. Also, leasing arrangements with PRR augmented Norfolk Southern Railway's locomotive, freight car and intermodal fleet.

RAILROAD OPERATIONS - As of Dec. 31, 2002, NS' railroads operated approximately 21,500 miles of road in the states of Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, the District of Columbia and in the Province of Ontario, Canada. The miles operated were as follows:

	Mileage Operated as of Dec. 31, 2002

				Passing
				Track,
		Miles of Road	Second and Other Main Track	Crossovers and Turnouts	Way and Yard Switching	Total

Owned		11,745	1,384	1,625	5,969	20,723
Operated under lease,
contract or trackage rights		9,813	3,441	891	3,647	17,792
Total		21,558	4,825	2,516	9,616	38,515

In addition to the lines leased from Conrail previously discussed, NS' railroads have major leased lines between Cincinnati, Ohio, and Chattanooga, Tennessee, and operate over trackage owned by North Carolina Railway Company (NCRR). The Cincinnati-Chattanooga lease, covering about 335 miles of road, expires in 2026, and is subject to an option to extend the lease for an additional 25 years, at terms to be agreed upon. The trackage rights over NCRR cover approximately 315 miles of road under an agreement through 2014 with the right to renew for two additional 15-year periods.

NS' railroads carry raw materials, intermediate products and finished goods primarily in the Southeast, East and Midwest, and via interchange with other rail carriers, to and from the rest of the United States and parts of Canada. They also transport overseas freight through several Atlantic and Gulf Coast ports. Atlantic ports served by NS include: Norfolk, Virginia; Morehead City, North Carolina; Charleston, South Carolina; Savannah and Brunswick, Georgia; Jacksonville, Florida; Baltimore, Maryland; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania/Camden, New Jersey; Wilmington, Delaware; and the Ports of New York/New Jersey. Gulf Coast ports served include Mobile, Alabama, and New Orleans, Louisiana.

The lines of NS' railroads reach most of the larger industrial and trading centers of the Southeast, Northeast, Mid-Atlantic region and Midwest. Chicago, Norfolk, Detroit, Atlanta, Metropolitan New York City, Jacksonville, Kansas City (Missouri), Baltimore, Buffalo, Charleston, Cleveland, Columbus, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Toledo, Greensboro, Charlotte and Savannah are among the leading centers originating and terminating freight traffic on the system. In addition, haulage arrangements with connecting carriers allow NS' railroads to provide single-line service to and from additional markets, including haulage provided by Florida East Coast Railway Company to serve southern and eastern Florida, including the port cities of Miami, West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale; and haulage provided by The Kansas City Southern Railway Company to provide transcontinental intermodal service via a connection with the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company. Service is provided to New England, including the Port of Boston, via haulage, trackage rights and interline arrangements with Canadian Pacific Railway Company and Guilford Transportation Industries. The system's lines also reach many individual industries, electric generating facilities, mines (in western Virginia, eastern Kentucky, southern and northern West Virginia and western Pennsylvania), distribution centers, transload facilities and other businesses located in smaller communities in its service area. The traffic corridors carrying the heaviest volumes of freight include those from the New York City area to Chicago (via Allentown and Pittsburgh); Chicago to Jacksonville (via Cincinnati, Chattanooga and Atlanta); Appalachian coal fields of Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky, to Norfolk and Sandusky, Ohio; Cleveland to Kansas City; and Knoxville to Chattanooga. Chicago, Memphis, Sidney/Salem, New Orleans, Kansas City, Buffalo, St. Louis and Meridian are major gateways for interterritorial system traffic.

Triple Crown Operations - Until April 1993, NS' intermodal subsidiary, Triple Crown Services, Inc. (TCS), offered intermodal service using RoadRailer® equipment and domestic containers. RoadRailer® units are enclosed vans that can be pulled over highways in tractor-trailer configuration and over the rails by locomotives. On April 1, 1993, the business, name and operations of TCS were transferred to Triple Crown Services Company (TCSC), a partnership in which subsidiaries of NS and Conrail are equal partners. From April 1, 1993, to June 1, 1999, the revenues of TCSC were not consolidated with the results of NS; however, effective June 1, 1999, NS gained control of TCSC and, therefore, now includes TCSC's results in its

consolidated financial statements. TCSC offers door-to-door intermodal service using RoadRailer® equipment in major traffic corridors, including those between the Midwest and the Northeast, the Midwest and the Southeast and the Midwest and Texas/Mexico.

The following table sets forth certain statistics relating to NS railroads' operations for the past 5 years, including operations in the Northern Region that commenced June 1, 1999:

COAL TRAFFIC - Coal, coke and iron ore -- most of which is bituminous coal -- is NS' railroads' largest commodity group as measured by revenues. The railroads handled a total of 170.4 million tons in 2002, most of which originated on NS' lines in West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania and Kentucky. Revenues from coal, coke and iron ore accounted for about 23% of NS' total railway operating revenues in 2002.

Coal, coke and iron ore tonnage by market for the past five years are set forth in the following table.

Coal, Coke and Iron Ore Tonnage by Market

	Year Ended December 31,
	2002	2001	2000	1999	1998
	(tons in thousands)

Utility	127,747	132,325	119,284	107,381	83,225
Export	11,342	13,872	19,845	18,373	24,453
Steel	21,578	20,457	25,003	21,399	18,236

	170,400	178,031	174,913	157,501	134,296

Total coal handled through all system ports in 2002 was 32 million tons. Of this total, 10 million tons (including coastwise traffic) moved through Lamberts Point, Virginia, 3 million tons moved through the Baltimore Terminal, 11 million tons moved to various docks on the Ohio River, and 8 million tons moved to various Lake Erie ports. Other than coal for export, virtually all coal handled by NS' railroads was terminated in states east of the Mississippi River.

See the discussion of coal traffic, by type of coal, in Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis."

GENERAL Merchandise Traffic - General merchandise traffic is composed of five major commodity groupings: automotive; chemicals; metals and construction; agriculture, consumer products and government; and paper, clay and forest products. The automotive group includes finished vehicles for BMW, Daimler Chrysler, Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Honda, Isuzu, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Saab, Subaru, Suzuki, Toyota and Volkswagen, and auto parts for Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Mercedes-Benz and Toyota. The chemicals group includes sulfur and related chemicals, petroleum products, chlorine and bleaching compounds, plastics, rubber, industrial chemicals, chemical wastes and municipal wastes. The metals and construction

group includes steel, aluminum products, machinery, scrap metals, cement, aggregates, bricks and minerals. The agriculture, consumer products and government group includes soybeans, wheat, corn, fertilizer, animal and poultry feed, food oils, flour, beverages, canned goods, sweeteners, consumer products and items for the military. The paper, clay and forest products group includes lumber and wood products, pulpboard and paper products, woodfibers, woodpulp, scrap paper and clay. General merchandise carloads handled in 2002 were 2.76 million, compared with 2.72 million handled in 2001, an increase of 2%.

In 2002, 134 million tons of general merchandise freight, or approximately 67% of total general merchandise tonnage handled by NS, originated online. The balance of general merchandise traffic was received from connecting carriers at interterritorial gateways. The principal interchange points for NS-received traffic included Chicago, Memphis, New Orleans, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Detroit, Hagerstown, St. Louis/East St. Louis and Louisville.

See the discussion of general merchandise rail traffic by commodity group in Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis."

INTERMODAL TRAFFIC - The intermodal market consists of shipments moving in trailers, domestic and international containers, and Roadrailer® equipment. These shipments are handled on behalf

of intermodal marketing companies, international steamship lines, truckers and other shippers. Intermodal units handled in 2002 were 2.35 million, compared with 2.21 million handled in 2001,

an increase of 6%.

See the discussion of intermodal traffic in Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis."

FREIGHT RATES - In 2002, NS' railroads continued their reliance on private contracts and exempt price quotes as their predominant pricing mechanisms. Thus, a major portion of NS' railroads' freight business is not currently economically regulated by the government. In general, market forces have been substituted for government regulation and now are the primary determinant of rail service prices. However, in 2002 there were significant coal movements moving under common carrier (tariff) rates which had previously moved under rates contained in transportation contracts. Beginning Jan. 1, 2002, coal moving to Duke Energy's (Duke) Belew's Creek, Allen, Buck and Dan River generating stations moved under common carrier rates and beginning April 1, 2002, coal moving to Carolina Power and Light's (CP&L) Hyco and Mayo plants moved under common carrier rates. Duke and CP&L have challenged the reasonableness of these common carrier rates in proceedings currently pending before the Surface Transportation Board.

In 2002, NS' railroads were found by the STB not to be "revenue adequate" based on results for the year 2001. A railroad is "revenue adequate" under the applicable law when its return on net investment exceeds the rail industry's composite cost of capital. This determination is made pursuant to statutory requirement and does not adversely impact NS' liquidity or capital resources.

PASSENGER OPERATIONS - Regularly scheduled passenger trains are operated by Amtrak on NS' lines between Alexandria and New Orleans, and between Greensboro and Selma, North Carolina. Commuter trains are operated on the NS line between Manassas and Alexandria in accordance with contracts with two transportation commissions of the Commonwealth of Virginia. NS also leases the Chicago to Manhattan, Illinois, line to the Commuter Rail Division of the Regional Transportation Authority of Northeast Illinois. Since June 1, 1999, Norfolk Southern Railway has operated former Conrail lines on which Amtrak conducts regularly scheduled passenger operations between Chicago, Illinois, and Detroit, Michigan, and between Chicago and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

Also since June 1, 1999, through its operation of PRR's routes, Norfolk Southern Railway has been providing freight service over former Conrail lines with significant ongoing Amtrak and commuter passenger operations, and is conducting freight operations over some trackage owned by Amtrak or by New Jersey Transit, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, Metro-North Commuter Railway Company and Maryland DOT. Finally, passenger operations are conducted either by Amtrak or by the commuter agencies over trackage owned by Pennsylvania Lines LLC, or by Conrail in the Shared Assets Areas.

NONCARRIER OPERATIONS - NS' noncarrier subsidiaries engage principally in the acquisition, leasing and management of coal, oil, gas and minerals; the development of commercial real estate; telecommunications; and the leasing or sale of rail property and equipment. In 2002, no such noncarrier subsidiary or industry segment grouping of noncarrier subsidiaries met the requirements for a reportable business segment set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131.

RAILWAY PROPERTY

The NS railroad system extends across 22 states and portions of Canada. The railroad infrastructure makes the company very capital intensive with total property of approximately $11 billion and investment in Conrail of approximately $6 billion.

Capital Expenditures - Capital expenditures for road, equipment and other property for the past five years were as follows (including capitalized leases):

	Capital Expenditures
		2002		2001		2000		1999		1998
	($ in millions)
Road	$	519	$	505	$	557	$	559	$	612
Equipment		174		233		146		349		442
Other property		2		8		28		4		6
Total	$	695	$	746	$	731	$	912	$	1,060

Capital spending and maintenance programs are and have been designed to assure the ability to provide safe, efficient and reliable transportation services. For 2003, NS has budgeted $798 million of capital spending. See the discussion following "Cash used for investing activities," in Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis."

Equipment - As of Dec. 31, 2002, NS owned or leased the following units of equipment:

The following table indicates the number and year built for locomotives and freight cars owned at Dec. 31, 2002.

	Year Built

% of fleet	--%	--%	--%	1%	2%	7%	8%	82%	100%

As of Dec. 31, 2002, the average age of the locomotive fleet was 16.1 years. During 2002, 52 locomotives, the average age of which was 28.2 years, were retired. The average age of the freight car fleet at Dec. 31, 2002, was 25.9 years. During 2002, 3,013 freight cars were retired.

Since 1988, about 29,000 coal cars have been rebodied. As a result, the remaining serviceability of the freight car fleet is greater than may be inferred from the high percentage of freight cars built in earlier years.

	Annual Average Bad Order Ratio
	2002	2001	2000	1999	1998

Freight cars (excluding cabooses):
NS Rail	8.1%	6.9%	5.7%	3.7%	4.1%
Locomotives:
NS Rail	6.3%	5.8%	5.5%	5.3%	4.3%

Ongoing freight car and locomotive maintenance programs are intended to ensure the highest standards of safety, reliability, customer satisfaction and equipment marketability. In past years, the freight car bad order ratio reflected the storage of certain types of cars that were not in high demand. The ratio rose in 2000, 2001 and 2002 as a result of decreased maintenance activity. A review began in 2002 to address several hundred unserviceable, overage and commercially obsolete freight cars, which will likely result in their disposition in 2003. The locomotive bad order ratio includes units out of service for required inspections every 92 days and program work such as overhauls. The increase in the locomotive bad order ratio in 1999 was primarily due to the maintenance requirements of units being rented to meet short-term needs and to weather-related failures. The ratio rose slightly in 2000 as maintenance activities were curtailed in response to a slowing economy. The elevated ratio through 2001 and 2002 reflected units out of service related to the resumption of maintenance and modification activities.

Track Maintenance - Of the approximately 38,500 total miles of track operated, NS had responsibility for maintaining about 31,000 miles of track with the remainder being operated under trackage rights. Over 75% of the main line trackage (including first, second, third and branch main tracks, all excluding trackage rights) has rail ranging from 131 to 155 pounds per yard with the standard installation currently at 141 pounds per yard. Approximately 40% of NS lines carried 20 million or more gross tons per track mile.

K10

The following table summarizes several measurements regarding NS' track roadway additions and replacements during the past five years:

	2002	2001	2000	1999	1998

Track miles of rail installed	235	254	390	403	429
Miles of track surfaced	5,270	3,836	3,687	5,087	4,715
New crossties installed (millions)	2.8	1.5	1.5	2.3	2.0

Microwave System - The NS microwave system, consisting of approximately 7,282 radio route miles, 442 active stations and 4 passive repeater stations, provides communications between most operating locations. The microwave system is used primarily for voice communications, VHF radio control circuits, data and facsimile transmissions, traffic control operations and AEI data transmissions.

Traffic Control - Of a total of 21,500 route miles operated by NS, excluding trackage rights over foreign lines, 11,511 miles are signalized, including 8,546 miles of centralized traffic control (CTC) and 2,965 miles of automatic block signals. Of the 8,546 miles of CTC, 1,895 miles are controlled by data radio originating at 148 base station radio sites.

Computers - A computer network consisting of a centralized data center in Atlanta, Georgia, and various distributed computers throughout the company connects the yards, terminals, transportation offices, rolling stock repair points, sales offices and other key system locations. Operating and traffic data are processed and stored to provide customers with information on their shipments throughout the system. Computer systems provide current information on the location of every train and each car on line, as well as related waybill and other train and car movement data. In addition, the computer systems are utilized to assist management in the performance of a variety of functions and services including payroll, car and revenue accounting, billing, material management activities and controls, and special studies.

Other - The railroads have extensive facilities for support of operations, including freight depots, car construction shops, maintenance shops, office buildings, and signals and communications facilities.

Encumbrances - Certain railroad equipment is subject to the prior lien of equipment financing obligations amounting to approximately $864 million as of Dec. 31, 2002, and $895 million at Dec. 31, 2001.

Environmental Matters - Compliance with federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment is a principal NS goal. To date, such compliance has not affected materially NS' capital additions, earnings, liquidity or competitive position. See the discussion of "Environmental Matters" in Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis," and in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

EMPLOYEES - NS employed an average of 28,970 employees in 2002, compared with an average of 30,894 in 2001. The decrease reflects NS' continuous drive to operate more efficiently, accompanied by railroad retirement legislation late in 2001, which lowered the retirement age for rail employees. The approximate average cost per employee during 2002 was $54,000 in wages and $24,000 in employee benefits.

Approximately 85% of NS' railroad employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements with 15 different labor unions. See the discussion of "Labor Agreements" in Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis."

GOVERNMENT REGULATION - In addition to environmental, safety, securities and other regulations generally applicable to all businesses, NS' railroads are subject to regulation by the STB, which succeeded the ICC on Jan. 1, 1996. The STB has jurisdiction over some rates, routes, conditions of service and the extension or abandonment of rail lines. The STB also has jurisdiction over the consolidation, merger or acquisition of control of and by rail common carriers. The Department of Transportation regulates certain track and mechanical equipment standards.

The relaxation of economic regulation of railroads, begun over two decades ago by the ICC under the Staggers Rail Act of 1980, has continued under the STB. Significant exemptions are TOFC/COFC (i.e., "piggyback")

K11

business, rail boxcar traffic, lumber, manufactured steel, automobiles and certain bulk commodities such as sand, gravel, pulpwood and wood chips for paper manufacturing. Transportation contracts on regulated shipments effectively remove those shipments from regulation as well. About 80% of NS' freight revenues come from either exempt traffic or traffic moving under transportation contracts.

Efforts may be made in 2003 to re-subject the rail industry to unwarranted federal economic regulation. The Staggers Rail Act of 1980, which substantially reduced such regulation, encouraged and enabled rail carriers to innovate and to compete for business, thereby contributing to the economic health of the nation and to the revitalization of the industry. Accordingly, NS will oppose efforts to reimpose unwarranted economic regulation.

COMPETITION - There is continuing strong competition among rail, water and highway carriers. Price is usually only one factor of importance as shippers and receivers choose a transport mode and specific hauling company. Inventory carrying costs, service reliability, ease of handling and the desire to avoid loss and damage during transit are also important considerations, especially for higher-valued finished goods, machinery and consumer products. Even for raw materials, semifinished goods and work-in-process, users are increasingly sensitive to transport arrangements that minimize problems at successive production stages.

NS' primary rail competitor is the CSX system; both operate throughout much of the same territory. Other railroads also operate in parts of the territory. NS also competes with motor carriers, water carriers and with shippers who have the additional option of handling their own goods in private carriage.

Certain marketing strategies between railroads and between railroads and motor carriers enable carriers to compete more effectively in specific markets.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes and the Five-Year Financial Review.

SUMMARIZED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

2002 Compared with 2001

Net income was $460 million in 2002, up $85 million, or 23%. Results in 2001 included a $13 million gain from discontinued operations related to the 1998 sale of NS' former motor carrier subsidiary (see Note 17). Excluding that gain from 2001's results, net income was up $98 million, or 27%, in 2002. The improvement was primarily the result of a $151 million, or 15%, increase in income from railway operations.

Diluted earnings per share were $1.18, up 22%. Excluding the discontinued operations gain, diluted earnings per share increased 26%.

2001 Compared with 2000

Net income in 2001 was $375 million, up 118%. Income from continuing operations, which excludes the $13 million discontinued operations gain, was $362 million, up 110%. Results in 2000 included $165 million of costs related to actions taken to reduce the size of the work force, which reduced income from continuing operations by $101 million, or 26 cents per diluted share. Excluding these costs, income from continuing operations increased $89 million, or 33%, in 2001. The improvement resulted from higher income from railway operations, which was up $209 million, or 26%, that more than offset lower nonoperating income, which was down $69 million (see Note 3).

Diluted earnings per share were 97 cents, up 116%. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were 94 cents, up 109%. Excluding the work-force reduction costs in 2000, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were up 32%.

DETAILED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Railway Operating Revenues

Railway operating revenues were $6.3 billion in 2002, and $6.2 billion in both 2001 and 2000. The following table presents a three-year comparison of revenues by market group.

K16

Revenues by Market Group

	2002		2001		2000
	($ in millions)
Coal	$	1,441	$	1,521	$	1,435
General merchandise:
Automotive		961		885		921
Chemicals		769		752		756
Metals/construction		692		674		689
Agriculture/consumer products/

Intermodal		1,181		1,123		1,119
Total	$	6,270	$	6,170	$	6,159

In 2002, revenues increased 2%, as a 3% rise in general merchandise revenues coupled with a 5% improvement in intermodal revenues offset a 5% decline in coal revenues. All but one of the general merchandise market groups (paper, clay and forest products) posted increases over 2001. As shown in the following table, most of the revenue improvement was the result of higher traffic volumes. The favorable revenue per unit/mix variance was driven by higher average revenue per unit, offset in part by the effects of unfavorable changes in the mix of traffic.

Revenue Variance Analysis
Increases (Decreases)

	2002 vs. 2001		2001 vs. 2000
	($ in millions)

Volume	$	89	$	(200)
Revenue per unit/mix		11		211
Total	$	100	$	11

In 2001, revenues fell for all the general merchandise market groups. However, a 6% increase in coal revenues offset the effects of the lower general merchandise revenues. Revenue per unit increased in all market groups, principally due to rate increases, use of higher-capacity equipment and favorable changes in the mix of traffic.

COAL tonnage decreased 4% in 2002 and revenues declined 5%. Revenue per unit declined slightly, reflecting unfavorable changes in the mix of traffic (more shorter-haul business) that offset the effects of rate increases and gains in tonnage per car. Coal, coke and iron ore represented 23% of total railway operating revenues in 2002, and 84% of NS' coal shipments originated on lines it operates.

In 2001, coal tonnage increased 2%, and revenues improved 6%. Revenue per unit increased 6%, a result of rate increases, including lower volume-related refunds on export coal shipments, gains in tonnage per car and favorable changes in the mix of traffic (less shorter-haul business).

Utility coal tonnage decreased 3% in 2002, a result of lower demand that reflected the weak economy, high coal stockpile levels entering the year, mild temperatures in the first quarter, reduced stockpile targets set by utility companies and increased generation from new natural gas-fired plants. Licensing requirements for these new plants resulted in additional generation that temporarily displaced coal-fired generation.

In 2001, utility coal traffic increased 11%, reflecting higher demand for coal-fired electricity and the effects of very high natural gas prices early in the year. High demand for coal, a volatile market for natural gas and production problems at a number of large mines in the East late in 2000 combined to increase demand somewhat early in 2001 with a resulting increase in coal prices. Utility coal traffic volume also benefited somewhat from the shifting of coal that traditionally would have been bound for export to the domestic market.

Two of NS' utility customers, Duke Energy (Duke) and Carolina Power and Light (CP&L), have filed rate reasonableness complaints at the Surface Transportation Board (STB) alleging that the NS tariff rates for the transportation of coal to their solely served power plants are unreasonable. NS is disputing these allegations. Since January 1, 2002, in the case of Duke and since April 1, 2002, in the case of CP&L, NS has been billing and collecting amounts from the customers based on the challenged tariff rates. Management expects that the resolution of these cases, which is anticipated to occur in 2003, will not have a material effect on NS' financial statements.

The near-term outlook for utility coal remains positive. Coal-fired generation remains the lowest cost marginal source of electricity. Coal plant generation should continue to track the U.S. economy, and management expects that utilities will use coal-fired plants to meet increased demand because of coal's low cost. As always, demand will be influenced by the weather. In addition, while the price of natural gas can affect demand for utility coal, its higher price and volatility may improve the long-term competitive position of coal-fired generation.

Phase II of Title IV of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, which imposed more stringent limits on sulfur dioxide emissions, took effect on Jan. 1, 2000. Many of the mines served by NS produce coals that satisfy Phase II requirements. In addition, substantial banks of sulfur dioxide allowances held by many NS-served utilities, as well as implementation of sulfur dioxide emission control systems at many NS-served plants, should continue to provide a market for other NS-served mines.

While the Phase II impact on NS utility coal has been minimal, there are a number of other evolving environmental issues that have the potential to increase or ease cost pressures on the utility coal market, depending upon their outcome. These include a potential new national energy policy, proposed multi-pollutant legislation, a proposed new rule concerning "new source review," the impending mercury emissions standard and the fate of U.S. participation in the Kyoto Protocol.

K18

Although impending developments with these environmental issues could potentially increase cost pressures on coal-fired generation, the outlook remains positive for maintaining coal's position in the power generation mix for regions served by NS. However, different developments with these issues could actually ease cost pressures on coal-fired generation, further strengthening coal's position.

The 1999 decision by a federal district court judge in West Virginia holding that some common mountaintop mining practices in the coal industry are illegal was overturned in April 2001 by the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. In January 2002, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal of the case. In May 2002, the same district court judge made a similar ruling in a different case in which NS had again intervened. In January 2003, this ruling also was overturned by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Export coal tonnage declined 18% in 2002. Steam coal exports through Baltimore declined 4%, and export metallurgical coals through Norfolk declined 22%. During the first half of 2002, demand for U.S. coal was soft as international buyers focused their purchases toward other, lower-priced sources. Market uncertainty resulted in late contract settlements and delayed shipments. Late in 2002, demand for U.S. coking coals increased, reflecting a shift in the market as exports from China, Australia and Poland declined. As a result, shipments through Norfolk increased in the fourth quarter.

In 2001, export coal tonnage decreased 30%. The rapid rise of domestic utility coal prices early in the year enticed many foreign-market suppliers to place much of their 2001 production in the domestic utility markets. In addition, production difficulties at several large NS-served mines and flooding in West Virginia in July significantly reduced the supply of low volatility coal. The combination of these factors resulted in most of the decline in shipments of export coal. Steam coal exports through Baltimore declined 32%, and export metallurgical coals through Norfolk declined by 30%. Demand for steam coal to export strengthened in the last half of 2001; however, strong U.S. demand limited NS' participation in this market. Demand for coking coal to export continued to soften, as steel production moved from traditional NS markets in Europe to Asia, which in recent years has been supplied by Australian or Canadian coals.

It is expected that export coal tonnage will continue to be limited by supply and subject to the fluctuations of the world market. The increase in demand for U.S. coals seen in the fourth quarter of 2002 has continued into the first quarter of 2003, and early indications are that these market forces should remain in place as contracts are settled in the spring for the coming year. Should these market forces continue, U.S. coal export volumes could recover somewhat. However, the inherent volatility and uncertainties in this market make predictions especially vulnerable.

Domestic metallurgical coal, coke and iron ore tonnage increased 5% in 2002, reflecting higher U.S. steel production that was aided by the imported steel tariff program implemented in 2002. In addition, continued strong vehicle production resulted in demand for steel.

In 2001, domestic metallurgical coal, coke and iron ore tonnage decreased 18% due to a decline in the market for domestic steel. The softening economy and an increase in steel imports drastically cut blast furnace production, sharply reducing the demand for coking coal, iron ore and coke. The increase in imported steel also resulted in lower prices that put pressure on the U.S. steel industry and led to plant closures and bankruptcies that included some NS customers.

Domestic metallurgical coal, coke and iron ore traffic is expected to continue to experience modest gains during the two-year life of the import tariffs. However, long-term demand is expected to decline, reflecting advanced technologies that allow production of steel using less coke.

K19

Other coal tonnage, principally steam coal shipped to manufacturing plants, decreased 14% in 2002, but increased 6% in 2001. The decline in 2002 was primarily the result of the weak economy. The gain in 2001 resulted from new and increased business from industrial customers.

GENERAL MERCHANDISE traffic volume (carloads) increased 2% in 2002, and revenues increased 3%, principally due to a 9% improvement in automotive revenues. In 2001, traffic volume decreased 7%, and revenues decreased 2%, reflecting the effects of a weak economy.

Automotive traffic volume increased 7%, and revenues increased 9% in 2002, principally due to a rise in vehicle production and new business. Revenue per unit increased 2%, reflecting some pricing improvements, extended length of haul, special ancillary services and the settlement of a disputed charge.

In 2001, automotive traffic volume decreased 10%, and revenues declined 4%, principally due to a 10% drop in vehicle production. Revenue per unit increased 7%, principally due to rate increases, efficiencies gained from the redesign of the mixing center network and use of higher capacity equipment.

Automotive revenues in 2003 are expected to be lower than those of 2002. Light vehicle production is predicted to be down slightly, and NS' largest automotive customer has announced a 5% decrease in first quarter 2003 production.

Chemicals traffic volume increased slightly, and revenues increased 2% in 2002. Higher traffic volume for plastics and a small increase for miscellaneous chemicals offset a decline for petroleum products. Demand for plastics was supported by increases in light vehicle production and housing starts. Traffic volume also benefited from increased shipments through NS' Thoroughbred Bulk Transfer (TBT) facilities that handle chemicals and bulk commodities for customers not located on NS-served lines. Revenue per unit increased as a result of a favorable change in the mix of traffic (more higher-rated business) and market-driven rate increases.

In 2001, chemicals traffic volume decreased 5%, and revenues decreased 1%. The weak economy depressed shipments of petroleum, plastics, industrial and miscellaneous chemicals. These declines were partially offset by new business through NS' TBT facilities. Revenue per unit increased due to higher rates and a favorable change in the mix of traffic (more longer-haul moves).

Chemicals revenues are expected to improve in 2003, supported by a recovering economy, new business and improved revenue per unit.

Metals and construction traffic volume increased 2%, and revenues improved 3% in 2002, reflecting improvement in the steel industry, which was aided by the two-year imported steel tariff program implemented in 2002. Metals volume benefited from resumption of production at some mills that closed in 2001 and increased volume from new mills. Construction traffic declined, primarily as a result of reductions in highway projects due to state government budget pressures.

In 2001, metals and construction traffic volume decreased 7%, and revenues declined 2%, reflecting weakness in the steel and construction industries. The steel industry recession, which began in 2000, resulted in excess capacity and the closing of numerous steel mills. Revenue per unit increased due to higher rates and favorable changes in the mix of traffic.

Metals and construction revenues are expected to continue to benefit from added production along NS' lines, although further consolidation in the steel industry is expected. Construction markets may benefit from new business from stone quarries and cement terminals in the Southeast.

Agriculture, consumer products and government traffic volume decreased slightly in 2002, but revenues increased 3%. Traffic volume increases for corn, food products and beverages largely offset declines for soybeans and feed. Corn volume benefited from increased shipments from the Midwest to

K20

drought-stricken areas in the East. The increase for food products was primarily the result of new business. Soybean and feed volumes were adversely affected by lower domestic and export demand. Revenue per unit increased because of higher rates, increased length of haul and favorable changes in the mix of traffic.

In 2001, agriculture, consumer products and government traffic volume decreased 3%, and revenues declined 1%, primarily due to reduced shipments of fertilizer. This decline was due to soft farm demand, record high natural gas prices early in the year (which curtailed production of certain fertilizers) and increased imports. This was mitigated by traffic volume increases for grain, flour and canned goods. The revenue per unit increase was primarily due to favorable changes in the mix of traffic.

Agriculture, consumer products and government revenues in 2003 are expected to continue to benefit from higher corn, fertilizer and food product volume. Fertilizer volumes may be favorably affected by the reopening of a large phosphate fertilizer plant.

Paper, clay and forest products traffic volume declined 3%, and revenues decreased 1%, in 2002, primarily due to continued weakness in the paper market, especially in the first half of the year. Traffic volume improved later in the year as the paper market strengthened. In addition, NS gained business from conversion of truck shipments to rail and from continued strength in housing starts. Revenue per unit benefited from rate increases and a decline in shorter-haul business.

In 2001, paper, clay and forest products traffic volume declined 8%, and revenues decreased 3%, primarily due to a weakened paper market. Paper shipments were adversely affected by reduced production at many NS-served paper mills, a result of sluggish newspaper advertising and soft demand for paper. Lumber traffic began the year weak, improved in late summer, but softened late in the year due to short-term weakness in housing starts. Revenue per unit increased principally due to higher rates.

Paper, clay and forest products revenues are expected to improve slightly in 2003 as a result of a recovering economy, service improvements and new business.

INTERMODAL traffic volume increased 6%, and revenues increased 5%, in 2002. Volume growth was principally the result of new and improved services that resulted in new business, including the conversion of truck business to rail. International traffic, which accounts for about half of intermodal volume, increased 10%, supported by growth in trade activity and new business, including the conversion of over-the-road traffic. Domestic shipments grew 6%, primarily because of new business gained from the conversion of truck shipments. Triple Crown Services Company (TCS) volume increased 4%. Revenue per unit declined as a result of an increase in shorter-haul business and the absence of fuel surcharges that were in place in 2001, which were partially offset by some rate increases.

In 2001, intermodal traffic volume decreased 1%, but revenues increased slightly. Domestic traffic volume was up in the first half of the year, but demand increasingly weakened as the year progressed, which eroded NS' base of traffic. New business supported by the opening of three new terminals and other initiatives mitigated the effects of the weakened economy. International traffic grew slightly as U.S. imports slowed with the economy. TCS traffic volume increased 1% despite economic conditions, as it continued to provide reliable, trucklike service. Intermodal revenue per unit dropped later in the year, reflecting the expiration of fuel surcharges that were implemented late in 2000 and the introduction of new shorter-haul business.

In 2003, intermodal revenues are expected to continue to benefit from new business supported by continued improvements in service and conversion of truck traffic to rail.

K21

Railway Operating Expenses

Railway operating expenses decreased 1% in 2002, while carloads increased 1%. In 2001, railway operating expenses declined 7%. However, expenses in 2000 included $165 million of costs related to actions taken to reduce the size of the work force. Excluding these costs, railway operating expenses decreased 4% in 2001, while carloads dropped 3%.

The railway operating ratio, which measures the percentage of railway operating revenues consumed by railway operating expenses, was 81.5% in 2002, compared with 83.7% in 2001 and 87% in 2000 (excluding the work-force reduction costs, which increased the ratio 2.7 percentage points). Both declines primarily resulted from gains in efficiency, although 2002 also benefited from higher traffic volume, and 2001 benefited from increased revenue per unit. The efficiency gains in 2002 were principally the result of the implementation of a new operating plan that emphasizes adherence to a schedule and reductions in service variability. These improvements came despite a continuing change in the mix of traffic (more resource-intensive traffic, such as automotive and intermodal, coupled with the decrease in export coal traffic).

The following table shows the changes in railway operating expenses summarized by major classifications.

Operating Expense Variances

Other		(22)		(31)
Total	$	(51)	$	(363)

* Includes $165 million of work-force reduction costs in 2000.

Compensation and benefits represented 40% of total railway operating expenses and increased slightly in 2002. Higher wage rates, reduced pension income (see Note 11) and increased health and welfare benefits costs more than offset savings from reduced employment levels and lower payroll taxes (see the discussion of the Railroad Retirement and Survivors' Improvement Act, below). Medical costs are expected to continue to increase in 2003, a result of higher costs for active employees and an increase in the expected inflation related to postretirement benefits.

In 2001, compensation and benefits decreased 10%; however, this comparison reflects the $165 million of work-force reduction costs in 2000. Excluding those costs, compensation and benefits decreased 3%, primarily a result of savings attributable to the reduced size of the work force, which were somewhat offset by higher wages and benefit costs for union employees, higher incentive compensation and reduced pension income.

The Railroad Retirement and Survivors' Improvement Act, which took effect on Jan. 1, 2002, provides for a phased reduction of the employers' portions of Tier II Railroad Retirement payroll taxes. The phase-in calls for a reduction from 15.6% in 2002 to 14.2% in 2003 and 13.1% in 2004. In addition, the supplemental annuity tax was eliminated. These changes resulted in an estimated $21 million reduction in payroll taxes in 2002 and are expected to result in savings of $20 million in 2003, compared with 2002. However, these

K22

savings are expected to be offset by an increase in the railroad unemployment tax rate, higher payroll taxes on increased wages and a higher wage base. The new law allows for investment of Tier II assets in a diversified portfolio through the newly established National Railroad Retirement Investment Trust. The law also provides a mechanism for automatic adjustment of future Tier II payroll taxes should the trust assets fall below a four-year reserve or exceed a six-year reserve.

Materials, services and rents includes items used for the maintenance of the railroad's lines, structures and equipment; the costs of services purchased from outside contractors, including the net costs of operating joint (or leased) facilities with other railroads; and the net cost of equipment rentals. This category of expenses increased 1% in 2002 and decreased slightly in 2001.

The increase in 2002 was the result of higher volume-related expenses for automotive and intermodal traffic, increased material costs for locomotives, higher expenses for roadway and bridge repairs and increased derailment costs. These higher costs were largely offset by a significant reduction in equipment rents. In 2001, the effects of lower equipment rents were largely offset by higher costs for purchased services, including expenses for software, consulting and legal fees.

Equipment rents, which includes the cost to NS of using equipment (mostly freight cars) owned by other railroads or private owners, less the rent paid to NS for the use of its equipment, decreased 14% in 2002 and 11% in 2001. The decline in 2002 was principally the result of continued improvement in cycle times, reflecting efficiency gains and, for intermodal equipment, service design and process changes implemented during the year. The decrease in 2001 was primarily due to shorter car cycle times that resulted in fewer car days on line and fewer freight car and locomotive leases.

Locomotive repair costs increased in 2002 and 2001, principally due to renewed maintenance activity, which is expected to continue into 2003. Freight car maintenance costs, which were relatively flat in 2002, are also likely to increase in 2003, as it is expected that the economy will recover and more freight cars are due for maintenance.

Conrail rents and services decreased 2% in 2002 and 12% in 2001. This item includes amounts due to PRR and CRC for use of their operating properties and equipment and CRC's operation of the Shared Assets Areas. Also included is NS' equity in Conrail's net earnings, plus the additional amortization related to the difference between NS' investment in Conrail and its underlying equity (see Note 2). Both declines reflected higher Conrail earnings and lower expenses in the Shared Assets Areas (see "Conrail's Results of Operations, Financial Condition and Liquidity," below).

Depreciation expense was up slightly in 2002 and increased 2% in 2001. Substantial levels of capital spending affected both years; however, depreciation expense in 2002 benefited from lower rates implemented early in the year following completion of a periodic study (see Note 1, "Properties," for NS' depreciation policy).

Diesel fuel expenses decreased 17% in 2002 and 14% in 2001. The decline in 2002 reflected a 16% drop in the average price per gallon and slightly lower consumption. Expenses in 2002 included a $10 million benefit from the hedging program initiated in the second quarter of 2001 (see "Market Risks and Hedging Activities," below and Note 16). The decrease in 2001 was the result of an 8% drop in consumption and a 7% decline in the average price per gallon. Expenses in 2001 included $8 million of cost related to the hedging program. NS expects diesel fuel prices to be higher in 2003.

Casualties and other claims expenses (including the estimates of costs related to personal injury, property damage and environmental matters) increased 20% in 2002, but only slightly in 2001. The increase in 2002 reflected adverse personal injury claims development as indicated by an actuarial study and higher expenses for loss and damage to lading, as well as higher insurance and environmental remediation costs.

K23

The largest component of casualties and other claims expense is personal injury costs. In 2002, cases involving occupational injuries comprised about 30% of the total employee injury cases settled and 24% of the total settlement payments made. Injuries of this type are not generally caused by a specific accident or event, but, rather, result from a claimed exposure over time. Many such claims are being asserted by former or retired employees, some of whom have not been actively employed in the rail industry for decades. NS continues to work actively to eliminate all employee injuries and to reduce the associated costs.

The rail industry remains uniquely susceptible to litigation involving job-related accidental injury and occupational claims because of the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA), which is applicable only to railroads. This law, which covers employee claims for job-related injuries, produces results that are unpredictable and inconsistent as compared with a no-fault workers' compensation system.

NS, like many other businesses in the U.S., has experienced difficulty obtaining property and casualty insurance at reasonable terms since the September 11 terrorist attacks. Thus far, NS has been successful in maintaining a substantial amount of commercial insurance for third-party personal injury, property damage and FELA claims that exceed the self-insured retention. However, both the cost of this commercial insurance and the amount of risk that NS retains through self-insurance has more than doubled since the attacks.

Other expenses decreased 10% in 2002 and 13% in 2001. The decline in 2002 reflected lower expenses for property and sales and use taxes. The decrease in 2001 was principally the result of lower bad debt costs, reduced franchise and property taxes, and lower travel and employee-relocation expenses.

Other Income – Net

Other income – net was $66 million in 2002, $99 million in 2001 and $168 million in 2000 (see Note 3). The decline in 2002 was primarily the result of higher interest accruals on federal income tax liabilities, lower gains from the sale of properties and investments, and the absence of a $13 million gain from a nonrecurring settlement that benefited 2001. These reductions were partially offset by reduced discount from the sales of receivables (due to a lower amount of receivables sold and a lower interest rate environment, which favorably affects the amount of discount). The reduction in 2001 resulted from the absence of $101 million of gains that occurred in 2000 related to the sale of timber rights and gas and oil royalty and working interests. This was somewhat offset by lower interest accruals on federal income tax liabilities and the $13 million nonrecurring settlement gain. Results in 2001 also included an $18 million gain from a large property sale that closed in December.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense in 2002 was $246 million for an effective rate of 35%, compared with effective rates of 35% in 2001 and 31% in 2000. Excluding the equity in Conrail's after-tax earnings, the effective rates were 38% in 2002 and 2001 and 34% in 2000.

The effective rates in 2002 and 2001 were higher than that of 2000, primarily due to dispositions of tax benefits related to coal-seam gas properties. The effective rates in all three years benefited from favorable adjustments upon filing the prior year tax returns and favorable adjustments to state tax liabilities. In addition, 2000 benefited from investments in coal-seam gas properties. The 2003 effective rate may benefit from the resolution of various tax audits.

In March 2002, the Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002 was signed into law and began providing immediate tax incentives for business. A 30% additional first-year depreciation allowance was a primary element of this legislation. This depreciation incentive continues for three years, and during these years the resulting acceleration of tax depreciation deductions will improve cash flow by reducing current tax expense and increasing deferred tax expense by significant amounts.

K24

Discontinued Operations

Income from discontinued operations in 2001 consisted of a $13 million after-tax gain related to the sale of NS' motor carrier subsidiary (see Note 17).

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by operating activities, NS' principal source of liquidity, was $803 million in 2002, compared with $654 million in 2001 and $1.3 billion in 2000. In 2002, the improvement was the result of higher income from railway operations and favorable changes in working capital, which were offset, in part, by fewer accounts receivable sold (see Note 5). Receivable sales declined $270 million in 2002 and $88 million in 2001. The significant decline in operating cash flow in 2001 reflects the commencement in 2000 of the accounts receivable sales program. Excluding the infusion of cash in 2000 from the start of this program, operating cash flow declined by $300 million in 2001. The decrease primarily resulted from an $88 million reduction in the amount of accounts receivable sold, higher tax payments including amounts applicable to prior years, an increase in telecommunication receivables, bonus payments in 2001 (no such payments in 2000) and the timing of payrolls.

A significant portion of payments made to PRR (which are included in "Conrail Rents and Services" and, therefore, are a use of cash in "Cash provided by operating activities") are borrowed back from a PRR subsidiary and, therefore, are a source of cash in "Proceeds from borrowings." NS' net cash flow from these borrowings amounted to $212 million in 2002 and $250 million in 2001.

NS' working capital deficit was $554 million at Dec. 31, 2002, compared with $1.3 billion at Dec. 31, 2001. The decline resulted principally from the change in the terms of the note under which NS borrows funds from a subsidiary of PRR (see Note 2) and a reduction in the amount of debt due within one year. Debt due in 2003 is expected to be paid using cash generated from operations (including sales of accounts receivable) and cash on hand.

NS currently has the capability to increase the amount of accounts receivable being sold under the revolving sale program to meet its more immediate working capital needs. During 2002, the amount of receivables NS could sell under this program ranged from $368 million to $421 million, and the amount of receivables NS sold ranged from $30 million to $400 million. Moreover, NS has the capability to issue up to $1 billion of commercial paper (see Note 8); however, reductions in its credit ratings could limit NS' ability to access the commercial paper markets (see also the discussion of financing activities, below).

NS expects to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet its ongoing obligations. This expectation is based on a view that the economy will remain flat for the first half of 2003 and resume growth in the third and fourth quarters.

K25

Contractual obligations at Dec. 31, 2002, related to NS' long-term debt (including capital leases), operating leases, agreements with CRC, unconditional purchase obligations and other long-term obligations are as follows:

NS also has contractual obligations to PRR as disclosed in Note 2. However, NS has the ability to borrow back funds from PRR to the extent they are not needed to fund contractual obligations at Conrail. As an indirect owner of Conrail, NS may need to make capital contributions, loans or advances to Conrail to fund its contractual obligations. The following table presents 58% of Conrail's contractual obligations for long-term debt (including capital leases) and operating leases. Conrail has no unconditional purchase or other long-term obligations.

NS also has two transactions not included in the balance sheets or in the previous table of its contractual obligations consisting of an accounts receivable sale program (see Note 5) and an operating lease covering 140 locomotives (see Note 9).

Under the accounts receivable sale program, NS sells without recourse undivided ownership interests in a pool of accounts receivable to two unrelated buyers. NS has no ownership interest in the buyers. The buyers issued debt to fund their initial purchase, and NS used the proceeds it received from the initial purchase primarily to pay down its outstanding debt. NS has no obligation related to the buyers' debt, and there is no existing obligation to repurchase sold receivables. Upon termination of the program, the buyers would cease purchasing new receivables and would retain collections related to the previously sold receivables (see Note 5).

The operating lease covering the 140 locomotives is renewable annually at NS' option and expires in 2008. The lessor is a special-purpose entity formed to enter into this transaction, but it is not related to NS and its owner has a substantive residual equity capital investment at risk in the entity. The lessor owns the locomotives and issued debt to finance their purchase. NS has no obligation related to the debt. NS has the option to purchase the locomotives, but also can return them to the lessor. The return provisions of the lease are not so onerous as to preclude this option. If NS does not purchase the locomotives at the end of the maximum lease term, it is liable for any shortfall in the then fair value of the locomotives and a specified residual value. NS does not expect to be required to make any payments

K26

under this provision (see Note 9). As the primary beneficiary of the business of the lessor, effective

Jan. 1, 2003, NS consolidated the assets (locomotives) and liabilities (debt) of this special-purpose entity when it implemented Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 (see "New Accounting Pronouncement" on page K34).

Cash used for investing activities increased 12% in 2002 and 3% in 2001. Property additions, which account for most of the recurring spending in this category, were down 8% in 2002, following a 2% increase in 2001. Property sales were significantly lower in 2002, which resulted in the net increase in cash used for investing activities despite the reduction in capital spending. The following tables show capital spending (including capital leases) and track and equipment statistics for the past five years.

Capital Expenditures

Total	$	695	$	746	$	731	$	912	$	1,060

Capital expenditures (which in 2002 included $6 million of capitalized leases) decreased 7% in 2002, but increased 2% in 2001. The decline in 2002 reflected lower spending for intermodal facilities, as NS completed in 2001 several significant projects that expanded the capacity of the intermodal network. Higher spending on track program work was offset by fewer locomotive purchases (50 in 2002 compared with 100 in 2001). Outlays in 2001 included amounts for locomotive purchases (no such purchases were made in 2000 as locomotives were leased) that were somewhat offset by lower expenditures for freight car purchases and roadway projects. In 2002, 2001 and 2000, spending for road included fiber-optic infrastructure (see "Telecommunications Subsidiary," below).

The table above excludes equipment leased from PRR (see Note 2), which comprises 17% of the freight car fleet and 25% of the locomotive fleet.

Through its coal car rebody program, which was suspended in 2000, NS converted about 29,000 hopper cars into high-capacity steel gondolas or hoppers. As a result, the remaining service life of the freight-car fleet is greater than may be inferred from the increasing average age shown in the table above.

K27

For 2003, NS has budgeted $798 million for capital expenditures. The anticipated spending includes $499 million for roadway projects, of which $383 million is for track and bridge program work. Also included are projects for communications, signal and electrical systems, as well as projects for environmental and public improvements such as grade crossing separations and signal upgrades. Other roadway projects include marketing and industrial development initiatives, including increasing track capacity and access to coal receivers and vehicle production and distribution facilities, and continuing investments in intermodal infrastructure. Equipment spending of $246 million includes the purchase of 100 locomotives and upgrades to existing units, improvements to multilevel automobile racks, and projects related to computers and information technology, including additional security and backup systems.

Cash used for financing activities in 2002 was $150 million. Financing activities provided cash of $151 million in 2001 and used cash of $798 million in 2000. The comparisons reflect a net reduction of debt in 2002, a net increase in 2001 and a net reduction in 2000. The comparison in 2001 also reflected the effects of the reduction to the dividend in January 2001. Financing activities include loan transactions with a subsidiary of PRR that resulted in net borrowings of $212 million in 2002 and $250 million in 2001 and net repayments of $72 million in 2000 (see Note 2). Excluding these borrowings, debt was reduced $303 million in 2002, $20 million in 2001 and $422 million in 2000. The net reduction of debt in 2000 was accomplished in part with the proceeds from the sale of accounts receivable. NS' debt-to-total capitalization ratio (excluding notes payable to the PRR subsidiary) at year end was 53.1% in 2002 and 55.6% in 2001.

NS currently has in place a $1 billion, five-year credit agreement, which provides for borrowings at prevailing rates and includes financial covenants (see Note 8).

NS has outstanding $717 million of its 7.05% notes due May 1, 2037. Each holder of a 2037 note may require NS to redeem all or part of the note at face value, plus accrued and unpaid interest, on May 1, 2004. NS will not know the amount of 2037 notes that it may be required to redeem until April 1, 2004. NS expects to be able to redeem any such notes using cash generated from operations (including sales of accounts receivable), cash on hand and proceeds from borrowings.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions may require significant judgment about matters that are inherently uncertain, and future events are likely to occur that may require management to change them. Accordingly, management regularly reviews these estimates and assumptions based on historical experience, changes in the business environment and other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management discusses the development, selection and disclosures concerning critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors.

Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits

Accounting for pensions and other postretirement benefit plans requires management to make several estimates and assumptions (see Note 11). These include the expected rate of return from investment of the plans' assets, projected increases in medical costs and the expected retirement age of employees as well as their projected earnings and mortality. In addition, the amounts recorded are affected by changes in the interest rate environment because the associated liabilities are discounted to their present value. Management makes these estimates based on the company's historical experience and other information that it deems pertinent under the circumstances (for example, expectations of future stock market performance). Management engages an independent consulting actuarial firm to aid it in selecting appropriate assumptions and valuing its related liabilities.

K28

NS' net pension benefit, which is included in "Compensation and benefits" on its Consolidated Income Statement, was $79 million for the year ended Dec. 31, 2002. In recording this amount, NS assumed a long-term investment rate of return of 9%, compared with the 10% rate used in the previous two years. Investment experience of the pension fund over the past 10-, 15- and 20-year periods has been in excess of 10%. A one percentage point change to this rate of return assumption would result in a $20 million change to the pension credit and, as a result, an equal change in "Compensation and benefits" expense. Changes that are reasonably likely to occur in assumptions concerning retirement age, projected earnings and mortality would not be expected to have a material effect on NS' net pension benefit or net pension asset in the future. The net pension asset is recorded at its net present value using a discount rate that is based on the current interest rate environment; therefore, management has little discretion in this assumption.

NS' net cost for other postretirement benefits, which is also included in "Compensation and benefits," was $34 million for the year ended Dec. 31, 2002. In recording this expense and valuing the net liability for other postretirement benefits, which is included in "Other benefits" as disclosed in Note 11, management estimated future increases in health-care costs. These assumptions, along with the effect of a one percentage point change in them, are described in Note 11.

Properties and Depreciation

Most of NS' total assets are comprised of long-lived railway properties (see Note 6) and its investment in Conrail (see Note 2). Most of Conrail's assets are long-lived railway properties. As disclosed in Note 1, NS' properties are depreciated using group depreciation. Rail is depreciated primarily on the basis of use measured by gross-ton miles. Other properties are depreciated generally using the straight-line method over the lesser of estimated service or lease lives. NS reviews the carrying amount of properties whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such carrying amount may not be recoverable based on future undiscounted cash flows or estimated net realizable value. Assets that are deemed impaired as a result of such review are recorded at the lesser of carrying amount or fair value. NS is amortizing the excess of the purchase price paid for its investment in Conrail over its share of Conrail's net equity using the principles of purchase accounting, based primarily on the estimated remaining useful lives of Conrail's properties.

NS' depreciation expense is based on management's assumptions concerning service lives of its properties as well as the expected net salvage that will be received upon their retirement. These assumptions are the product of periodic depreciation studies that are performed by a firm of consulting engineers. These studies analyze NS' historical patterns of asset use and retirement and take into account any expected change in operation or maintenance practices. NS' recent experience with these studies has been that while they do result in changes in the rates used to depreciate its properties, these changes have not caused a significant effect to its annual depreciation expense. The studies may also indicate that the recorded amount of accumulated depreciation is deficient (or in excess) of the amount indicated by the study. Any such deficiency (or excess) is amortized as a component of depreciation expense over the remaining service lives of the affected class of property. NS' "Depreciation expense" for the year ended Dec. 31, 2002, amounted to $515 million. NS' weighted-average depreciation rates for 2002 are disclosed in Note 6; a one-tenth percentage point increase (or decrease) in these rates would result in a $17 million increase (or decrease) to NS' depreciation expense.

Personal Injury, Environmental and Legal Liabilities

NS' expense for "Casualties and other claims" amounted to $171 million for the year ended Dec. 31, 2002. Most of this expense was composed of NS' accrual related to personal injury liabilities (see discussion of FELA in the discussion captioned "Casualties and other claims" on page K23). NS engages an independent consulting actuarial firm to aid in valuing its personal injury liability and determining the amount to accrue during the year. The actuarial firm studies NS' historical patterns of reserving for claims and subsequent settlements. The actuary also takes into account outside influences considered pertinent. The study uses the results of these analyses to estimate the ultimate amount of the liability, which includes amounts for incurred but unasserted claims. NS has recorded this actuarially determined liability. The liability is dependent upon many individual judgments made as to the specific case reserves as well as the judgments of the consulting

K29

actuary and management in the periodic studies. Accordingly, there could be significant changes in the liability, which NS would recognize when such a change became known. The most recent actuarial study was performed as of June 30, 2002, and resulted in an increase to NS' personal injury liability during the third quarter. While the liability recorded is supported by the most recent study, it is reasonably possible that the liability could be higher or lower.

NS is subject to various jurisdictions' environmental laws and regulations. It is NS' policy to record a liability where such liability or loss is probable and its amount can be estimated reasonably (see Note 18). Environmental engineers regularly participate in ongoing evaluations of all known sites and in determining any necessary adjustments to liability estimates. NS also has established an Environmental Policy Council, composed of senior managers, to oversee and interpret its environmental policy.

Operating expenses for environmental matters totaled approximately $15 million in 2002, $12 million in 2001, and $11 million in 2000, and capital expenditures totaled approximately $10 million in each of 2002, 2001 and 2000. Capital expenditures in 2003 are expected to be comparable to those in 2002.

NS' balance sheets included liabilities for environmental exposures in the amount of $29 million at Dec. 31, 2002, and $33 million at Dec. 31, 2001 (of which $8 million was accounted for as a current liability in each year). At Dec. 31, 2002, the liability represented NS' estimate of the probable cleanup and remediation costs based on available information at 114 identified locations. On that date, 10 sites accounted for $16 million of the liability, and no individual site was considered to be material. NS anticipates that much of this liability will be paid out over five years; however, some costs will be paid out over a longer period.

At some of the 114 locations, certain NS subsidiaries, usually in conjunction with a number of other parties, have been identified as potentially responsible parties by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or similar state authorities under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, or comparable state statutes, which often impose joint and several liability for cleanup costs.

With respect to known environmental sites (whether identified by NS or by the EPA or comparable state authorities), estimates of NS' ultimate potential financial exposure for a given site or in the aggregate for all such sites are necessarily imprecise because of the widely varying costs of currently available cleanup techniques, the likely development of new cleanup technologies, the difficulty of determining in advance the nature and full extent of contamination and each potential participant's share of any estimated loss (and that participant's ability to bear it), and evolving statutory and regulatory standards governing liability. NS estimates its environmental remediation liability on a site-by-site basis, using assumptions and judgments that management deems appropriate for each site. As a result, it is not practical to quantitatively discuss the effects of changes in these many assumptions and judgments. NS has consistently applied its methodology of estimating its environmental liabilities.

The risk of incurring environmental liability – for acts and omissions, past, present and future – is inherent in the railroad business. Some of the commodities in NS' traffic mix, particularly those classified as hazardous materials, can pose special risks that NS and its subsidiaries work diligently to minimize. In addition, several NS subsidiaries own, or have owned, land used as operating property, or which is leased or may have been leased and operated by others, or held for sale. Because environmental problems may exist on these properties that are latent or undisclosed, there can be no assurance that NS will not incur environmentally related liabilities or costs with respect to one or more of them, the amount and materiality of which cannot be estimated reliably at this time. Moreover, lawsuits and claims involving these and potentially other now-unidentified environmental sites and matters are likely to arise from time to time. The resulting liabilities could have a significant effect on financial condition, results of operations or liquidity in a particular year or quarter.

However, based on its assessment of the facts and circumstances now known, management believes that it has recorded the probable costs for dealing with those environmental matters of which the Corporation is aware. Further, management believes that it is unlikely that any known matters, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on NS' financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

K30

Norfolk Southern and certain subsidiaries are defendants in numerous lawsuits and other claims relating principally to railroad operations. When management concludes that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, it is accrued through a charge to expenses. While the ultimate amount of liability incurred in any of these lawsuits and claims is dependent on future developments, in management's opinion the recorded liability, if any, is adequate to cover the future payment of such liability and claims. However, the final outcome of any of these lawsuits and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, and unfavorable or unexpected outcomes could result in additional accruals that could be significant to results of operations in a particular year or quarter. Any adjustments to recorded liability will be reflected in expenses in the periods in which such adjustments are known.

Income Taxes

NS' net deferred tax liability totaled $3,010 million at Dec. 31, 2002 (see Note 4). This liability is estimated based on the expected future tax consequences of items recognized in the financial statements. After application of the federal statutory tax rate to book income, judgment is required with respect to the timing and deductibility of expenses in the corporate income tax returns. For state income and other taxes, judgment is also required with respect to the apportionment among the various jurisdictions. A valuation allowance is recorded if management expects that it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will not be realized. NS has only a $24 million valuation allowance on $592 million of deferred tax assets as of Dec. 31, 2002, reflecting the expectation that most of these assets will be realized. For 2002, 2001 and 2000, the effective tax rates, excluding NS' equity in Conrail's earnings, were 38%, 38% and 34%, respectively. For every 1/2% change in the 2002 effective tax rate, net income would have changed by $4 million.

CONRAIL'S RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

Conrail's net income was $180 million in 2002, compared with $174 million in 2001 and $170 million in 2000 (see Note 2). The increase in 2002 was primarily the result of a favorable federal tax settlement. The improvement in 2001 reflected lower casualties and other claims expenses, a favorable adjustment to state income tax reserves and environmental and insurance settlements in Conrail's favor. These positive items were offset in part by the absence of significant gains from the sale of property.

Conrail's operating revenues were $893 million in 2002, $903 million in 2001 and $985 million in 2000. Both decreases resulted from the expiration of certain equipment leases and lower operating fees, largely because of reduced operating costs in the Shared Assets Areas. The decline in 2001 also reflected lower revenues at Conrail's Indiana Harbor Belt subsidiary.

Conrail's operating expenses were $623 million in 2002, $639 million in 2001 and $749 million in 2000. The decrease in 2002 reflected lower expenses for materials, services and rents and compensation and benefits, which were offset, in part, by higher costs for casualties and other claims. The decline in 2001 was primarily due to lower expenses for materials, services and rents; casualties and other claims; and compensation and benefits.

Conrail's cash provided by operations decreased $79 million, or 16%, in 2002, and increased $140 million, or 39%, in 2001. The decline in 2002 was primarily the result of the absence of two items that benefited 2001: a $50 million cash payment for transferring to a third party certain rights to license, manage and market signboard advertising on Conrail's property for 25 years and proceeds from a favorable insurance settlement. This was offset, in part, by favorable changes in working capital. The increase in 2001 was largely the result of the two unusual items discussed above. Cash generated from operations is Conrail's principal source of liquidity and is primarily used for debt repayments and capital expenditures. Debt repayments totaled $59 million in 2002 and $61 million in 2001. Capital expenditures totaled $23 million in 2002 and $47 million in 2001.

K31

Conrail had a working capital deficit of $29 million at Dec. 31, 2002, compared with working capital of $438 million at Dec. 31, 2001, which included $687 million of amounts receivable from NS and CSX. Conrail is not an SEC registrant and, therefore, presently cannot issue any publicly traded securities. Conrail is expected to have sufficient cash flow to meet its ongoing obligations.

NS' equity in earnings of Conrail, net of amortization, was $54 million in 2002, $44 million in 2001 and $21 million in 2000. NS' other comprehensive loss for 2002 and 2001, as shown in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders' Equity, included $34 million and $41 million, respectively, for its portion of Conrail's other comprehensive loss (see Note 13).

OTHER MATTERS

Telecommunications Subsidiary

NS' subsidiary, Thoroughbred Technology and Telecommunications, Inc. (T-Cubed), has developed fiber optic infrastructure with members of the telecommunications industry. This industry has experienced a severe downturn. As a result of changes in the values of telecommunications assets, T-Cubed is monitoring its carrying amount of these assets, as required by SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." To date, based on known facts and circumstances, management believes that its ultimate investment in these assets will be recovered, and accordingly, no impairment has been recognized (see Note 6).

During 2001, one of T-Cubed's codevelopers, 360networks (USA),inc. ("360"), filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and foreign laws. 360 owes T-Cubed amounts for work performed on certain joint projects; and T-Cubed owes 360 amounts for work performed on other joint projects. The bankruptcy judge has approved set-off of these amounts, leaving about $7 million due to T-Cubed from 360. T-Cubed has the right to collect this amount from any proceeds due 360 from the sale of joint assets. Management believes that it will collect this receivable.

T-Cubed is engaged in contract litigation with a second codeveloper, Williams Communications, LLC ("Williams Communications"), concerning the latter's obligation to purchase fiber optic infrastructure installed by T-Cubed between Cleveland, Ohio, and northern Virginia. On Jan. 29, 2003, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia entered an order requiring Williams Communications to pay T-Cubed the remaining amount due for such infrastructure, approximately $36 million, plus prejudgment interest at a rate of 9% per annum. Williams Communications may elect to appeal. The ability to collect and retain a judgment against Williams Communications may be limited due to its financial condition; however, the shortfall, if any, cannot now be determined. Its parent, Williams Communications Group, Inc., filed in April 2002 a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and emerged from bankruptcy in October 2002. Williams Communications was not included in the bankruptcy petition (see Note 18).

Labor Arbitration

Several hundred claims have been filed with NSR on behalf of employees furloughed after June 1, 1999, for various periods of time, alleging that the furloughs were a result of the Conrail transaction and seeking "New York Dock" income protection benefits. Several labor organizations have initiated arbitration on behalf of individual employees. Other disputes are pending wherein similar benefits are sought under labor agreement provisions that, in management's judgment, do not apply to the involved circumstances.

Based on known facts, including the availability of legal defenses, management believes that NS will prevail in these disputes and that any potential liability for the involved claims should not have a material adverse effect on NS' financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Depending on the outcome of these arbitrations, additional claims may be filed or progressed to arbitration. Should all such claimants prevail, there could be a significant effect on results of operations in a particular quarter (see Note 18).

K32

Labor Agreements

Approximately 24,000 of NS' railroad employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements with 15 different labor unions. These agreements remain in effect until changed pursuant to the Railway Labor Act. Moratorium provisions in these agreements permitted NS and the unions to propose such changes in late 1999; negotiations at the national level commenced shortly thereafter. The outcome of these negotiations is uncertain at this time. However, agreements have been reached with the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes (BMWE), which represents about 4,200 NS employees; the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers (BLE), which represents about 4,500 NS employees; the United Transportation Union (UTU), which represents about 6,700 NS employees; the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers and Blacksmiths (IBB), which represents about 100 NS employees; and the Transportation Communications International Union (TCU), which represents about 4,400 NS employees. Health and welfare issues have been resolved with BMWE and TCU. The UTU agreement provides that, subsequent to a further period of negotiation, health and welfare issues may be submitted to arbitration. Health and welfare issues with the other organizations have not yet been resolved.

Market Risks and Hedging Activities

NS uses derivative financial instruments to reduce the risk of volatility in its diesel fuel costs and to manage its overall exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.

In 2001, NS began a program to hedge a portion of its diesel fuel consumption. The intent of the program is to assist in the management of NS' aggregate risk exposure to fuel price fluctuations, which can significantly affect NS' operating margins and profitability, through the use of one or more types of derivative instruments.

Diesel fuel costs represented 7% of NS' operating expenses for 2002. The program provides that NS will not enter into any fuel hedges with a duration of more than 36 months, and that no more than 80% of NS' average monthly fuel consumption will be hedged for any month within any 36-month period.

As of Dec. 31, 2002, through swap transactions, NS has hedged approximately 62% of expected 2003 diesel fuel requirements. The effect of the hedges is to yield an average cost of 73 cents per hedged gallon, including federal taxes and transportation. A 10% decrease in diesel fuel prices would reduce NS' asset related to the swaps by approximately $30 million as of Dec. 31, 2002.

NS manages its overall exposure to fluctuations in interest rates by issuing both fixed- and floating-rate debt instruments and by entering into interest-rate hedging transactions to achieve an appropriate mix within its debt portfolio.

At Dec. 31, 2002, NS' debt subject to interest rate fluctuations totaled $784 million (excluding debt due to the PRR subsidiary). A 1% increase in interest rates would increase NS' total annual interest expense related to all its variable debt by approximately $8 million. Management considers it unlikely that interest rate fluctuations applicable to these instruments will result in a material adverse effect on NS' financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Some of NS' capital leases, which carry an average fixed rate of 7%, were effectively converted to variable rate obligations using interest rate swap agreements. On Dec. 31, 2002, the average pay rate under these agreements was 2.1%, and the average receive rate was 7%. During 2002, the effect of the swaps was to reduce interest expense by $9 million. A portion of the lease obligations is payable in Japanese yen. NS eliminated the associated exchange rate risk at the inception of each lease with a yen deposit sufficient to fund the yen-denominated obligation. Most of these deposits are held by foreign banks, primarily Japanese. As a result, NS is exposed to financial market risk relative to Japan. Counterparties to the interest rate swaps and Japanese banks holding yen deposits are major financial institutions believed by management to be creditworthy.

K33

New Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued Statement No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," (SFAS No. 143) which is effective Jan. 1, 2003, and addresses legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. In accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts for Railroad Companies (see Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49, Subtitle B, Chapter X, Part 1201), NS depreciates track structure (rail, other track material and ties) to its net salvage value (gross salvage less cost to remove). SFAS No. 143 prohibits the accrual of a liability for removal costs absent a legal obligation to remove the related asset. Management believes that there is no such legal obligation to remove track. The SEC staff has recently taken a position with a registrant in another industry that calls into question whether the use of net salvage that results in depreciating more than the cost basis of an asset (negative salvage) is appropriate once SFAS No. 143 becomes effective. NS is in the process of studying its track accounts to determine where current depreciation rates will result in negative salvage. To the extent that NS' accumulated depreciation includes such amounts, they will be removed. The cumulative effect of this catch-up adjustment will be recorded as a change in accounting principle in the first quarter of 2003. Going forward, this change will result in lower depreciation expense (because the depreciation rate will no longer reflect any negative salvage) and higher compensation and benefits expenses (for the labor cost to remove retired assets); NS does not expect that this will result in a material change to its total railway operating expenses.

The FASB has issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," (FIN No. 46), which addresses consolidation of certain variable interest entities (also commonly referred to as "special purpose entities"). NS adopted FIN No. 46, effective Jan 1, 2003. As a result, on that date NS consolidated a special-purpose entity that leases certain locomotives to NS (see Note 9). This entity has no other significant assets or liabilities other than the locomotives and the debt related to their purchase, which will be reflected on NS' Consolidated Balance Sheet in 2003. This change in reporting will also have the following effects to NS' Consolidated Income Statement beginning in 2003: operating lease expense will decline, and depreciation expense and interest expense on debt will increase. The net effect of these income statement changes is not significant. Adoption of FIN No. 46 did not have a significant effect on NS' financial position or liquidity.

Inflation

Generally accepted accounting principles require the use of historical cost in preparing financial statements. This approach disregards the effects of inflation on the replacement cost of property. NS, a capital-intensive company, has most of its capital invested in such assets. The replacement cost of these assets, as well as the related depreciation expense, would be substantially greater than the amounts reported on the basis of historical cost.

Trends

Federal Economic Regulation -- Efforts may be made in 2003 to reimpose unwarranted federal economic regulation on the rail industry. The Staggers Rail Act of 1980, which substantially reduced such regulation, encouraged and enabled rail carriers to innovate and to compete for business. NS and other rail carriers will oppose any efforts to reimpose unwarranted economic regulation.

Utility Deregulation -- Deregulation of the electrical utility industry is expected to increase competition among electric power generators; deregulation over time would permit wholesalers and possibly retailers of electric power to sell or purchase increasing quantities of power to or from distant parties. The effects of deregulation on NS and on its customers cannot be predicted with certainty; however, NS serves a number of efficient power producers who are expected to remain competitive in this evolving environment.

Carbon-Based Fuel -- There is growing concern in some quarters that emissions resulting from burning carbon-based fuel, including coal, are contributing to global warming and causing other environmental changes. To the extent that these concerns evolve into a consensus among policy-makers, the impact could be

K34

either a reduction in the demand for coal or imposition of more stringent regulations on emissions, which might result in making coal a less economical source of power generation or make permitting of coal-fired facilities even more difficult. The revenues and net income of NSR and other railroads that move large quantities of coal could be affected adversely.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that may be identified by the use of words like "believe," "expect," "anticipate" and "project." Forward-looking statements reflect management's good-faith evaluation of information currently available. However, such statements are dependent on and, therefore, can be influenced by, a number of external variables over which management has little or no control, including: domestic and international economic conditions; the business environment in industries that produce and consume rail freight; competition and consolidation within the transportation industry; fluctuation in prices of key materials, in particular diesel fuel; labor difficulties, including strikes and work stoppages; legislative and regulatory developments; changes in securities and capital markets; and natural events such as severe weather, floods and earthquakes. Forward-looking statements are not, and should not be relied upon as, a guaranty of future performance or results. Nor will they necessarily prove to be accurate indications of the times at or by which any such performance or results will be achieved. As a result, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements.

Report of Management

January 28, 2003

To the Stockholders

Norfolk Southern Corporation

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements included in this annual report. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reflect management's judgments and estimates concerning effects of events and transactions that are accounted for or disclosed.

Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. The Corporation's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to the Corporation's ability to record, process, summarize and report reliable financial data. Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of internal control. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.

In order to ensure that the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting is effective, management regularly assesses such controls and did so most recently for its financial reporting as of December 31, 2002. This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management believes the Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2002.

The Board of Directors, acting through its Audit Committee, is responsible for the oversight of the Corporation's accounting policies, financial reporting and internal control. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is comprised entirely of outside directors who are independent of management. The Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment and compensation of the independent auditor, and approves decisions regarding the appointment or removal of the Vice President-Internal Audit. It meets periodically with management, the independent auditors, and the internal auditors to ensure that they are carrying out their responsibilities. The Audit Committee is also responsible for performing an oversight role by reviewing and monitoring the financial, accounting and auditing procedures of the Corporation in addition to reviewing the Corporation's financial reports. The independent auditors and the internal auditors have full and unlimited access to the Audit Committee, with or without management, to discuss the adequacy of internal control over financial reporting, and any other matters which they believe should be brought to the attention of the Audit Committee.

KPMG LLP, independent auditors of the Corporation's financial statements, has reported on management's assertion with respect to the effectiveness of the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2002.

Independent Auditors' Report

The Stockholders and Board of Directors

Norfolk Southern Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Norfolk Southern Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2002. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the financial statement schedule as listed in Item 15(A)2. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Norfolk Southern Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL

OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Board of Directors

Norfolk Southern Corporation:

We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying Report of Management, that Norfolk Southern Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2002 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Norfolk Southern Corporation's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included obtaining an understanding of the internal control over financial reporting, testing, and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of the internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Because of inherent limitations in any internal control, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, management's assertion that Norfolk Southern Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2002 is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The following Notes are an integral part of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Norfolk Southern Corporation is a Virginia-based holding company engaged principally in the rail transportation business, operating approximately 21,500 route miles primarily in the East and Midwest. These consolidated financial statements include Norfolk Southern Corporation (Norfolk Southern) and its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries (collectively, NS). Norfolk Southern's major subsidiary is Norfolk Southern Railway Company (NSR). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The railroad transports raw materials, intermediate products and finished goods classified in the following market groups (percent of total railway operating revenues in 2002): coal (23%); automotive (15%); chemicals (12%); metals/construction (11%); agriculture/consumer products/government (10%); paper/clay/forest products (10%); and intermodal (19%). Ultimate points of origination or destination for some of the freight (particularly coal bound for export and intermodal containers) are outside the United States. Approximately 85% of NS' railroad employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements with 15 different labor unions.

Through a jointly owned entity, Norfolk Southern and CSX Corporation own the stock of Conrail Inc., which owns the major Northeast freight railroad. Norfolk Southern has a 58% economic and 50% voting interest in the jointly owned entity (see Note 2).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management reviews its estimates, including those related to the recoverability and useful lives of assets, as well as liabilities for litigation, environmental remediation, casualty claims, income taxes, and pension and postretirement benefits. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.

Cash Equivalents

"Cash equivalents" are highly liquid investments purchased three months or less from maturity.

Investments

Marketable equity and debt securities are reported at amortized cost or fair value, depending upon their classification as securities "held-to-maturity," "trading" or "available-for-sale." Unrealized gains and losses for investments designated as "available-for-sale," net of taxes, are recognized in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss."

Investments, where NS has the ability to exercise significant influence over but does not control the entity, are accounted for using the equity method in accordance with APB Opinion No. 18, "The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock."

K43

Materials and Supplies

"Materials and supplies," consisting mainly of fuel oil and items for maintenance of property and equipment, are stated at the lower of average cost or market. The cost of materials and supplies expected to be used in capital additions or improvements is included in "Properties."

Properties

"Properties" are stated principally at cost and are depreciated using group depreciation. Rail is depreciated primarily on the basis of use measured by gross ton-miles. Other properties are depreciated generally using the straight-line method over the lesser of estimated service or lease lives. NS capitalizes interest on major capital projects during the period of their construction. Expenditures, including those on leased assets, that extend an asset's useful life or increase its utility are capitalized. Maintenance expense is recognized when repairs are performed. When properties other than land and nonrail assets are sold or retired in the ordinary course of business, the cost of the assets, net of sale proceeds or salvage, is charged to accumulated depreciation rather than recognized through income. Gains and losses on disposal of land and nonrail assets are included in "Other income - net" (see Note 3).

NS reviews the carrying amount of properties whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such carrying amount may not be recoverable based on future undiscounted cash flows or estimated net realizable value. Assets that are deemed impaired as a result of such review are recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized proportionally as a shipment moves from origin to destination. Refunds are recorded as a reduction to revenues based on management's best estimate of projected liability.

Derivatives

NS does not engage in the trading of derivatives. NS uses derivative financial instruments to reduce the risk of volatility in its diesel fuel costs and in the management of its mix of fixed and floating-rate debt. Management has determined that these derivative instruments qualify as either fair-value or cash-flow hedges, having values that highly correlate with the underlying hedged exposures and have designated such instruments as hedging transactions. Income and expense related to the derivative financial instruments is recorded in the same category as generated by the underlying asset or liability. Credit risk related to the derivative financial instruments is considered to be minimal and is managed by requiring high credit standards for counterparties and periodic settlements.

Stock-based Compensation

NS has stock-based employee compensation plans, which are more fully described in Note 12. NS applies the intrinsic value recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB Opinion No. 25), and related interpretations in accounting for these plans.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if NS had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123), to stock-based employee compensation:

Required Accounting Changes

The adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which was effective Jan. 1, 2002, did not have a material effect on NS' consolidated financial statements.

2. Investment in Conrail and Operations Over Its Lines

Overview

Through a limited liability company, Norfolk Southern and CSX Corporation (CSX) jointly own Conrail Inc. (Conrail), whose primary subsidiary is Consolidated Rail Corporation (CRC), the major freight railroad in the Northeast. NS has a 58% economic and 50% voting interest in the jointly owned entity, and CSX has the remainder of the economic and voting interests. From time to time, Norfolk Southern and CSX, as the indirect owners of Conrail, may have to make capital contributions, loans or advances to Conrail under the terms of the Transaction Agreement among NS, CSX and Conrail.

Operation of Conrail's Lines

Norfolk Southern's railroad subsidiary, Norfolk Southern Railway Company (NSR), operates as a part of its rail system the routes and assets of Pennsylvania Lines LLC (PRR), a wholly owned subsidiary of CRC, pursuant to operating and lease agreements. CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT) operates the routes and assets of another CRC subsidiary under comparable terms.

The Operating Agreement between NSR and PRR governs substantially all nonequipment assets to be operated by NSR and has an initial 25-year term, renewable at the option of NSR for two five-year terms. Payments under the Operating Agreement are subject to adjustment every six years to reflect changes in values. NSR also has leased or subleased for varying terms from PRR a number of equipment assets. Costs necessary to operate and maintain the PRR assets, including leasehold improvements, are borne by NSR. NSR receives all freight revenues on the PRR lines.

NSR and CSXT also have entered into agreements with CRC governing other properties that continue to be owned and operated by CRC (the Shared Assets Areas). NSR and CSXT pay CRC a fee for joint and exclusive access to the Shared Assets Areas. In addition, NSR and CSXT pay, based on usage, the costs incurred by CRC to operate the Shared Assets Areas.

K45

Future minimum lease payments due to PRR under the Operating Agreement and lease agreements and to CRC under the Shared Assets Areas (SAA) agreements are as follows:

	PRR Oper.		PRR Lease		SAA
	Agmt.		Agmt.		Agmts.
	($ in millions)

2003	$	217	$	116	$	30
2004		238		94		32
2005		246		74		33
2006		246		60		34
2007		246		48		34
2008 and subsequent years		4,285		129		585
Total	$	5,478	$	521	$	748

Operating lease expense related to the agreements, which is included in "Conrail rents and services," amounted to $468 million in 2002, $467 million in 2001 and $502 million in 2000.

Investment in Conrail

NS is applying the equity method of accounting to its investment in Conrail in accordance with APB Opinion No. 18, "The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock." NS is amortizing the excess of the purchase price over Conrail's net equity using the principles of purchase accounting, based primarily on the estimated remaining useful lives of Conrail's depreciable property and equipment, including the related deferred tax effect of the differences in tax and accounting bases for certain assets. At Dec. 31, 2002, the difference between NS' investment in Conrail and its share of Conrail's underlying net equity was $3.7 billion.

NS' consolidated balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2002, includes $60 million of liabilities related to the Conrail transaction, principally for contractual obligations to Conrail employees imposed by the Surface Transportation Board when it approved the transaction. Through Dec. 31, 2002, NS had paid $143 million of such costs.

Related-Party Transactions

NS provides certain general and administrative support functions to Conrail, the fees for which are billed in accordance with several service-provider arrangements and totaled $7 million in 2002, $6 million in 2001 and $7 million in 2000.

"Conrail rents and services" includes: (1) expenses for amounts due to PRR and CRC for use by NSR of operating properties and equipment and operation of the Shared Assets Areas and (2) NS' equity in the earnings of Conrail, net of amortization.

A significant portion of payments made to PRR is borrowed back from a subsidiary of PRR. Previously, these loans were made under a demand note; however, in the first quarter of 2002, the subsidiary of PRR exchanged this demand note for a new note due in 2032. As a result, borrowings owed to the subsidiary of PRR now comprise the noncurrent balance "Due to Conrail." The interest rate for these loans is variable and was 1.82% at Dec. 31, 2002. The current balance "Due to Conrail" at Dec. 31, 2002, is composed of amounts related to expenses included in "Conrail rents and services," as discussed above. At Dec. 31, 2001, the current balance "Due to Conrail" included $72 million of such amounts and $301 million of advances owed under the previous demand note.

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities

Certain items are reported in different periods for financial reporting and income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in recognition of these differences.

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are as follows:

	December 31,
	2002		2001
	($ in millions)
Deferred tax assets:
Reserves, including casualty and other claims	$	178	$	158
Employee benefits		26		75

Net current deferred tax asset		187		162

Net long-term deferred tax liability	$	(3,010)	$	(2,781)

Except for amounts for which a valuation allowance has been provided, management believes the other deferred tax assets will be realized. The total valuation allowance increased $6 million in 2002, $6 million in 2001 and $3 million in 2000.

K49

Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Reviews

Consolidated federal income tax returns have been examined and Revenue Agent Reports have been received for all years up to and including 1996. The consolidated federal income tax returns for 1997, 1998 and 1999 are being audited by the IRS. Management believes that adequate provision has been made for any additional taxes and interest thereon that might arise as a result of IRS examinations.

5. Accounts Receivable

In May 2000, a bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary of NS began selling without recourse undivided ownership interests in a pool of accounts receivable. Upon commencement of this program, NS received cash proceeds of $460 million. The buyers have a priority collection interest in the entire pool of receivables and, as a result, NS has retained credit risk to the extent the pool of receivables exceeds the amount sold. NS services and collects the receivables on behalf of the buyers; however, no servicing asset or liability has been recognized because the benefits of servicing are estimated to be just adequate to compensate NS for its responsibilities. Payments collected from sold receivables can be reinvested in new accounts receivable on behalf of the buyers. Should NS' credit rating drop below investment grade, the buyers have the right to discontinue this reinvestment.

Accounts receivable sold under this arrangement, and therefore not included in "Accounts receivable, net" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, were $30 million at Dec. 31, 2002, and $300 million at Dec. 31, 2001. The fees associated with the sale, which are based on the buyers' financing costs, are included in "Other income – net" (see Note 3). NS' retained interest, which is included in "Accounts receivable, net," is recorded at fair value using estimates of dilution based on NS' historical experience. These estimates are adjusted regularly based on NS' actual experience with the pool, including defaults and credit deterioration. NS has historically experienced very low levels of default. If historical dilution percentages were to increase one percentage point, the value of NS' retained interest would be reduced by approximately $5 million.

NS' allowance for doubtful accounts was $5 million at Dec. 31, 2002, and Dec. 31, 2001.

6. Properties

Included in properties is approximately $110 million of telecommunications assets consisting of fiber optic conduit. NS evaluated the recoverability of these assets at Dec. 31, 2002, and based on known facts and circumstances, management believes that its investment in these assets will be recovered.

Railway property includes $480 million at Dec. 31, 2002 and $474 million at Dec. 31, 2001, of assets recorded pursuant to capital leases. Other property includes the costs of obtaining rights to natural resources of $341 million at Dec. 31, 2002 and 2001.

Capitalized Interest

Total interest cost incurred on debt in 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $529 million, $570 million and $569 million, respectively, of which $11 million, $17 million and $18 million was capitalized.

Each holder of a 2037 note may require NS to redeem all or part of the note at face value, plus accrued and unpaid interest, on May 1, 2004.

The railroad equipment obligations and the capitalized leases are secured by liens on the underlying equipment.

Certain lease obligations require the maintenance of yen-denominated deposits, which are pledged to the lessor to satisfy yen-denominated lease payments. These deposits are included in "Other assets" on the balance sheet and totaled $86 million at Dec. 31, 2002, and $78 million at Dec. 31, 2001.

Shelf Registration

NS filed on Form S-3 a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the issuance of up to $1 billion of securities. As of Dec. 31, 2002, NS had issued a total of $550 million of notes under this shelf registration.

Commercial Paper and Credit Agreement

NS has the ability to issue commercial paper backed by a $1 billion credit agreement that expires in 2006. At Dec. 31, 2002, and Dec. 31, 2001, NS had no commercial paper outstanding. Any borrowings under the credit agreement are contingent on the continuing effectiveness of the representations and warranties made at the inception of the agreement.

Debt Covenants

NS is subject to various financial covenants with respect to its debt and under its credit agreement, including a minimum net worth requirement, a maximum leverage ratio restriction and certain restrictions on issuance of further debt. At Dec. 31, 2002, NS was in compliance with all debt covenants.

9. Lease Commitments

NS is committed under long-term lease agreements, which expire on various dates through 2067, for equipment, lines of road and other property. The following amounts do not include payments to PRR under the Operating Agreement and lease agreements or to CRC under the SAA agreements (see Note 2). Future minimum lease payments and operating lease expense, other than to PRR and CRC, are as follows:

During 2000, NS entered into an operating lease for 140 locomotives, which is renewable annually at NS' option, has a maximum term of eight years and includes purchase options. Because the fixed, noncancellable term of the lease is one year, future minimum lease payments in the table above do not include amounts related to this lease. However, operating lease expense in the table above does include amounts related to this lease as follows: $13 million in 2002, $18 million in 2001 and $11 million in 2000. If NS does not renew the lease during the eight-year period or does not purchase the locomotives at the end of the maximum lease term, it is liable for any shortfall in the then fair value of the locomotives and a specified residual value. NS does not expect to be required to make any payments under this provision. As of Dec. 31, 2002, the maximum liability under this provision, assuming NS chose not to renew the lease in 2003 and the then fair value of the locomotives was zero, would be $116 million. The lessor is a special-purpose entity whose activities are limited to those incident to this particular transaction. Upon adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," which will occur in 2003, NS will consolidate this entity. As a result, the locomotives will be shown as assets, debt will increase, operating lease expense will decline, depreciation expense will increase and interest expense on debt will increase.

Norfolk Southern and certain subsidiaries have both funded and unfunded defined benefit pension plans covering principally salaried employees. Norfolk Southern and certain subsidiaries also provide specified health care and death benefits to eligible retired employees and their dependents. Under the present plans, which may be amended or terminated at NS' option, a defined percentage of health care expenses is covered, reduced by any deductibles, copayments, Medicare payments and, in some cases, coverage provided under other group insurance policies.

Of the pension plans included above, the unfunded pension plans were the only plans with an accumulated benefit obligation in excess of plan assets. These plans' accumulated benefit obligations were $82 million at Dec. 31, 2002, and $79 million at Dec. 31, 2001. These plans' projected benefit obligations were $94 million at Dec. 31, 2002 and $89 million at Dec. 31, 2001. Because of the nature of such plans, there are no plan assets.

NS received Section 401(h) account transfers, from pension assets, of $18 million in 2002 and $14 million in 2001 as reimbursement for medical payments for retirees.

Legislative changes primarily resulting from the December 2001 amendment to the Railroad Retirement Act ("The Act") increased benefits payable to certain retirees covered by The Act. Since employees' pension benefits paid by NS are offset by a portion of benefits paid under The Act, the amendment served to reduce NS' obligation by approximately $19 million at Dec. 31, 2001.

During 2001, NS amended its qualified and nonqualified pension plans to enhance benefits to certain NS employees. The amendments increased the pension benefit obligation by $6 million at Dec. 31, 2001. During 2000, NS amended its qualified pension plan to allow for the payment of qualifying disability benefits.

Pension Assumptions

Pension and other postretirement benefit costs are determined based on actuarial valuations that reflect appropriate assumptions as of the measurement date, ordinarily the beginning of each year. The funded status of the plans is determined using appropriate assumptions as of each year end. A summary of the major assumptions follows:

	2002	2001	2000
*Funded status:*
Discount rate	6.75%	7.25%	7.50%
Future salary increases	4.5%	5%	5%
*Pension cost:*
Discount rate	7.25%	7.50%	7.75%
Return on assets in plans	9%	10%	10%
Future salary increases	5%	5%	5%

Health Care Cost Trend Assumptions

For measurement purposes, increases in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits were assumed to be 10% for 2003 and 9% for 2004. It is assumed the rate will decrease gradually to an ultimate rate of 5.0% for 2008 and remain at that level thereafter.

Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported in the financial statements. To illustrate, a one-percentage-point change in the assumed health care cost trend would have the following effects:

	One percentage point

Other Postretirement Coverage

Under collective bargaining agreements, NS and certain subsidiaries participate in a multi-employer benefit plan, which provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to eligible union employees. Premiums under this plan are expensed as incurred and amounted to $11 million in 2002, $10 million in 2001 and $7 million in 2000.

401(k) Plans

Norfolk Southern and certain subsidiaries provide 401(k) savings plans for employees. Under the plans, NS matches a portion of employee contributions, subject to applicable limitations. Since 1999, NS has contributed newly issued shares of Common Stock for its matching contributions. NS' expenses under these plans were $12 million in 2002, $11 million in 2001 and $12 million in 2000.

Early Retirement Programs in 2000

During 2000, NS offered two voluntary early retirement programs to its salaried employees. The principal incentives offered in these programs were enhanced pension benefits, the cost for most of which will be paid from NS' overfunded pension plan. A February program was accepted by 919 of 1,180 eligible employees, and a December program was accepted by 370 of 846 eligible employees. The total cost of these programs, which is included in "Compensation and benefits," was $133 million. The resulting noncash reduction to NS' pension plan asset is included in "Other - net" in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

12. Stock-based Compensation

Under the stockholder-approved Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP), a committee of nonemployee directors of the Board may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock and performance share units (PSUs), up to a maximum 88,025,000 shares of Norfolk Southern Common Stock (Common Stock). Of these shares, 5,000,000 were approved by the Board for issuance to non-officer participants; as a broadly based issuance, stockholder approval was not required. Under the Board-approved Thoroughbred Stock Option Plan (TSOP), the committee may grant stock options up to a maximum of 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Options may be granted for a term not to exceed 10 years, but may not be exercised prior to the first anniversary of the date of grant. Options are exercisable at the fair market value of Common Stock on the date of grant.

The LTIP also permits the payment –- on a current or a deferred basis and in cash or in stock -– of dividend equivalents on shares of Common Stock covered by options or PSUs in an amount commensurate with dividends paid on Common Stock. Tax absorption payments also are authorized in amounts estimated to equal the federal and state income taxes applicable to shares of Common Stock issued subject to a share retention agreement.

Accounting Method

As disclosed in Note 1, NS applies APB Opinion 25 and related interpretations in accounting for awards made under the plans. Accordingly, grants of PSUs, restricted stock, dividend equivalents, tax absorption payments and SARs result in charges to net income, while grants of stock options have no effect on net income. Related compensation costs were $23 million in 2002, $20 million in 2001 and $5 million in 2000. NS recognized additional paid-in capital of $6 million in 2002, $1 million in 2001 and zero in 2000 related to the tax benefit generated by stock option exercises.

Note 1 includes a table that illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share had NS applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation. The pro forma amounts include compensation costs calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with average expected option lives of five years; average risk-free interest rates of 4.6% in 2002, 5.1% in 2001 and 6.8% in

K56

2000; average stock-price volatilities of 32% in 2002, 39% in 2001 and 33% in 2000; and dividend yields of zero in 2002, 2% in 2001 and 3% in 2000. These assumptions produced per-share grant-date fair values of $8.26 in 2002, $5.48 in 2001, and $5.22 in 2000.

There are no adjustments to "Net income" or "Income from continuing operations" for the diluted earnings per share computations.

15. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The fair values of "Cash and cash equivalents," "Short-term investments," "Accounts receivable" and "Accounts payable" approximate carrying values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of corporate-owned life insurance approximates carrying value. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values for the remaining financial instruments, excluding derivatives (see Note 16) and investments accounted for under the equity method in accordance with APB Opinion No. 18, consisted of the following at Dec. 31:

	2002				2001
	Carrying		Fair		Carrying		Fair
	Amount		Value		Amount		Value
	($ in millions)
Investments	$	30	$	39	$	44	$	51
Notes receivable		93		104		93		98
Long-term debt		(7,364)		(8,412)		(7,632)		(8,067)

Quoted market prices were used to determine the fair value of marketable securities; underlying net assets were used to estimate the fair value of other investments. The fair values of notes receivable are based on future discounted cash flows. The fair values of debt were estimated based on quoted market prices or discounted cash flows using current interest rates for debt with similar terms, company rating and remaining maturity.

K60

Carrying amounts of marketable securities reflect unrealized holding gains of $1 million on Dec. 31, 2002, and $10 million on Dec. 31, 2001. Sales of "available-for-sale" securities were immaterial for the years ended Dec. 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000.

16. Derivative Financial Instruments

On Jan. 1, 2001, NS adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133), as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities" (SFAS 138). The Statements establish accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities, requiring that all derivatives be recognized in the financial statements as either assets or liabilities and that they be measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded as adjustments to the assets or liabilities being hedged in "Other comprehensive income," or in current earnings, depending on whether the derivative is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting, the type of hedge transaction represented and the effectiveness of the hedge.

NS uses derivative financial instruments to reduce the risk of volatility in its diesel fuel costs and to manage its overall exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. NS does not engage in the trading of derivatives. Management has determined that its derivative financial instruments qualify as either fair-value or cash-flow hedges, having values that highly correlate with the underlying hedged exposures, and has designated such instruments as hedging transactions. Credit risk related to the derivative financial instruments is considered to be minimal and is managed by requiring high credit standards for counterparties and periodic settlements.

Diesel Fuel Hedging

In the second quarter of 2001, NS began a program to hedge a portion of its diesel fuel consumption. The intent of the program is to assist in the management of NS' aggregate risk exposure to fuel price fluctuations, which can significantly affect NS' operating margins and profitability. In order to minimize this risk, NS instituted a continuous hedging strategy for a portion of its estimated future fuel needs by entering into a series of swaps in order to lock in the purchase prices of some of its diesel fuel. Management has designated these derivative instruments as cash-flow hedges of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows attributable to fluctuations in diesel fuel prices.

Following is a summary of NS' diesel fuel swaps:

		2002	2001
Number of swaps entered into during the year		288	222
Approximate number of gallons hedged (millions)		393	370
Approximate average price per gallon of Nymex
No. 2 heating oil		$0.66	$0.68

	2003	2004	2005
Percent of estimated future diesel fuel consumption covered as of Dec. 31, 2002	62%	22%	--

Hedges are placed each month by competitive bid among selected counterparties. The goal of this hedging strategy is to average fuel costs over an extended period of time while minimizing the incremental cost of hedging. The program provides that NS will not enter into any fuel hedges with a duration of more than 36 months, and that no more than 80% of NS' average monthly fuel consumption will be hedged for each month within any 36-month period. Diesel fuel costs represented 7%, 8% and 9% of NS' operating expenses for the years ended Dec. 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

K61

In 2001, NS also purchased eight monthly call options at a strike price of 84 cents per gallon of Nymex No. 2 heating oil. The cost of the monthly options, which expired serially through Dec. 31, 2001, was amortized as a component of diesel fuel expense. Because the price of diesel fuel did not reach the strike price at any time during the period the options were outstanding, NS did not record any benefit related to these transactions.

NS' fuel hedging activity resulted in a net decrease in 2002 diesel fuel expense of $10 million and a net increase in 2001 diesel fuel expense of $8 million. Ineffectiveness related to the use of diesel fuel hedges in 2002 and 2001 was less than $1 million for each year.

Interest Rate Hedging

NS manages its overall exposure to fluctuations in interest rates by issuing both fixed and floating-rate debt instruments, and by entering into interest rate hedging transactions. NS had $220 million, or 3.2%, and $251 million, or 3.5%, of its fixed rate debt portfolio hedged at Dec. 31, 2002, and Dec. 31, 2001, respectively, using interest rate swaps that qualify for and are designated as fair-value hedge transactions. These swaps have been effective in hedging the changes in fair value of the related debt arising from changes in interest rates and, accordingly, there has been no impact on earnings resulting from ineffectiveness associated with these derivative transactions.

Fair Values

The fair values of NS' diesel fuel derivative instruments at Dec. 31, 2002 and 2001, were determined based upon current fair market values as quoted by third party dealers. Fair values of interest rate swaps were determined based upon the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the appropriate implied spot rate from the spot rate yield curve. Fair value adjustments are noncash transactions and, accordingly, are excluded from the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. "Accumulated other comprehensive loss," a component of "Stockholders' equity," included $29 million (pretax) at Dec. 31, 2002, relating to an increase, and $15 million (pretax) at Dec. 31, 2001, relating to a decrease in the fair value of derivative fuel hedging transactions that will terminate within 12 months.

The asset and liability positions of NS' outstanding derivative financial instruments were as follows:

	December 31,

	($ in millions)
Interest rate hedges:
Gross fair market asset position	$	24	$	12

17. Discontinued Operations - Motor Carrier

On March 28, 1998, NS sold all the common stock of North American Van Lines, Inc. (NAVL), its motor carrier subsidiary. Results in 2001 include an additional after-tax gain of $13 million, or 3 cents per share, that resulted from the expiration of certain indemnities contained in the sales agreement.

18. Commitments and Contingencies

Lawsuits

Norfolk Southern and certain subsidiaries are defendants in numerous lawsuits and other claims relating principally to railroad operations. When management concludes that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, it is accrued through a charge to expenses. While the ultimate amount of liability incurred in any of these lawsuits and claims is dependent on future developments, in management's opinion the recorded liability is adequate to cover the future payment of such liability. However, the final outcome of any of these lawsuits and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, and unfavorable or unexpected outcomes could result in additional accruals that could be significant to results of operations in a particular year or quarter. Any adjustments to the recorded liability will be reflected in expenses in the periods in which such adjustments are known.

Presently, there are two matters, one involving labor arbitration and other claims for "New York Dock" and other income protection benefits and the other involving contractual obligations of a fiber optic codeveloper, Williams Communications, LLC ("Williams Communications"), where the aggregated range of loss could be from zero to $75 million. Management believes that NS will prevail in both these matters. On January 29, 2003, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia entered an order requiring Williams Communications to pay T-Cubed approximately $36 million, plus prejudgment interest at a rate of 9% per annum, in connection with its contractual obligations to T-Cubed. Williams Communications may elect to appeal. The ability to collect and retain the $36 million receivable due from Williams Communications may be limited because of its financial condition. The shortfall, if any, cannot now be determined. Its parent, Williams Communications Group, Inc., filed in April 2002 a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and emerged from bankruptcy in October 2002. Williams Communications was not included in the bankruptcy petition. Unfavorable outcomes in either of these matters could result in accruals that could be significant to results of operations in a particular year or quarter.

Casualty Claims

NS is generally self-insured for casualty claims. Claims in excess of self-insurance levels are insured up to excess coverage limits. The casualty claims liability is determined actuarially, based upon claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. While the ultimate amount of claims incurred is dependent on future developments, in management's opinion, the recorded liability is adequate to cover the future payments of claims. However, it is possible that the recorded liability may not be adequate to cover the future payment of claims. Adjustments to the recorded liability will be reflected in operating expenses in the periods in which such adjustments are known.

Environmental Matters

NS is subject to various jurisdictions' environmental laws and regulations. It is NS' policy to record a liability where such liability or loss is probable and its amount can be estimated reasonably. Claims, if any, against third parties for recovery of cleanup costs incurred by NS are reflected as receivables in the balance sheet and are not netted against the associated NS liability. Environmental engineers regularly participate in ongoing evaluations of all identified sites and in determining any necessary adjustments to initial liability estimates. NS also has established an Environmental Policy Council, composed of senior managers, to oversee and interpret its environmental policy.

K63

The risk of incurring environmental liability – for acts and omissions, past, present and future – is inherent in the railroad business. Some of the commodities in NS' traffic mix, particularly those classified as hazardous materials, can pose special risks that NS and its subsidiaries work diligently to minimize. In addition, several NS subsidiaries own, or have owned, land used as operating property, or which is leased or may have been leased and operated by others, or held for sale. Because environmental problems may exist on these properties that are latent or undisclosed, there can be no assurance that NS will not incur environmentally related liabilities or costs with respect to one or more of them, the amount and materiality of which cannot be estimated reliably at this time. Moreover, lawsuits and claims involving these and other now-unidentified environmental sites and matters are likely to arise from time to time. The resulting liabilities could have a significant effect on financial condition, results of operations or liquidity in a particular year or quarter.

However, based on its assessment of the facts and circumstances now known, management believes that it has recorded the probable costs for dealing with those environmental matters of which the Corporation is aware. Further, management believes that it is unlikely that any identified matters, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on NS' financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Purchase Commitments

NSR had outstanding purchase commitments of approximately $164 million in connection with its 2003 capital program. In addition, Norfolk Southern has committed to purchase telecommunications services totaling $38 million through 2006.

Change-In-Control Arrangements

Norfolk Southern has compensation agreements with officers and certain key employees that become operative only upon a change in control of the Corporation, as defined in those agreements. The agreements provide generally for payments based on compensation at the time of a covered individual's involuntary or other specified termination and for certain other benefits.

Guarantees

In a number of instances, NS and its subsidiaries have agreed to indemnify lenders for additional costs they may bear as a result of certain changes in laws or regulations applicable to their loans. Such changes may include impositions or modifications with respect to taxes, duties, reserves, liquidity, capital adequacy, special deposits, and similar requirements relating to extensions of credit by, deposits with, or the assets or liabilities of such lenders. Similar provisions exist in NS' accounts receivable sales program. The nature and timing of changes in laws or regulations applicable to NS' financings are inherently unpredictable, and therefore NS' exposure in connection with the foregoing indemnifications cannot be quantified. No liability has been recorded related to these indemnifications. In the case of one type of equipment financing, NSR's Japanese leveraged leases, NSR may terminate the leases and ancillary agreements if such a change-in-law indemnity is triggered. Such a termination would require NSR to make early termination payments that would not be expected to have a material adverse effect on NS' financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

K64

NS has indemnified parties in a number of transactions for U.S. income tax withholding imposed as a result of changes in U.S. tax law. In all cases, NS has the right to unwind the related transaction if the withholding cannot be avoided in the future. Because these indemnities would be triggered and are dependent upon a change in the tax law, the maximum exposure is not quantifiable. Management does not believe that it is likely that it will be required to make any payments under these indemnities.

Norfolk Southern has indemnified the purchaser of North American Van Lines, Inc. (see Note 17) for tax liabilities related to tax years ended on or before the date of sale. The maximum exposure is not quantifiable; however, NS has recorded a reserve for its expected liability under this indemnification. It is unlikely that any additional payments would have a material adverse effect on NS' financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

NS has outstanding warranty liabilities primarily related to work performed at its locomotive facilities. NS has recorded a reserve of less than $2 million as of Dec. 31, 2002 and 2001 for these warranties.

As of Dec. 31, 2002, certain Norfolk Southern subsidiaries are contingently liable as guarantors with respect to $8 million of indebtedness of an entity in which it has an ownership interest, the Terminal Railroad Association of St. Louis, due in 2019. Six other railroads are also jointly and severally liable as guarantors for this indebtedness. No liability has been recorded related to this guaranty.

NS is liable for any shortfall in the then fair market value of certain leased locomotives and a specified residual value for the locomotives if the leases are not renewed, as discussed in Note 9.

Norfolk Southern Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP")

Established on June 28, 1983, and approved by the stockholders at their Annual Meetings on May 10, 1984, on May 11, 1995, and most recently on May 10, 2001, LTIP was adopted to promote the success of Norfolk Southern by providing an opportunity for officers and other key employees to acquire a proprietary interest in the Corporation. On January 23, 2001, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of an additional 5,000,000 shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock under LTIP to participants who are not officers of Norfolk Southern. The issuance of these shares was broadly-based, and stockholder approval of these shares was not required. Accordingly, this portion of LTIP is included in the number of securities available for future issuance for plans not approved by stockholders. The Board also adopted an amended plan effective January 23, 2001, subject to stockholder approval, which included the reservation for issuance of an additional 30,000,000 shares of authorized but unissued Norfolk Southern Common Stock, with no more than 6 million of such additional shares to be awarded as restricted shares or performance shares (including performance share units earned as performance shares). This amended plan was approved by stockholders on May 10, 2001, resulting in an aggregate of 74,878,604 shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under LTIP.

Non-employee directors, officers and other key employees residing in the United States or Canada are eligible for selection to receive LTIP awards. Under LTIP, the Performance-Based Compensation Committee (Committee) may grant incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares and performance share units (in addition, dividend equivalents may be awarded for options and performance share units). The Committee may establish such terms and conditions for the awards as provided in the plan.

K67

For options, the option price per share will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of Norfolk Southern's Common Stock on the effective date the option is granted. All options are subject to a vesting period of at least one year, and the term of the option will not exceed ten years. LTIP specifically prohibits option repricing without stockholder approval, except for capital adjustments.

Performance share units are performance-based awards which are earned upon achievement of goals the Committee establishes at the time of the grant for three equally weighted performance criteria approved by the stockholders -- return on average invested capital, operating ratio, and total return to NS stockholders as compared with the total return on all stocks comprising the S&P 500 Composite Stock Price Index -- and the units may be payable as shares of Norfolk Southern Common Stock or in cash.

Norfolk Southern Corporation Thoroughbred Stock Option Plan

The Board adopted the Norfolk Southern Corporation Thoroughbred Stock Option Plan ("TSOP") on January 26, 1999, to promote the success of Norfolk Southern by providing an opportunity for nonagreement employees to acquire a proprietary interest in Norfolk Southern and thereby to provide an additional incentive to nonagreement employees to devote their maximum efforts and skills to the advancement, betterment, and prosperity of Norfolk Southern and its stockholders. The plan has not been approved by stockholders. Six million shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock were reserved for issuance under TSOP.

Active full-time nonagreement employees residing in the United States or Canada are eligible for selection to receive TSOP awards. Under TSOP, the Compensation and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors may grant nonqualified stock options and may establish such terms and conditions as provided in the plan.

The option price per share will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of Norfolk Southern's Common Stock on the effective date the option is granted. All options are subject to a vesting period of at least one year, and the term of the option will not exceed ten years. TSOP specifically prohibits option repricing without stockholder approval, except for capital adjustments.

Norfolk Southern Corporation Directors' Restricted Stock Plan

The Norfolk Southern Corporation Directors' Restricted Stock Plan ("Plan") was adopted on January 1, 1994, and is designed to increase ownership of Norfolk Southern's Common Stock by its non-employee directors so as to further align their ownership interest in Norfolk Southern with that of stockholders. The Plan has not been approved by stockholders. Currently, a maximum of 66,000 shares of Corporation Common Stock may be granted under the Plan. To make the grants to eligible directors, Norfolk Southern purchases, through one or more subsidiary companies, the number of shares required in open-market transactions at prevailing market prices, or makes such grants from Common Stock already owned by one or more of Norfolk Southern's subsidiary companies.

Only non-employee directors, who are not and never have been employees of Norfolk Southern, are eligible to participate in the Plan. Upon becoming a director, each eligible director receives a one-time grant of 3,000 restricted shares of Norfolk Southern Common Stock. No individual member of the Board exercises discretion concerning the eligibility of any director or the number of shares granted.

The restriction period begins on the date of the grant and ends on the earlier of six months after the eligible director ceases to be a director by reason of disability, retirement or death. Directors will forfeit the right to receive the restricted shares if they cease to serve as a director of Norfolk Southern for reasons other than their disability, retirement or death.

K68

Norfolk Southern Corporation Safety Incentive Plan

The Norfolk Southern Corporation Safety Incentive Plan ("SIP") is designed to provide an additional incentive for eligible agreement employees to work safely. Under the plan, eligible employees who work without injury during the year receive a safety award payable in shares of Norfolk Southern Common Stock. A SIP award is between five and eight shares of stock.

SIP is broadly-based and has not been approved by stockholders. Shares of Common Stock issued under its terms are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, pursuant to a no-action letter issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 20, 1992. Accordingly, SIP does not define a specific amount of authorized shares for issuance under the plan. The Board has approved using up to 500,000 authorized but unissued shares for awards under the plan, and the number of shares remaining under this authorization are included in the number of securities available for future issuance for plans not approved by shareholders.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

In accordance with General Instruction G(3), information called for by Part III is incorporated herein by reference from the information appearing under the caption "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" in Norfolk Southern's definitive Proxy Statement, for the Norfolk Southern Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 8, 2003, which definitive Proxy Statement will be filed electronically with the Commission pursuant to Regulation 14A.

Item 14. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

NS' Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of NS' disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of this annual report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, NS' disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them on a timely basis to material information relating to NS (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in NS' periodic filings under the Exchange Act.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls.

Since the Evaluation Date, there have not been any significant changes in NS' internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect such controls.

                         NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORPORATION

               Outside Directors' Deferred Stock Unit Program


     I.    Effective Date:  May 9, 1996 (effective at the Organization
                            Meeting of the Board of Directors),
                            amended to and including 1-28-03.

    II.    Purpose:         To align further each outside director's
                            ownership interest in Norfolk Southern
                            Corporation ("Corporation")with that of
                            stockholders generally.

   III.    Eligibility:     Each outside director of the Corporation
                            serving on the Effective Date and any such
                            outside director whose term as director
                            begins after the Effective Date ("Eligible
                            Director").  For purposes of this Program,
                            an "outside director" is a director who is
                            not an officer of the Corporation or any
                            of its subsidiaries.

    IV.    Benefits:        (1)  Each Eligible Director shall be
                            granted from time to time such deferred
                            stock units (each such stock unit
                            representing at the time of grant the
                            value of one share of Norfolk Southern
                            Corporation Common Stock) ("Stock
                            Units"),as the Board of Directors may
                            authorize.  Each Eligible Director's
                            Stock Units will be recorded in an
                            individual memorandum account ("Account")
                            maintained by the Corporate Secretary or
                            designated agent.  On each dividend
                            payment date, an amount equivalent to the
                            dividend paid on the Common Stock
                            ("Dividend Equivalent") will be credited
                            for each Stock Unit and each fraction
                            thereof in the Account and converted into
                            additional Stock Units and fractions
                            thereof (rounded to four decimal places)
                            based on the Fair Market Value of the
                            Common Stock on the dividend payment date.

                            For purposes of this Program, "Fair Market
                            Value" on a particular date is the mean of
                            the high and low prices at which the Common
                            Stock is traded on such date as reported in
                            the Composite Transactions for such date by
                            Bloomberg L.P., or its successor, on its
                            internet-based service, or, if Common Stock
                            was not traded on such date, on the next
                            preceding day on which Common Stock was
                            traded.

                            (2)  Each outside director of the
                            Corporation serving on June 1, 1996, also
                            shall have credited to the Account the
                            number of Stock Units, including fractions
                            thereof to which such director is entitled
                            under the Norfolk Southern Corporation
                            Directors' Pension Plan.  Such Stock Units
                            will be accounted for separately from any
                            Stock Units credited under paragraph (1)
                            above but will be treated the same in all
                            other respects.

                            (3)  Each Eligible Director may make an
                            election at any time up to one year prior
                            to leaving the Board of Directors to
                            receive in cash any Stock Units in the
                            Account either in a lump sum or in 10
                            annual installments upon leaving the
                            Board of Directors for any reason.  The
                            most current election on file with the
                            Corporate Secretary shall become
                            irrevocable one year prior to the
                            eligible Director leaving the Board of
                            Directors.  Failure to make a valid
                            election will result in the Account being
                            distributed in a lump sum.  Separate
                            elections will be made for Stock Units
                            credited under paragraphs (1) and  (2)
                            above.  A lump-sum payment will be valued
                            based on the Fair Market Value of Common
                            Stock on the last market day of the month
                            following a director's termination of
                            service and will be paid to an Eligible
                            Director or beneficiary as soon as
                            practicable thereafter.  The first
                            distribution under an election to receive
                            installment payments will be made in
                            January following the year in which the
                            Eligible Director terminates service;
                            Stock Units at any time remaining in the
                            Account will be credited with Dividend
                            Equivalents until the final installment
                            has been paid.  Each annual distribution
                            will be valued based on the Fair Market
                            Value of the Common Stock on the third
                            business day after the date in January
                            that the Corporation first makes publicly
                            available its most recent regular annual
                            financial statements.  The first such
                            installment will be an amount equal to one
                            tenth of the total value of the Stock
                            Units in the Account at that time; the

                            (4)  The Board of Directors may make such
                            adjustments in the number of Stock Units

V.  Miscellaneous:          (1)  Each Eligible Director may designate
                            in writing the person or persons

                            rights of the Eligible Director to the
                            Account in the event of the Eligible
                            Director's death before final distribution.
                            In order to be effective, an Eligible
                            Director's designation of a Beneficiary
                            must be on file with the Corporate

                            death.  Any such designation may be
                            revoked and a new designation substituted
                            therefor by the Eligible Director at any
                            time before death.

                            If the named Beneficiary does not survive
                            the Eligible Director, or if there is no
                            named Beneficiary, then the rights with

                            shall be acquired by the person or persons
                            who shall acquire the Eligible Director's
                            rights to the Account by bequest or
                            inheritance in accordance with the
                            applicable laws of descent and
                            distribution.

                            terminated by the Board of Directors of the

                            amendment or termination shall deprive an
                            Eligible Director of any Stock Units
                            previously credited to his or her Account.

                          SAFETY INCENTIVE PLAN

                  FOR NON-OPERATING AGREEMENT EMPLOYEES

A.    INTRODUCTION - The Norfolk Southern Safety Incentive Plan for
      Non-Operating Agreement Employees ("SIP") is designed to provide
      an additional incentive to work safely through Safety Incentive
      Awards ("Awards") to eligible agreement employees who work
      without injury during the contest year.

B.    ELIGIBILITY AND COVERED EMPLOYMENT - An "eligible employee is an
      employee of Norfolk Southern Corporation or one of its rail
      subsidiaries or affiliates (the "Company") who works in a
      department or unit in Appendix A during a calendar year a
      sufficient number of hours in "covered employment" equal to that
      required to earn vacation.  "Covered employment" is employment
      in a position covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
      Partially excepted positions classified as 3A or 3B are not
      considered covered employment.  To qualify for an Award for a
      given year, an eligible employee must work in covered employment
      for more than half of that year in a single contest group and
      must have payroll activity of at least 960 hours during that
      year in that single contest group.  "Payroll activity" includes
      pay for straight time, overtime, vacation, holiday, sick leave
      and any other hourly compensation made through the payroll
      process.  The eligible groups are listed in Appendix A.  The
      definition and scope of the term "eligible employee" and other
      terms herein, without limitation, are subject to change at any
      time, at the sole discretion of the Company.

C.    SAFETY INCENTIVE AWARDS -
      1.  The Company will award 5 shares of Norfolk Southern
      Corporation common stock (as may be adjusted as appropriate by
      the Company in the event of any recapitalization, stock split
      or other change affecting the capital structure of the Company)
      to each eligible employee who (i) is a qualifying member of a
      contest team listed in Groups 1, 2, 3 or 4 of Appendix A in the
      annual Norfolk Southern Safety Performance Contest for
      Non-Operating Agreement Employees which has no reportable
      injuries for the contest year and (ii) works in covered
      employment without injury during the contest year.

      2.  The Company will award 6 shares of Norfolk Southern
      Corporation common stock (as may be adjusted as appropriate by
      the Company in the event of any recapitalization, stock split
      or other change affecting the capital structure of the Company)
      to each eligible employee who is a member of a winning contest
      team listed in Group 5 of Appendix A in the annual Norfolk
      Southern Safety Performance Contest for Non-Operating Agreement
      Employees and who works in covered employment without injury
      during the contest year.  A winning contest team in Group 5 of
      Appendix A shall be that contest team which achieves the lowest
      FRA Reportable Injury Ratio of all contest teams in its group
      during the contest year (if there is only one team listed in
      Group 5, then that team shall compete with the Group 2 Terminals
      listed in Appendix A to the Norfolk Southern Safety Incentive
      Plan for Operating Agreement Employees, for purposes of this
      Award and the additional Award described in the second sentence
      following).  In case of ties, duplicate Awards will be provided.
      The Company will also award an additional 2 shares of Norfolk
      Southern Corporation common stock (as may be adjusted as
      appropriate by the Company in the event of any recapitalization,
      stock split or other change affecting the capital structure of
      the Company) to each eligible employee who works in covered
      employment without injury during the contest year and is a
      member of a winning contest team listed in Group 5 of Appendix
      A in the annual Norfolk Southern Safety Performance Contest for
      Non-Operating Agreement Employees which achieves a FRA
      Reportable Injury Ratio of zero.

D.    WORKING WITHOUT INJURY - In order to be considered as having
      worked in covered employment without injury during a contest
      year for purposes of SIP, an eligible employee must not be
      named as being injured in an FRA-reportable accident/injury
      report during that year.  In the event that an eligible employee
      is named as being injured in any such report while employed in
      covered employment, he/she and, except as otherwise provided
      herein for winning contest teams in Group 5 of Appendix A,
      his/her contest team will not be eligible for an Award during
      the contest year.  Failure by an eligible employee to make a
      proper report of an injury during covered employment will result
      in his/her being removed from consideration for an Award in the
      calendar year in which the unreported injury occurred, and, if
      it is a different year, in the year in which the Company learns
      of the failure to make a proper report.

E.    SIP ADMINISTRATION - The SIP will be administered by the Safety
      Department.  Employee injury statistics for eligible employees
      will be maintained by the Safety Department.

F.    TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT - The Company has and reserves the
      right to terminate or amend SIP at any time and for any reason,
      in its sole discretion.

                        SAFETY INCENTIVE PLAN

                   FOR OPERATING AGREEMENT EMPLOYEES

A.   INTRODUCTION - The Norfolk Southern Safety Incentive Plan ("SIP")
     is designed to provide an additional incentive to work safely
     through Safety Incentive Awards ("Awards") to eligible agreement
     employees who work without injury during the contest period.

B.   ELIGIBILITY AND COVERED EMPLOYMENT - An "eligible employee" is
     an employee of Norfolk Southern Corporation or one of its rail
     subsidiaries or affiliates (the "Company") who works in the
     Operations Division during a calendar year a sufficient number
     of hours in "covered employment" equal to that required to earn
     vacation.  "Covered employment" is employment in a position
     covered by a collective bargaining agreement.  To qualify for
     an Award for a given year, an eligible employee must work in
     covered employment for more than half of that year in a single
     contest group and must have payroll activity of at least 960
     hours during that year in that single contest group.
     "Payroll activity" includes pay for straighttime, overtime,
     vacation, holiday, sickleave and any other hourly compensation
     made through the payroll process.  The eligible groups and
     competitive groupings are listed in the "Norfolk Southern
     Safety Performance Contest Groups," which is attached as
     Appendix A.  The definition and scope of the term "eligible
     employee" and other terms herein, without limitation, are
     subject to change at any time, at the sole discretion of
     the Company.


C.   SAFETY INCENTIVE AWARDS - The Company will award 6 shares
     of Norfolk Southern Corporation common stock (as may be
     adjusted as appropriate by the Company in the event of any
     recapitalization, stock split or other change affecting the
     capital structure of the Company) to each eligible employee
     who is a member of a winning contest team in the annual
     Norfolk Southern Safety Performance Contest and who works
     in covered employment without injury during the contest year.
     A winning contest team shall be that contest team which
     achieves the lowest FRA Reportable Injury Ratio of all
     contest teams in its group during the contest year.  In case
     of ties, duplicate Awards will be provided.  The Company
     will also award an additional 2 shares of Norfolk Southern
     Corporation common stock to each eligible employee who works
     in covered employment without injury during the contest year
     and is a member of a winning contest team in the annual
     Norfolk Southern Safety Performance Contest which achieves a
     FRA Reportable Injury Ratio of zero.

D.   WORKING WITHOUT INJURY - In order to be considered as
     having worked in covered employment without injury during a
     contest year for purposes of SIP, an eligible employee must
     not be named as being injured in any FRA-reportable
     accident/injury report during that year.  In the event that
     an eligible employee is named as being injured in any such
     report while employed in covered employment, he/she will not
     be eligible for an Award during the Contest year.  Failure by
     an eligible employee to make a proper report of an injury
     during covered employment will result in his/her being removed
     from consideration for an Award in the calendar year in which
     the unreported injury occurred, and, if it is a different year,
     in the year in which the Company learns of the failure to
     make a proper report.


E.   EXCEPTIONS - If a Department Head, after consultation with the
     Law Department, determines that an injured employee in that
     Department was not at fault and could not have avoided the
     injury, the employee's injury-free status for SIP purposes will
     be restored.  The determination made by the Department Head
     will be final and there will be no appeal.

F.   SIP ADMINISTRATION - The SIP will be administered by the Safety
     Department.  Employee injury statistics for eligible employees
     will be maintained by the Safety Department.

G.   TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT - The Company has and reserves the
     right to terminate or amend SIP at any time and for any reason,
     in its sole discretion.

its determination with respect to the size or terms and conditions
of the Award to be granted to an employee at any time require it
to authorize the grant of an Award of the same size or with the
same terms and conditions to that employee at any other time or
to any other employee at any time.  The Committee shall not be
precluded from authorizing the grant of an Award to any eligible
employee solely because the employee previously may have been
granted an Award of any kind under the Plan.

All determinations of the Committee shall be by a majority of its
members and shall be final, conclusive and binding. Each member
of the Committee, while serving as such, shall be considered to
be acting in his capacity as a director of the Corporation, and
no member of the Committee shall be liable for any action taken
or decision made in good faith with respect to the implementation
or administration of the Plan.


Section 4.	ELIGIBILITY

To be eligible for selection by the Committee to participate in the
Plan, an individual must be a full-time salaried officer or key
employee of the Corporation, or of a Subsidiary Company, and must
reside in the United States or Canada, on the date on which the
Committee authorizes the grant to such individual of an Award.


Section 5.	RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

     (a) Type of Award - The Committee, in its sole discretion, may
fromtime to time authorize the grant of Restricted Stock Units to a
Participant.  Such Restricted Stock Units will be recorded in
individual memorandum accounts maintained by the Committee or its
agent.  The Participant shall have no beneficial ownership interest
in the Common Stock represented by the Restricted Stock Units and
no right to receive a certificate representing such shares of Common
Stock.  Further, the Participant shall have no right to vote the
Common Stock represented by the Restricted Stock Units or to receive
dividends (except for any equivalent payments which may be awarded
by the Committee in connection with such Restricted Stock Units)
on the Common Stock represented by the Restricted Stock Units.

     (b) 	Restrictions - Until the expiration of the Restriction
Period or the lapse of restrictions in the manner provided in
paragraphs (d) or (e) of this Section 5, Restricted Stock Units
shall be subject to the following restrictions and any additional
restrictions that the Committee, in its sole discretion, may from
time to time deem desirable in furtherance of the objectives of
the Plan:

            (i)    the Participant shall not be entitled to receive
cash payment for the Restricted Stock Units which the Participant
may have a contingent right to receive in the future;

            (ii)   the Restricted Stock Units may not be sold,
transferred, assigned, pledged, conveyed, hypothecated, or
otherwise disposed of; and

            (iii)  the Restricted Stock Units may be forfeited
immediately as provided in paragraph (d) of this Section 5.

     (c) 	Distribution of Restricted Stock Units - If a Participant
to whom Restricted Stock Units have been granted remains in the
continuous employment of the Corporation or a Subsidiary Company
during the entire Restriction Period, upon the expiration of the
Restriction Period all restrictions applicable to the Restricted
Stock Units shall lapse, and the Restricted Stock Units shall be
settled in cash, not in shares of Common Stock, based on Fair
Market Value on the date all applicable restrictions lapse.

      (d) 	Termination of Employment - If the employment of a
Participant is terminated for any reason other than the Retirement,
Disability or death of the Participant in service before the
expiration of the Restriction Period, the Restricted Stock Units
shall be forfeited immediately and all rights of the Participant
to such units shall terminate immediately without further
obligation on the part of the Corporation or any Subsidiary
Company. If the employment of a Participant is terminated by
reason of Retirement, Disability or death of the Participant
in service before expiration of the Restriction Period, the
number of Restricted Stock Units held by the Corporation for
the Participant's account shall be reduced by the proportion
of the Restriction Period remaining after the Participant's
termination of employment; the restrictions on the balance of
such Restricted Stock Units shall lapse on the date the
Participant's employment terminated; and the cash settlement
representing the Restricted Stock Units upon which the restrictions
have lapsed shall be delivered to the Participant (or, in the
event of the Participant's death, to his Beneficiary).

 	(e) 	Waiver of Restrictions - The Committee, in its sole
discretion, may waive any or all restrictions with respect to
Restricted Stock Units.


Section 6.	 DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT PAYMENTS

The Committee may authorize the payment of dividend equivalents on
some or all of the Restricted Stock Units representing shares of
Common Stock, in an amount equal to, and commensurate with,
dividends declared by the Board of Directors and paid on Common
Stock.  Dividend equivalents payable on Restricted Stock Units
under this Section 6 shall be paid immediately in cash or converted
to additional Restricted Stock Units based on the Fair Market Value
of Common Stock on the date dividends are paid, as may be
determined by the Committee.  If the dividend equivalents are
paid immediately in cash, the settlement thereof will be paid
in cash.  If the dividend equivalents are converted to additional
Restricted Stock Units, the additional Restricted Stock Units
shall be recorded in the Participant's individual memorandum account
and subject to any remaining Restriction Period applicable to the
Restricted Stock Units on which the dividend equivalents were paid.
Upon cash settlement of the Restricted Stock Units on which the
dividend equivalents were paid, the additional Restricted Stock
Units representing dividend equivalents will be paid in cash.
The Committee may authorize the payment of dividend equivalents
under this Section 6 with respect to any Restricted Stock Unit
for all or some portion of its term.


Section 7.	CAPITAL ADJUSTMENTS

		In the event of a recapitalization, stock split, stock
dividend, exchange, combination, or reclassification of shares,
merger, consolidation, reorganization, or other change in or
affecting the capital structure or capital stock of the Corporation,
the Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Committee,
may make appropriate adjustments in the number of Restricted Stock
Units representing shares of Common Stock, as it deems equitable,
in its absolute discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement
of the rights of Participants.


Section 8.	AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

		The Corporation may at any time and from time to time
alter or amend, in whole or in part, any or all of the provisions
of the Plan, or may at any time suspend or terminate the Plan,
through written action of its chief executive officer or resolution
of its Board of Directors, provided that no change in any Award
theretofore granted to any Participant may be made which would
impair or diminish the rights of the Participant without the
Participant's consent.


Section 9.	MISCELLANEOUS

     (a) 	Withholding - The Corporation and its Subsidiary
Companies shall have the right, to the extent permitted by law, to
deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to a Participant
any Federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be
withheld with respect to Awards under the Plan, and to the
extent any such withholding requirements are not satisfied, each
Participant shall pay to the Corporation any Federal, state or
local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with
respect to Awards under the Plan.

     (b) 	Stockholder Rights - No person shall have any rights
of a stockholder by virtue of a Restricted Stock Unit.

     (c) 	No Contract of Employment - This Plan shall not be
deemed to be an employment contract between the Corporation or
any Subsidiary Company and any Participant or other employee.
Nothing contained herein, or in any agreement, certificate or
other document evidencing, providing for, or setting forth the
terms and conditions applicable to any Awards shall be deemed
to confer upon any Participant or other employee a right to
continue in the employment of the Corporation or any Subsidiary
Company, or to interfere with the right of the Corporation or
any Subsidiary Company to terminate the employment of such
Participant or employee at any time.

     (d) 	Unfunded Plan - Except as may otherwise be provided
in the Plan, the Plan shall be unfunded.  Neither the Corporation
nor any Subsidiary Company shall be required to segregate any
assets that may be represented by Restricted Stock Units, and
neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary Company shall be
deemed to be a trustee of any amounts to be paid under a
Restricted Stock Unit.  Any liability of the Corporation to pay
any Participant or Beneficiary with respect to a Restricted
Stock Unit shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations
created pursuant to the provisions of the Plan; no such obligation
shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or encumbrance on any
property of the Corporation or a Subsidiary Company.

     (e) 	Applicable Law - The Plan, its validity, interpretation,
and administration, and the rights and obligations of all persons
having an interest therein, shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, except
to the extent that such laws may be preempted by Federal law.

     (f) Gender and Number - Wherever used in the Plan, words in
the masculine form shall be deemed to refer to females as well as
to males, and words in the singular or plural shall be deemed to
refer also to the plural or singular, respectively, as the context
may require.

promote the success of Norfolk Southern Corporation (the "Corporation")
and to provide an opportunity for nonagreement employees of the
Corporation and its Subsidiary Companies (as hereinafter defined) to
acquire or increase a proprietary interest in the Corporation and
thereby to provide an additional incentive to nonagreement employees
to devote their maximum efforts and skills to the advancement,
betterment, and prosperity of the Corporation and its shareholders.
The Plan provides for the grant of non-qualified stock options, in
accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below.

                  or if the designated person or persons predecease
                  the Participant, the person or persons who shall
                  acquire the Participant's rights in respect of

conditions of the Award or Awards to be granted to each such
Participant; to authorize the grant of such Awards pursuant to the
Plan; and to give a Participant an election to surrender an Award
in exchange for the grant of a new Award.  The Committee may
authorize the grant of Awards subject to differing terms and
conditions to any eligible employee.  The Committee's decision
to authorize the grant of an Award to an employee at any time
shall not require the Committee to authorize the grant of an Award
to that employee at any other time or to any other employee at any
time; nor shall its determination with respect to the size or terms
and conditions of the Award to be granted to an employee at any time
require it to authorize the grant of an Award of the same type or
size or with the same terms and conditions to that employee at any
other time or to any other employee at any time.  The Committee
shall not be precluded from authorizing the grant of an Award to
any eligible employee solely because the employee previously may
have been granted an Award of any kind under the Plan.

All determinations of the Committee shall be by a majority of its
members and shall be final, conclusive and binding. Each member
of the Committee, while serving as such, shall be considered to
be acting in his capacity as a director of the Corporation, and no
member of the Committee shall be liable for any action taken or
decision made in good faith with respect to the implementation of
the Plan or granting of awards thereunder.

The Plan shall be administered by the Vice President Human Resources
of the Corporation, which, subject to the limitations set forth
herein, shall have the full and complete authority and sole
discretion from time to time to construe and interpret the Plan;
to adopt, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the
Plan; and to make all other determinations and take all other action
it may deem necessary or advisable for the implementation and
administration of the Plan.


Section 4.	ELIGIBILITY

To be eligible for selection by the Committee to participate in
the Plan, an individual must be an active full-time nonagreement
employee of the Corporation or of a Subsidiary Company, and must

Award.  An officer or director of the Corporation shall not be
eligible to participate in the Plan.


Section 5.	SHARES AVAILABLE

Subject to the provisions of Section 7 of the Plan, no more than
an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock may be issued
pursuant to the Plan.  Such shares shall be provided from shares
of Common Stock authorized but not issued.  Any shares of Common
Stock which were subject to an Option and which were not issued
prior to the expiration of the Award shall thereafter again be
available for award under the Plan.

The grant of an Option shall be evidenced by a written notice
provided by the Corporation setting forth the number of shares of
Common Stock subject to the Option evidenced thereby and the terms,
conditions, and restrictions applicable thereto (Stock Option Notice).

      Except for adjustments pursuant to Section 7 of the Plan, the
Option Price for any outstanding Option granted under the Plan may
not be decreased after the date the Option is granted, nor may an
outstanding Option be modified or replaced if the effect would be to
reduce the Option Price, unless such repricing, modification or
replacement is approved by the vote of a majority of the shares of
Common Stock present or represented and entitled to vote at a
meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation at which a quorum
is present.

     (b) 	Option Price - The Committee shall determine the Option
price for each share of Common Stock purchased under an Option, but,
subject to the provisions of Section 7 of the Plan, in no event shall
the Option price be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair
Market Value of the Common Stock on the Effective Date the Option is
granted.

     (c)    Duration of Options - The Committee shall fix the term
or duration of Options, provided that such term shall not exceed ten
(10) years from the date the Option is granted, and that such term
shall be subject to earlier termination pursuant to the provisions
of paragraph (g) of this Section 6 of the Plan.

     (d)    Non-transferability of Options - Options are not
transferable other than by will or the applicable laws of descent
and distribution following the death of the Optionee. Options may
be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by him, and
following his death only by his Beneficiary.

     (e)    Exercise of Options - The Committee shall determine the
time or times at which Options may be exercised; provided that such
time or times shall not occur before the later of:

            (i)    the first anniversary of the Effective Date on
which the Option was granted; and

            (ii)   the effectiveness of any registration statement
required to be filed under the Securities Act of 1933 for the
registration of the Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the
Option.

Stock upon exercise of an Option shall be paid in full to the
Corporation at the time of the exercise of the Option in cash.

     (g)    Termination of Options - No Option shall be exercisable
after it expires.  Each Option shall expire upon the earliest of:

            (i)    the expiration of the term for which the Option
was granted;

            (ii)   (A) except as otherwise provided by the Committee,

Subsidiary Company is terminated due to Retirement, Disability or death,
the expiration of thirty-six (36) months after such termination of
employment, or

                   (B) in the case of an Optionee whose employment with
the Corporation or a Subsidiary Company is terminated for any reason
other than Retirement, Disability, or death, at the close of business
on the thirtieth day after the last day of active service by the
Optionee with the Corporation or a Subsidiary Company, or

                   (C)  in the case of an Optionee who is granted
a leave of absence, if the Optionee's employment with the
Corporation or a Subsidiary Company terminates at any time during
or at the end of the leave of absence, at the close of business
on the thirtieth day after the last day of employment with the
Corporation or a Subsidiary Company, or

            (iii)  with the Optionee's consent, the grant of a
new Award to replace the Option.


Section 7.	CAPITAL ADJUSTMENTS

In the event of a recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend,
exchange, combination, or reclassification of shares, merger,
consolidation, reorganization, or other change in or affecting
the capital structure or capital stock of the Corporation, the
Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Committee,
may make appropriate adjustments in the number of shares of
Common Stock authorized for the Plan and in the annual limitation
imposed by Section 5 of this Plan; and the Committee may make
appropriate adjustments in the number of shares subject to
outstanding Options and in the Option price of any then
outstanding Options, as it deems equitable, in its absolute
discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights
of Participants.


Section 8.	REGULATORY APPROVALS

The exercise of each Option shall be subject to the condition that
if at any time the Corporation shall determine in its discretion
that the satisfaction of withholding tax or other tax liabilities,
or the listing, registration, or qualification of any shares of
Common Stock upon any securities exchange or under any Federal or
state law, or the consent or approval of any regulatory body,
is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection
with, such exercise, grant, or distribution, then in any such
event such exercise, grant, or distribution shall not be effective
unless such liabilities have been satisfied or such listing,
registration, qualification, consent, or approval shall have been
effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the
Corporation.


Section 9.	AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

The Corporation may at any time and from time to time alter or amend,
in whole or in part, any or all of the provisions of the Plan, or
may at any time suspend or terminate the Plan, through written
action of its chief executive officer or Board of Directors, provided
that no change in any Awards theretofore granted to any Participant
may be made which would impair or diminish the rights of the
Participant without the Participant's consent.

Section 10.	MISCELLANEOUS

     (a)    Fractional Shares - The Corporation shall not be required
to issue or deliver any fractional share of Common Stock upon the
exercise of an Option but may pay, in lieu thereof, an amount in
cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional share.

     (b)    Withholding - The Corporation and its Subsidiary
Companies shall have the right, to the extent permitted by law,
to deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to a
Participant any Federal, state or local taxes of any kind required
by law to be withheld with respect to Awards under the Plan, and
to the extent any such withholding requirements are not satisfied,
each Participant shall pay to the Corporation any Federal, state
or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with
respect to Awards under the Plan.

     (c)    Stockholder Rights - No person shall have any rights
of a stockholder by virtue of an Option except with respect to
shares of Common Stock actually issued to him, and the issuance
of shares of Common Stock shall confer no retroactive right to
dividends.

     (d)    No Contract of Employment - This Plan shall not be
deemed to be an employment contract between the Corporation or
any Subsidiary Company and any Participant or other employee.
Nothing contained herein, or in any agreement, certificate or
other document evidencing, providing for, or setting forth the
terms and conditions applicable to any Awards shall be deemed
to confer upon any Participant or other employee a right to
continue in the employment of the Corporation or any Subsidiary
Company, or to interfere with the right of the Corporation or
any Subsidiary Company to terminate the employment of such
Participant or employee at any time.

     (e)    Unfunded Plan - Except as may otherwise be provided
in the Plan, the Plan shall be unfunded.  Neither the Corporation
nor any Subsidiary Company shall be required to segregate any
assets that may be represented by Options and neither the
Corporation nor any Subsidiary Company shall be deemed to be
a trustee of any amounts to be paid under an Option.  Any
liability of the Corporation or a Subsidiary Company to pay
any Participant or Beneficiary with respect to an Option shall
be based solely upon any contractual obligations created pursuant
to the provisions of the Plan; no such obligation shall be deemed
to be secured by any pledge or encumbrance on any property of the
Corporation or a Subsidiary Company.

     (f)    Applicable Law - The Plan, its validity, interpretation,
and administration, and the rights and obligations of all persons
having an interest therein, shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, except to
the extent that such laws may be preempted by Federal law.

     (g)    Gender and Number - Wherever used in the Plan, words
in the masculine form shall be deemed to refer to females as well
as to males, and words in the singular or plural shall be deemed
to refer also to the plural or singular, respectively, as the
context may require.

	Section 1.  Definitions.  Capitalized terms used in this
Amendment No. 2 and not defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the Agreement	Section 2.  Amendment of the
Agreement.  The Agreement is hereby amended pursuant to and in
compliance with Section 17 as follows:

	A.	The heading and text of Section 11(b) are hereby deleted
in their entirety and the following substituted therefore:

	(b)	Operators' Joint Responsibility.

		(i)	Damages Borne Equally.  Except as otherwise provided
in 1) Section 11(a) (Operators' Sole Responsibility), (2) Section 11(c)
(1)(CRC Damages Generally), (3) Section 11(c)(ii)(B) (No Reallocation
for Insurance), (4) Section 11(f) (Specified Level Damages), and (5)
Section 11(g) (Substance Abuse Exceptions), and subject to Section
11(c)(ii)(A)(Net of Insurance), responsibility for all Damage shall
be borne equally by the Operators, with each being liable for one-half
(1/2) of the Damage.

		(ii)	Reexamination.  Either Operator may give written
notice to the other Operator and CRC (the "Proposed Change Notice")
that it wishes to propose a new method for allocating Operators'
Joint Responsibility (Section 11(b)(i) above) and such Proposed Change
Notice shall set forth details of such new method, including the
language of the proposed amendment of Section 11(b).  The two
Operators and CRC shall have ninety (90) days from the date of the
Proposed Change Notice to agree upon a new method of allocating
Operators' Joint Responsibility, which agreement shall be evidenced
by an amendment ("Change Amendment") to this Agreement executed by
both Operators and CRC.  From and after the effective date specified
in the Change Amendment, the new method of allocation of Operators'
Joint Responsibility shall be effective.  If both Operators and CRC
are not able to so agree and execute an appropriate Change Amendment
within ninety (90) days after the date of the Proposed Change Notice,
then, at 12:01 a.m. on the Ninety-first (91st) day after the date
of the Proposed Change Notice (the "Default Time"), the Default
Provision allocating Operators' Joint Responsibility (Section
11(b)(iii) below) shall become effective.  The method of allocating
Damage in the case of Operators' Joint Responsibility under the
Change Amendment or the Default Provision, as the case may be,
shall apply only to incidents that occur on or after the effective
date thereof, and not to Damage related to incidents that occurred
before such effective date.

		(iii)	Default Provision.  From and after the Default Time,
except as otherwise provided in (1) Section 11(a) (Operators' Sole
Responsibility), (2) Section 11(c)(i) (CRC Damages Generally), (3)
Section 11(c)(ii)(B) (No Reallocation for Insurance), (4) Section
11(f) (Specified Level Damages), and (5) Section 11(g) (Substance
Abuse Exceptions) and subject to Section 11(c)(ii)(A) (Net of
Insurance), all Damage shall be apportioned between the Operators
in proportion to their respective Total Train Usage Percentages
in the Zone in which the incident giving rise to such Damage
occurred for the 12 calendar month period immediately preceding
the incident giving rise to such Damage.

	B.	The heading and text of Section 11(f)(i)(A.1) are
hereby deleted in their entirety and the following substituted
therefor:

		(A.1)	Tier One Damages Defined.  In this Section 11(f),
"Tier One Damages" for any incident occurring on or after June 1,
2001 shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 11(g) (Substance
Abuse Exceptions), include the greater of:

				1)	$25 million of Damages; or

	2)	the lowest amount of Damages which, when allocated
among all parties, results in an allocation to either Operator of
Damages in an amount equal to all insurance benefits available to
that Operator (called the "Lesser Insured Operator") which has the
lesser (as between the Operators) amount of insurance benefits
available to it, including, without limitation, insurance to which
CRC looks under Section 11(c) (CRC Responsibility, Allocation and
Insurance).  In determining insurance benefits available to the
Lesser Insured Operator, both property and liability insurance shall
be considered but (i) only to the extent benefits are actually
available in connection with that incident; and (ii) they shall be
calculated separately (i.e., property insurance benefits shall not be
considered in any determination of available liability insurance
benefits and vice versa)."


	SECTION 3.  Effectiveness.  This Amendment No. 3 shall become
effective as of June 1, 2001 (the "Amendment Date").

	SECTION 4.  Integration; Confirmation.  On and after the
Amendment Date, each reference in the Agreement to "this
Agreement," "herein," "hereunder," or words of similar import,
and each reference in any Note or other document delivered in
connection with the Agreement shall be deemed to be a reference
to the Agreement as amended by this Amendment, and the Agreement as
so amended shall be read as a single integrated document.  Except
as specifically amended by this Amendment, all other terms and
provisions of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect
and unchanged and are hereby confirmed in all respects.

	SECTION 5.  Confirmation of Agreement.  In all respects not
inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Amendment No. 3,
the Agreement is hereby ratified, adopted, approved and confirmed.

	SECTION 6.  Counterparts.  This Amendment No. 3 may be signed
in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original,
with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were
upon the same instrument.



	IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement
to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.

Section 3.	ADMINISTRATION

The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which, subject to
the limitations set forth herein, shall have the full and complete
authority and sole discretion from time to time to construe and
interpret the Plan; to select the officers and other key employees
who shall be granted Awards under the Plan; to determine the type,
size, terms, and conditions of the Award or Awards to be granted
to each such Participant; to authorize the grant of such Awards
pursuant to the Plan; in connection with the merger or
consolidation of the Corporation, to give a Participant an
election to surrender an Award in exchange for the grant of a
new Award; to adopt, amend and rescind rules and regulations
relating to the Plan; and to make all other determinations and
take all other action it may deem necessary or advisable for the
implementation and administration of the Plan.  The Committee
may authorize the grant of more than one type of Award, and
Awards subject to differing terms and conditions, to any
eligible employee.  The Committee's decision to authorize the
grant of an Award to an employee at any time shall not require
the Committee to authorize the grant of an Award to that employee
at any other time or to any other employee at any time; nor shall
its determination with respect to the size, type, or terms and
conditions of the Award to be granted to an employee at any time
require it to authorize the grant of an Award of the same type
or size or with the same terms and conditions to that employee
at any other time or to any other employee at any time.  The
Committee shall not be precluded from authorizing the grant of
an Award to any eligible employee solely because the employee
previously may have been granted an Award of any kind under the
Plan.

All determinations of the Committee shall be by a majority of its
members and shall be final, conclusive and binding. Each member of
the Committee, while serving as such, shall be considered to be
acting in his capacity as a director of the Corporation, and no
member of the Committee shall be liable for any action taken or
decision made in good faith with respect to the implementation
or administration of the Plan.


Section 4.	ELIGIBILITY

To be eligible for selection by the Committee to participate in the
Plan, an individual must be a full-time salaried officer or key
employee of the Corporation, or of a Subsidiary Company, and must
reside in the United States or Canada, on the date on which the
Committee authorizes the grant to such individual of an Award.
Subject to approval of the Plan, as hereby amended, by the vote
of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present
or represented and entitled to vote at a meeting of the
stockholders of the Corporation at which a quorum is present,
a non-employee director shall be eligible to participate in the
Plan if he or she is a director of the Corporation and is not
a full-time salaried employee of the Corporation or a Subsidiary
Company on the date on which the Committee authorizes the grant of an
Award to non-employee directors.


Section 5.	SHARES AVAILABLE

Subject to the provisions of Section 13 of the Plan, no more than
an aggregate of 39,878,604 shares of Common Stock may be issued
pursuant to the Plan.  Effective January 23, 2001, an additional
5,000,000 shares of Common Stock (an aggregate of 44,878,604) may
be issued to Participants who are not officers of the Corporation.
Subject to approval of the Plan, as hereby amended, by the vote of
the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present
or represented and entitled to vote at a meeting of the stockholders
of the Corporation, at which a quorum is present, an additional
30,000,000 shares of Common Stock (an aggregate of 74,878,604) may
be issued pursuant to the Plan, and no more than 6,000,000 of such
additional shares shall be awarded as Restricted Shares or
Performance Shares.  Such shares shall be provided from shares
of Common Stock authorized but not issued.  Any shares of Common
Stock which were subject to an Option, a Stock Appreciation Right,
or a Performance Share Unit, and which were not issued prior to
the expiration of the Award shall thereafter again be available
for award under the Plan.  Upon the forfeiture of any Restricted
Shares, the forfeited shares of Common Stock shall thereafter be
available for award under the Plan.  Notwithstanding any other
provision to the contrary, no Participant may be awarded a grant
in any one year, which, when added to any other grant of Options,
Restricted Shares, and Performance Share Units in the same year,
shall exceed 750,000 shares of Common Stock.  Subject to approval
of the Plan, as hereby amended, by the vote of the holders of a
majority of the shares of Common Stock present or represented and
entitled to vote at a meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation,
at which a quorum is present, notwithstanding any other provision
to the contrary, no Participant may be awarded a grant in any one
year, which, when added to any other grant of Options, Restricted
Shares, and Performance Share Units in the same year, shall exceed
1,500,000 shares of Common Stock.  If an Option is canceled, the
canceled Option continues to count against the maximum number of
shares for which Options may be granted to a Participant in any
year.


Section 6.	INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS

     (a) 	General - The Committee may authorize the grant of
Incentive Stock Options subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Section 6.  The grant of an Incentive Stock Option
shall be evidenced by a written Stock Option Agreement between
the Corporation and the Optionee, setting forth the number of
shares of Common Stock subject to the Incentive Stock Option
evidenced thereby and the terms, conditions, and restrictions
applicable thereto.  The issuance of shares of Common Stock
pursuant to an Incentive Stock Option also shall be subject to
the provisions of any Share Retention Agreement that may be
required by the Committee under Section 11 of the Plan.

            Except for adjustments pursuant to Section 13 of the
Plan, the Option Price for any outstanding Incentive Stock Option
granted under the Plan may not be decreased after the date the
Option is granted, nor may an outstanding Option be modified or
replaced if the effect would be to reduce the Option Price,
unless such repricing, modification or replacement is approved
by the vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present
or represented and entitled to vote at a meeting of the
stockholders of the Corporation at which a quorum is present.

     (b)    Option Price - The Committee shall determine the Option
price for each share of Common Stock purchased under an Option,
but, subject to the provisions of Section 13 of the Plan, in no
event shall the Option price be less than one hundred percent
(100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date
the Option is granted.

     (c)    Duration of Options - The Committee shall fix the
term or duration of Options, provided that such term shall not
exceed ten (10) years from the date the Option is granted, and
that such term shall be subject to earlier termination pursuant
to the provisions of paragraph (g) of this Section 6 or paragraph
(e) of Section 8 of the Plan.

     (d)    Non-transferability of Options - Options are not
transferable other than by will or the applicable laws of descent
and distribution following the death of the Optionee. Options may
be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by him, and
following his death only by his Beneficiary.

     (e)    Exercise of Options - The Committee shall determine the
time or times at which Options may be exercised; provided that such
time or times shall not occur before the latest of:

           (i)    the first anniversary of the date on which the
Option was granted; and

           (ii)   the effectiveness of any registration statement
required to be filed under the Securities Act of 1933 for the
registration of the Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the
Option.

     (f)    Payment of Option Price - The purchase price of Common
Stock upon exercise of an Option shall be paid in full to the
Corporation at the time of the exercise of the Option in cash or,
at the discretion of the Committee and subject to any limitations
or requirements that the Committee may adopt, by the surrender to
the Corporation of shares of previously acquired Common Stock, which
have been held by the Optionee for at least twelve (12) months and
which shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the date that the Option
is exercised, or, at the discretion of the Committee, by a combination
of cash and such Common Stock.

     (g)    Termination of Options - No Option shall be exercisable
after it expires.  Each Option shall expire upon the earliest of:

            (i)   the expiration of the term for which the Option
was granted;

            (ii)  (A) Except as otherwise provided by the Committee,
in the case of an Optionee whose employment with the Corporation or
a Subsidiary Company is terminated due to Retirement, Disability or
death, the expiration of thirty-six (36) months after such
termination of employment, or

                  (B) in the case of an Optionee whose employment
with the Corporation or a Subsidiary Company is terminated for any
reason other than Retirement, Disability, or death, at the close
of business on the last day of active service by the Optionee
with the Corporation or a Subsidiary Company, or

	            (C) in the case of an Optionee who is granted a
leave of absence, if the Optionee's employment with the Corporation
or a Subsidiary Company terminates at any time during or at the
end of the leave of absence, at the close of business on the last
day of employment with the Corporation or a Subsidiary Company, or

            (iii)  in connection with a merger or consolidation
of the Corporation, with the Optionee's consent, the grant of a new
Award to replace the Option.

     (h)   Limitation on Exercisability - The aggregate Fair Market
Value (determined as of the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted)
of the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options
(granted on or after January 1, 1987) are exercisable for the first
time by the Optionee during any calendar year shall not exceed
$100,000.

     (i) 	Order of Exercise - An Incentive Stock Option granted
prior to January 1, 1987, shall not be exercisable while there is
outstanding any Incentive Stock Option which was granted to the
Optionee before the grant of the first-mentioned Incentive Stock
Option.  For this purpose, an Incentive Stock Option shall be
treated as outstanding until it is exercised in full or expires
in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 6.

     As used in paragraphs (h) and (i) of this Section 6, the term
Incentive Stock Option shall mean an option to purchase stock
which is granted pursuant to the provisions of this Plan or of
any other plan of the Corporation or of a parent or subsidiary
corporation (as defined by Section 424(f) of the Code) and which
complies with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 422(b)
of the Code.


Section 7.	NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS

The Committee may authorize the grant of Non-qualified Stock Options
subject to the terms and conditions specified in this Section 7.
The grant of a Non-qualified Stock Option shall be evidenced by
a written Non-qualified Stock Option Agreement between the
Corporation and the Optionee, setting forth the number of shares
of Common Stock subject to the Non-qualified Stock Option evidenced
thereby and the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable
thereto.  Non-qualified Stock Options granted pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 7 shall be subject to the terms,
conditions, and restrictions set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) and
(d) through (g) of Section 6 of the Plan.  The limitations set forth
in paragraphs (c), (h) and (i) of Section 6 of the Plan shall not
apply to Non-qualified Stock Options.  The issuance of shares of
Common Stock pursuant to a Non-qualified Stock Option also shall
be subject to the provisions of any Share Retention Agreement that
may be required by the Committee under Section 11 of the Plan.


Section 8.	STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

     (a)    General - The Committee may grant a Stock Appreciation
Right to a Participant in connection with an Option, or portion
thereof as determined by the Committee, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Section 8. The Stock Appreciation Right
may be granted at the time of grant of the related Option and shall
be subject to the same terms and conditions as the related Option,
except as this Section 8 may otherwise provide.  The grant of a Stock
Appreciation Right shall be evidenced either by provisions in the
Option agreement evidencing the related Option or by a written Stock
Appreciation Right Agreement between the Corporation and the Optionee,
identifying the related Option, specifying the number of shares of
Common Stock subject thereto, and setting forth the terms and
conditions applicable to the Stock Appreciation Right.

     (b) 	Exercise - A Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable
only at such time or times, to such extent, and by such persons, as
the Option to which it relates shall be exercisable; provided that:

            (i)    if the Committee determines that all or part of
a payment in respect of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be made in
cash, the Stock Appreciation Right shall not be exercised before
the expiration of one (1) year from the date on which it was granted;
provided, however, that this subparagraph (i) shall not apply if
the death or Disability of the Optionee occurs within one (1) year
after the grant of the Stock Appreciation Right;

           (ii)  if the Committee determines that all or part of
a payment in respect of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be made
in cash, such exercise may occur only on a day that is at least
three (3) and no more than twelve (12) business days after the
date on which the Corporation first made publicly available its
most recent regular quarterly or annual financial statements; and

           (iii)  a Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection
with an Incentive Stock Option may not be exercised on any date
on which the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock is
less than or equal to the Option price per share under the
related Incentive Stock Option.

     A Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercised by surrendering
the related Option, or the portion thereof pertaining to the shares
with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised,
and providing the Corporation with a written notice in such form
and containing such information (including the number of shares
of Common Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation
Right is being exercised) as the Committee may specify.  The date
on which the Corporation receives such notice shall be the date
on which the related Option, or portion thereof, shall be deemed
surrendered and the Stock Appreciation Right shall be deemed
exercised.

     (c) 	Payment - Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right
in the manner provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 8, the
Optionee shall be entitled to receive Exercise Gain Shares equal
to the number of shares of Common Stock that have an aggregate
Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the amount by
which the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the
exercise date exceeds the Option price per share of the related
Option, multiplied by the number of shares covered by the related
Option, or portion thereof, surrendered in connection with the
exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right.  The Exercise Gain
Shares shall be subject to the provisions of any Share Retention
Agreement that may be required by the Committee under Section 11
of the Plan.  In the sole discretion of the Committee, all or
part of the payment in respect of a Stock Appreciation Right
may be made in cash in lieu of Exercise Gain Shares.

     (d)    Termination of Right - A Stock Appreciation Right
shall expire, unless previously exercised or canceled, upon the
expiration of the Option to which it relates.

     (e)    Effect of Exercise - A Stock Appreciation Right shall
be canceled when, and to the extent that, the related Option is
exercised, and an Option shall be canceled when, and to the extent
that, the Option is surrendered to the Corporation upon the exercise
of a related Stock Appreciation Right.

Section 9.	RESTRICTED SHARES

     (a)    General - The Committee, in its sole discretion, may
from time to time authorize the grant of Restricted Shares to a
Participant.  A certificate or certificates representing the number
of Restricted Shares granted shall be registered in the name of
the Participant.  Until the expiration of the Restriction Period
or the lapse of restrictions in the manner provided in paragraph
(d) or paragraph (e) of this Section 9, the certificate or
certificates shall be held by the Corporation for the account of
the Participant, and the Participant shall have beneficial ownership
of the Restricted Shares, including the right to receive dividends
on, and the right to vote, the Restricted Shares.

     (b)    Restrictions - Until the expiration of the Restriction
Period or the lapse of restrictions in the manner provided in
paragraph (d) or paragraph (e) of this Section 9, Restricted Shares
shall be subject to the following restrictions and any additional
restrictions that the Committee, in its sole discretion, may from
time to time deem desirable in furtherance of the objectives of
the Plan:

           (i)    the Participant shall not be entitled to receive
the certificate or certificates representing the Restricted Shares;

           (ii)   the Restricted Shares may not be sold, transferred,
assigned, pledged, conveyed, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of;
and

           (iii)  the Restricted Shares may be forfeited immediately
as provided in paragraph (d) of this Section 9.


     (c)    Distribution of Restricted Shares - If a Participant to whom
Restricted Shares have been granted remains in the continuous employment
of the Corporation or a Subsidiary Company during the entire
Restriction Period, upon the expiration of the Restriction Period all
restrictions applicable to the Restricted Shares shall lapse, and
the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Common
Stock that were granted to the Participant in the form of Restricted
Shares shall be delivered to the Participant.

     (d)    Termination of Employment - If the employment of a
Participant is terminated for any reason other than the Retirement,
Disability, or death of the Participant in service before the
expiration of the Restriction Period, the Restricted Shares shall
be forfeited immediately and all rights of the Participant to such
shares shall terminate immediately without further obligation on
the part of the Corporation or any Subsidiary Company.  If the
Participant's employment is terminated by reason of the Retirement,
Disability, or death of the Participant in service before the
expiration of the Restriction Period, the number of Restricted
Shares held by the Corporation for the Participant's account shall
be reduced by the proportion of the Restriction Period remaining
after the Participant's termination of employment; the restrictions
on the balance of such Restricted Shares shall lapse on the date
the Participant's employment terminated; and the certificate or
certificates representing the shares of Common Stock upon which the
restrictions have lapsed shall be delivered to the Participant
(or, in the event of the Participant's death, to his Beneficiary).

     (e)    Waiver of Restrictions - The Committee, in its sole
discretion, may waive any or all restrictions with respect to
Restricted Shares.


Section 10.	PERFORMANCE SHARES

The Committee, in its sole discretion, may from time to time authorize
the grant of Performance Share Units to a Participant.  Performance
Share Units shall entitle the Participant to Performance Shares
(or cash in lieu thereof) upon the achievement of such performance
goals as may be established by the Committee at the time of grant
for three equally weighted performance criteria:  (a)  the
Corporation's total stockholder return as compared to the S&P 500
Index; (b) the Corporation's operating ratio; and (c) the Corporation's
return on average capital invested.  At such time as it is certified
by the Committee that the performance goals established by the
Committee have been attained or otherwise satisfied, the Committee
shall authorize the payment of cash in lieu of Performance Shares
or the issuance of Performance Shares registered in the name of the
Participant, subject to the provisions of any Share Retention
Agreement that may be required by the Committee under Section 11
of the Plan, or both.

If the Participant's employment with the Corporation or a Subsidiary
Company is terminated before the end of a Performance Cycle for any
reason other than Retirement, Disability, or death, the Participant
shall forfeit all rights with respect to any Performance Shares
that were being earned during the Performance Cycle.  If the
Participant is granted a leave of absence before the end of a
Performance Cycle, the Participant shall not forfeit all rights
with respect to any Performance Shares that were being earned
during the Performance Cycle, unless the Participant's employment
with the Corporation or a Subsidiary Company terminates at any time
during or at the end of the leave of absence, at which time the
Participant shall forfeit all rights with respect to any Performance
Shares that were being earned during the Performance Cycle.  The
Committee, in its sole discretion, may establish guidelines
providing that if a Participant's employment is terminated before
the end of a Performance Cycle by reason of Disability, or death,
the Participant shall be entitled to a prorated payment with
respect to any Performance Shares that were being earned during
the Performance Cycle.  If the Participant's employment is
terminated before the end of a Performance Cycle by reason of
Retirement, the Participant's rights with respect to any Performance
Shares being earned during the Performance Cycle shall, subject to
the other provisions of this Section 10, continue as if the
Participant's employment had continued through the end of the
Performance Cycle.



Section 11.	SHARE RETENTION AGREEMENTS

     (a)    General - The Committee, in its sole discretion, may
require as a condition of an Award of an Option, Stock Appreciation
Right, or Performance Share Unit that the Participant and the
Corporation enter into a Share Retention Agreement, which shall
provide that the certificate or certificates representing any Exercise
Gain Shares or Performance Shares, when issued, shall be held by the
Secretary of the Corporation for the benefit of the Participant
until such time as the retention period specified by the Share
Retention Agreement has expired or has been waived by the Committee,
whichever occurs first.  Each Share Retention Agreement may include
some or all of the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in
paragraphs (b) through (g) of this Section 11.

     (b)    Retention Period - Exercise Gain Shares and Performance
Shares that are subject to the Share Retention Agreement may not be
sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, conveyed, hypothecated or
otherwise disposed of within such period of time, of not less than
twenty-four (24) months and not more than sixty (60) months following
the date of exercise (in the case of Exercise Gain Shares) or the
date of issuance (in the case of Performance Shares), as shall be
prescribed by the Committee.

     (c)    Tax Absorption Payment - The Corporation may make a
cash payment, either directly to the Participant or on the
Participant's behalf, in an amount that the Committee estimates
to be equal (after taking into account any Federal and state
taxes that the Committee estimates to be applicable to such cash
payment) to any additional Federal and state income taxes that
are imposed upon the Participant as a result of the issuance of
the Exercise Gain Shares or Performance Shares that are subject
to the Share Retention Agreement.  In determining the amount to
be paid pursuant to this paragraph (c), the Committee may adopt
such methods and assumptions as it considers appropriate, and
it shall not be required to examine the individual tax liability
of each Participant who has entered into a Share Retention
Agreement.

     (d)    Termination of Employment - If a Participant's employment
 with the Corporation or a Subsidiary Company is terminated for any
 reason other than Retirement, Disability, or death, Exercise Gain
 Shares or Performance Shares subject to the Share Retention
Agreement shall continue to be held,  following the Participant's
termination of employment, until the expiration of the retention
period specified by the Share Retention Agreement.  If the
Participant's employment is terminated by reason of Retirement
or Disability, Exercise Gain Shares and Performance Shares then
held subject to the Share Retention Agreement shall continue to
be held until the expiration of the applicable retention period
following termination of employment, but any such retention
period shall cease upon the earlier of the Participant's attainment
of age 65 or the expiration of two (2) years after the
Participant's Retirement or Disability, if either of those
events occurs before the expiration of the applicable retention
period.  If the Participant dies while Exercise Gain Shares or
Performance Shares are subject to a retention period under the
Share Retention Agreement, such retention period shall expire
immediately at the time of death.

     (e)    Change in Control - Upon a Change in Control, the
retention periods specified by all Share Retention Agreements
shall immediately expire.

     A Change in Control shall occur if:

            (i)    any person, other than the Corporation or a
Subsidiary Company or any employee benefit plan sponsored by the
Corporation or a Subsidiary Company, shall become the beneficial
owner of, or obtain voting control over, 20% or more of the
Corporation's outstanding Common Stock;


            (ii)   the stockholders of the Corporation shall
approve (A) any consolidation or merger of the Corporation in
which the Corporation is not the continuing or surviving
corporation or pursuant to which shares of Common Stock would
be converted into cash, securities, or other property, other
than a merger of the Corporation in which holders of Common
Stock immediately prior to the merger have the same proportionate
ownership of common stock of the surviving corporation immediately
after the merger as immediately before, or (B) any sale, lease,
exchange, or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of
related transactions) of all or substantially all the assets of
the Corporation; or

           (iii)  there shall have been a change in the composition
of the Board of Directors such that within any period of two (2)
consecutive years or less individuals who at the beginning of such
period constituted such Board, together with any new directors
whose election, or nomination for election by the Corporation's
stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of
the directors then in office who were directors at the beginning
of such period, shall for any reason no longer constitute a
majority of the directors of the Corporation.

     If the expiration of a Share Retention Agreement pursuant
to this paragraph (e) causes a Participant to be subject to an
excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, or any successor
provision thereto (the "Excise Tax"), the Corporation shall make
a cash payment, either directly to the Participant or on the
Participant's behalf, in an amount that the Committee estimates
to be equal (after taking into account any Federal and state
taxes, including interest and penalties, that the Committee
estimates to be applicable to the additional cash payment) to
the additional Excise Tax imposed on the Participant as a result
of the expiration of the Share Retention Agreement.  In
determining the amount to be paid pursuant to this subparagraph,
the Committee may adopt such methods and assumptions as it
considers appropriate, and it shall not be required to examine
the individual tax liability of each Participant to whom this
subparagraph applies.

     (f)    Waiver of Requirements - The Committee, in its sole
discretion, may waive any or all retention periods or other
restrictions in the Share Retention Agreement.

     (g)    Distribution of Shares - The Secretary of the
Corporation shall promptly distribute the certificate or
certificates representing the Exercise Gain Shares or Performance
Shares subject to a Share Retention Agreement upon expiration of
the retention period or other termination or waiver of the
restrictions under this Section 11.


Section 12.	 DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT PAYMENTS

    The Committee may authorize the immediate or deferred payment
of dividend equivalents on some or all of the shares of Common
Stock covered by Options or Performance Share Units granted
after January 1, 1989, in an amount equal to, and commensurate
with, dividends declared by the Board of Directors and paid on
Common Stock.  Dividend equivalents payable on Option shares or
on Performance Share Units under this Section 12 may be paid
in cash or in Common Stock at the discretion of the Committee.
The Committee may authorize the immediate payment of dividend
equivalents under this Section 12 with respect to any Option
for all or some portion of its term by including a specific
provision, authorizing such immediate payment, in the Incentive
Stock Option Agreement required under Section 6(a) of the Plan
or the Non-qualified Stock Option Agreement required under
Section 7 of the Plan.  The Committee may authorize the immediate
payment of dividend equivalents under this Section 12 with
respect to any Performance Share Unit for all or some portion
of its term as a term and condition of the Performance Share
Unit grant.  The Committee also may authorize the deferred payment
of dividend equivalents under this Section 12 with respect to any
Option for all or some portion of its term by including a specific
provision authorizing such deferred payment (including the manner
in which such payment will be credited to Optionees and
subsequently paid) in the Incentive Stock Option Agreement
required under Section 6(a) of the Plan or the Non-qualified
Stock Option Agreement required under Section 7 of the Plan.
The Committee may authorize the deferred payment of dividend
equivalents under this Section 12 with respect to any Performance
Share Unit for all or some portion of its term by including a
specific provision authorizing such deferred payment (including
the manner in which such deferred payment will be credited to
Optionees and subsequently paid) as a term and condition of the
Performance Share Unit grant.



Section 13.	CAPITAL ADJUSTMENTS

     In the event of a recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend,
exchange, combination, or reclassification of shares, merger,
consolidation, reorganization, or other change in or affecting
the capital structure or capital stock of the Corporation, the
Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Committee,
may make appropriate adjustments in the number of shares of Common
Stock authorized for the Plan and in the annual limitation imposed
by Section 5 of this Plan; and the Committee may make appropriate
adjustments in the number of shares subject to outstanding Options,
Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, or Performance Share
Unit grants, and in the Option price of any then outstanding
Options, as it deems equitable, in its absolute discretion, to
prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants.


Section 14.	REGULATORY APPROVALS

     The exercise of each Option and Stock Appreciation Right, and
the grant or distribution of Restricted Shares and Performance
Shares, shall be subject to the condition that if at any time
the Corporation shall determine in its discretion that the
satisfaction of withholding tax or other tax liabilities, or the
listing, registration, or qualification of any shares of Common
Stock upon any securities exchange or under any Federal or state
law, or the consent or approval of any regulatory body, is
necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with,
such exercise, grant, or distribution, then in any such event
such exercise, grant, or distribution shall not be effective
unless such liabilities have been satisfied or such listing,
registration, qualification, consent, or approval shall have been
effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to
the Corporation.


Section 15.	TERM OF THE PLAN

     (a)    Term of the Plan - Awards may be granted from time to
time under the terms and conditions of the Plan, but no Incentive
Stock Option may be granted after the expiration of ten (10)
years from the date of adoption of the Plan, as hereby amended,
by the Board of Directors; provided, that any future amendment
to the Plan that is approved by the stockholders of the Corporation
in the manner provided under paragraph (a) of this Section 15 shall
be regarded as creating a new Plan, and an Incentive Stock Option
may be granted under such new Plan until the expiration of ten (10)
years from the earlier of the approval by the Board of Directors,
or the approval by the stockholders of the Corporation, of such new
Plan.  Incentive Stock Options theretofore granted may extend
beyond the expiration of that ten-year period, and the terms and
conditions of the Plan shall continue to apply thereto and to
shares of Common Stock acquired upon the subsequent exercise of an
Incentive Stock Option or related Stock Appreciation Right.



Section 16.	AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

     The Corporation may at any time and from time to time alter or
amend, in whole or in part, any or all of the provisions of the Plan,
or may at any time suspend or terminate the Plan, through resolution
of its Board of Directors, provided that no change in any Awards
theretofore granted to any Participant may be made which would impair
or diminish the rights of the Participant without the Participant's
consent, and provided further, that no alteration or amendment may
be made without the approval of the holders of a majority of the
Common Stock then outstanding and entitled to vote if such stockholder
approval is necessary to comply with the requirements of any rules
promulgated under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
or such other Federal or state laws or regulations as may be
applicable.

Section 17.	MISCELLANEOUS

     (a)    Fractional Shares - The Corporation shall not be
required to issue or deliver any fractional share of Common Stock
upon the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, the
award of Performance Shares, or the payment of a dividend equivalent
in Common Stock pursuant to Section 12 of the Plan, but may pay, in
lieu thereof, an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of
such fractional share.

     (b)    Withholding - The Corporation and its Subsidiary Companies
shall have the right, to the extent permitted by law, to deduct from
any payment of any kind otherwise due to a Participant any Federal,
state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with
respect to Awards under the Plan, and to the extent any such
withholding requirements are not satisfied, each Participant shall
pay to the Corporation any Federal, state or local taxes of any kind
required by law to be withheld with respect to Awards under the Plan.

     (c)    Stockholder Rights - No person shall have any rights of
a stockholder by virtue of an Option, Stock Appreciation Right, or
Performance Share Unit except with respect to shares of Common Stock
actually issued to him, and the issuance of shares of Common Stock
shall confer no retroactive right to dividends.


     (d)    No Contract of Employment - This Plan shall not be deemed
to be an employment contract between the Corporation or any Subsidiary
Company and any Participant or other employee.  Nothing contained
herein, or in any agreement, certificate or other document evidencing,
providing for, or setting forth the terms and conditions applicable
to any Awards shall be deemed to confer upon any Participant or other
employee a right to continue in the employment of the Corporation or
any Subsidiary Company, or to interfere with the right of the
Corporation or any Subsidiary Company to terminate the employment
of such Participant or employee at any time.

     (e)    Unfunded Plan - Except as may otherwise be provided in
the Plan, the Plan shall be unfunded.  Neither the Corporation nor
any Subsidiary Company shall be required to segregate any assets
that may be represented by Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, or
Performance Share Units, and neither the Corporation nor any
Subsidiary Company shall be deemed to be a trustee of any amounts
to be paid under an Option, Stock Appreciation Right, or Performance
Share Unit.  Any liability of the Corporation to pay any Participant
or Beneficiary with respect to an Option, Stock Appreciation Right,
or Performance Share Unit shall be based solely upon any contractual
obligations created pursuant to the provisions of the Plan; no such
obligation shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or encumbrance
on any property of the Corporation or a Subsidiary Company.

     (f)    Applicable Law - The Plan, its validity, interpretation,
and administration, and the rights and obligations of all persons
having an interest therein, shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, except
to the extent that such laws may be preempted by Federal law.

     (g)    Gender and Number - Wherever used in the Plan, words in
the masculine form shall be deemed to refer to females as well as to
males, and words in the singular or plural shall be deemed to refer
also to the plural or singular, respectively, as the context may
require.

                    located in a Shared Asset Area or in MGA,
                    CSXT and NSR shall divide the allocation on
                    the Percentage Division (by revenue)
                    annually.

                    (ff) Where the origin station and the
               destination station are both Off Line, CSXT and
               NSR shall divide the allocation on the Percentage
               Division.

                    (gg) As to any joint line Existing
               Transportation Contract which involves either CSXT
               and CRC and NSR and CRC, that Transportation
               Contract shall be treated, for the purposes of the
               above rules, as if it involved an NSR or CSXT
               Local origin or off-line destination (as the case
               may be) and only that portion of the
               transportation over former CRC Routes shall be
               governed by the foregoing.

                    (hh) Where, as of the Closing Date, CRC has a
               proportional rate Existing Transportation Contract
               which provides a through rate in combination with
               a separate proportional rate CSXT or NSR
               transportation contract, the separate CSXT or NSR
               transportation contract shall be unaffected and
               only the CRC portion of the transportation shall
               be governed by the foregoing.

          (iv) There shall be a presumption that responsibility
     for the performance of contracts shall follow the
     allocations referred to above and that presumption, except
     in extraordinary cases, shall control in all cases except
     those provided for in Sections 2.2(c)(iii)(C)(cc)(z),
     2.2(c)(iii)(C)(dd)(z), and 2.2(c)(iii)(C)(ee)(z).
     Exceptions in those cases just mentioned shall be made to
     promote   the use of efficient routes, high-quality service
     and consistency of service to customers, and in that
     connection there shall be a presumption against dividing a
     contract between a single destination and a single origin
     between the two carriers.

          (v)  In the case of a single Existing Transportation
     Contract which covers multiple origin and destination pairs,
     allocation of revenue shall be on the basis of each pair but
     CSXT and NSR shall cooperate as necessary to assure that the
     shippers under such Existing Transportation Contracts
     receive the benefits (e.g., volume pricing, refunds, etc.)
     to which they are entitled thereunder, notwithstanding any
     division of responsibility in providing the transportation.


          (vi) Nothing in this Section 2.2(c) shall limit any
     right of the parties to provide service to or enter into
     transportation contracts with shippers with Existing
     Transportation Contracts.

          (d)  All Contracts granting any unrelated Person the
right to bury fiber optic cable longitudinally along Assets shall
be designated as Retained Assets (if any Assets in respect of
which such rights are given are Allocated Assets, NYC or PRR, as
the case may be, will license or otherwise grant rights to CRC or
its Affiliates to maintain the subject matter of the Contracts
granting such rights), except where such rights relate only to
either NYC Allocated Assets or PRR Allocated Assets, in which
case such Contracts shall be designated in the same manner as
such Allocated Assets; provided that NYC and PRR shall, to the
extent permitted under such Contracts that are designated as
Retained Assets, be given equal access to CRC's or its
Affiliate's rights to use capacity on such fiber optic cable and
shall participate equally in any other benefits of such
Contracts.

          (e)  Promptly after the date hereof, CSXT and NSR each
shall appoint up to five members of a committee (the "Contracts
Team").  The Contracts Team shall meet and not later than January
1, 1998 shall negotiate an equitable designation of all Contracts
(other than Transportation Contracts and Contracts otherwise
allocated or designated under the terms hereof) based on the
following guidelines:

          (i)  Contracts that relate predominantly to either NYC
     Allocated Assets, PRR Allocated Assets or Retained Assets
     will be designated in the same manner as such Assets.

          (ii)  Contracts (A) that benefit CRC as a whole (such
     as unfilled system purchase and supply Contracts), (B) that
     relate predominantly to Retained Assets (such as certain
     intermodal terminal Contracts) or (C) that the Contract Team
     cannot designate for whatever reason, shall be Retained
     Assets and CRC shall, to the extent permitted under the
     relevant Contract, subcontract its duties, obligations and
     rights under such Contract to NYC or PRR by value in
     proportion to CSX's and NSC's respective Percentage in
     accordance   with the procedure set forth in Section 8.5(b).

          (f)  Promptly after the date hereof, NSR and CSXT each
shall appoint up to five members of a committee (the
"Communications Team").  The Communications Team shall meet and
not later than January 1, 1998 shall negotiate an equitable
designation of all radio licenses held or owned by CRR, CRC or
their respective Affiliates ("Radio Licenses") based on the
following guidelines:

          (i)  In general, Radio Licenses will be designated as
     PRR Allocated Assets or NYC Allocated Assets depending on
     the designation of the Allocated Assets to which the Radio
     Licenses most relate.  The designation of Radio Licenses
     will be made in such manner as to facilitate and permit
     continued operations on the PRR Allocated Assets and the NYC
      Allocated Assets substantially as conducted before the
     Closing Date.

          (ii)  Base Radio Licenses shall be designated and
     reissued on their present frequencies to PRR or NYC,
     depending on whether the Allocated Assets on or near which
     the   base radio operates are NYC Allocated Assets or PRR
     Allocated Assets.  If the base radio is used for train
     operations on a line that includes both PRR Allocated Assets
     and NYC Allocated Assets, the Radio License shall be
     allocated   in the same manner as the Allocated Assets on
     which the base radio is located and the party allocated such
     Radio License shall grant to the other party the right to
     operate a base station and other needed radio equipment on
     that frequency.

          (iii)  Mobile Radio Licenses (such as those relating to
      engine radios and end-of-train-devices) will be designated
     as NYC Allocated Assets or PRR Allocated Assets giving
     effect to the relative operating needs and existing systems
     of each of NYC and/or CSXT, on the one hand, and PRR and/or
     NSR on the other hand.

          (iv)  Radio Licenses for which the Communications Team
     can not agree upon the designation as PRR Allocated Assets
     or NYC Allocated Assets prior to the Closing Date or that
     are required for CRC operations under the Shared Assets
     Agreements will be Retained Assets and held by CRR for the
     benefit of both NYC and PRR.

          (g)  In connection with its negotiations under Section
2.2(f), the Communications Team also shall not later than January
1, 1998 negotiate an equitable designation in accordance with
CSX's and NSC's respective Percentage of all Unallocated Assets
that are signal and communications equipment or facilities and
leased communications services.  This will include all signal and
communications equipment and facilities and leased services that
are (i) used by CRC system-wide, (ii) used in conjunction with
the operation of both a Route included in NYC Allocated Assets
and a Route included in PRR Allocated Assets (such as a microwave
tower), or (iii) of a character that precludes such Assets from
being logically segregated and designated by Route.  In making
its designation, the Communications Team shall consider, among
other things, Asset value and each party's relative ability to
maintain current operations and compatibility with existing
equipment. Items for which the Communications Team cannot agree
upon the designation as PRR Allocated Assets or NYC Allocated
Assets prior to the Closing Date or that are required for CRC
operations under the Shared Assets Agreements will be Retained
Assets and held for the benefit of both NYC and PRR, although it
is the intention of the parties that such signal and
communications equipment or facilities and leased communications
equipment (other than items required for CRC operations under the
Shared Assets Agreements) be designated to the extent possible as
Allocated Assets.

          (h)  System stockpiles of inventory, material and
supplies of CRR, CRC or their respective Affiliates, regardless
of location (other than such Assets designated as PRR Allocated
Assets pursuant to Section 2.7) are Pooled Assets that shall be
Retained Assets at the Closing Date unless otherwise designated
hereunder.  Promptly after the date hereof, CSXT and NSR each
shall appoint up to four members of a committee (the "Inventory
Team").  In addition to its functions pursuant to Section 2.7,
the Inventory Team shall not later than January 1, 1998 determine
whether and to what extent system stockpiles of inventory,
material and supplies of CRR, CRC or their respective Affiliates
(i) shall be designated as NYC Allocated Assets or PRR Allocated
Assets (such designation to be in proportion to CSX's and NSC's
respective Percentage) or (ii) shall be Retained Assets as to
which NYC and CSXT, on the one hand, and PRR and NSR, on the
other hand, shall have access to in accordance with the procedure
to be determined by the Inventory Team pursuant to this Section
2.2(h).  In making its identification and designation, the Inven-
tory Team shall specify that (i) inventory, materials and
supplies acquired for the purpose of fulfilling third-party Con-
tracts shall be designated in the same manner as and be applied
to fulfill such Contracts and (ii) inventory, materials and sup-
plies held for maintenance of facilities that are included in
Allocated Assets shall be designated in the same manner as such
Allocated Assets.  System stockpiles or portions thereof that are
not specifically designated by the Inventory Team shall be
Retained Assets.  The Inventory Team shall determine an appro-
priate procedure for NYC and CSXT, on the one hand, and PRR and
NSR, on the other hand, to have access to all system stockpiles
of inventory, material and supplies that are Retained Assets by
value in proportion to CSX's and NSC's respective Percentage.

          (i)  Unless otherwise agreed upon by CSX and NSC prior
to the Closing, all computer software and associated data and
engineering CADD systems owned or used by CRR, CRC or their re-
spective Affiliates which may be copied and used by both NYC and
PRR without the permission of, or payment to, any Person shall be
designated in the same manner as the hardware on which it is
stored; provided that PRR shall have the right to copy and to re-
ceive a non-exclusive license of such computer software, rights,
data, licenses and systems that are designated as NYC Allocated
Assets and NYC shall have the right to copy and to receive a
non-exclusive license of such computer software, rights, data,
licenses and systems that are designated as PRR Allocated Assets.
Unless otherwise agreed upon by CSX and NSC prior to the Closing,
all computer software and associated data and engineering CADD
systems owned or used by CRR, CRC or their respective Affiliates
which may not be copied or used (or which may not be copied or
used without the permission of or payment to any Person) by both
NYC and PRR shall be Retained Assets, provided that CRR, CRC and
their respective Affiliates shall use their reasonable commercial
efforts to assign, license or otherwise make available on an
equal basis to each of CSX, NSC or their designees, upon request,
the nonexclusive use of all or any portion of such software,
data, licenses and systems.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
party shall be required to maintain any item of software on
computer equipment included in Allocated Assets, or be required
to make license or other payments for such software, for a period
longer than 12 months.

          (j)  To the extent not otherwise agreed upon by CSX and
NSC prior to the Closing Date, all Pooled Assets shall be Re-
tained Assets available for the benefit of both CSXT and NYC, on
the one hand, and NSR and PRR, on the other hand in accordance
with CSX's and NSC's respective Percentage.  If CSX and NSC agree
prior to the Closing Date that specified Pooled Assets (or groups
of Pooled Assets) should be allocated to NYC or PRR, such speci-
fied Pooled Assets shall, at the Closing, be designated as NYC
Allocated Assets or PRR Allocated Assets, as the case may be.

          Section 2.3.  System Support Operations; Dispatching.
(a) The parties recognize that each SSO Facility has been used by
CRR and CRC to provide a support function benefitting the CRC
rail system as a whole (e.g., system-wide crew management or
signal repair support functions).  It is expected that each of
CSXT and NYC, on the one hand, and NSR and PRR, on the other
hand, may require the use or benefit of or access to the func-
tions and support provided by the SSO Facilities for a period of
time after the Closing Date.  Accordingly, the SSO Facilities
shall be included in Retained Assets and will continue to be
owned by CRR, CRC or its Affiliates.  Until a party terminates
its use of an SSO Facility as provided below, (i) the costs of
operating such SSO Facility shall be included in Corporate Level
Liabilities and (ii) such SSO Facility shall be operated for the
benefit of both CSXT and NYC, on the one hand, and NSR and PRR,
on the other hand, based on their operating and administrative
needs.

          (b)  Each of CSXT and NYC, on the one hand, and NSR and
PRR, on the other hand, shall have the right, upon six months'
prior written notice, to notify the other that it no longer needs
the use of or access to all or any specified portion of the func-
tions performed at a particular SSO Facility.  If the party
receiving such notice notifies the other party within thirty days
of receipt of such notice that it no longer needs the use of or
access to all or the same specified portion of the functions
performed at a particular SSO Facility, then the effective date
of the notice sent by the receiving party shall be deemed to be
the same as that of the notice which it received from the
notifying party.  If the notice relates to less than the entire
SSO Facility, it shall state with specificity the particular
func- tion(s) and/or Continuing CRC Management position(s)
covered by the notice.  Notices may be given at any time before
or after the Closing Date and in each case shall specify an
effective date which shall be a date on or after the Closing Date
that is not less than six months after the date such notice is
given. From and after the effective date of a notice, all costs
associated and incurred after the effective date of such notice
with the SSO Facility (or portion thereof) and Continuing CRC
Management positions identified in the notice shall cease to be
Corporate Level Liabilities and will be allocated entirely to and
be the responsibility of the party continuing to use the
functions performed at the SSO Facility or portion thereof.
Costs associated with an SSO Facility (or portion thereof) or the
Continuing CRC Management employees performing work at that SSO
Facility which are not terminated by such notice but continue to
be incurred for the benefit of both parties will continue to be
Corporate Level Liabilities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Separation Costs associated with Continuing CRC Management
employees after the Control Date shall be allocated and paid as
provided in Article VI.

          (c)  In the case of an SSO Facility as to which both
CSXT and NYC, on the one hand, and NSR and PRR, on the other
hand, have discontinued use of the entire SSO Facility by each
giving six-month termination notices that have become effective,
CSX and NSC will cause CRC and its Affiliates to take such action
as may be appropriate to discontinue the use of or provide for
the disposition of such SSO Facility (which may include a
disposition to NYC or PRR), and costs associated with such SSO
Facility between the effective date of the second notice and such
discontinuance or disposition shall be Corporate Level
Liabilities and the cash proceeds, if any, of such discontinuance
or disposition shall, subject to Section 4.4, be for the benefit
of CRC.

          (d)  The full costs of maintaining and operating SSO
Facilities shall include all direct and indirect costs (excluding
return on investment and system overheads), compensation and
benefits, purchased services, insurance, facility costs and
computer processing costs.  CSX and NSC shall establish
appropriate accounting systems and controls designed to capture
and track such costs.

          (e)  To facilitate the division of dispatching
functions currently performed for the five CRC operating
divisions, NSC and CSX agree that the territorial boundaries of
the operating divisions will be changed and dispatching functions
will be assigned and transferred as follows:

          (i)  Dearborn division:  The Dearborn division office
     building will be included in PRR Allocated Assets.  All
     dispatching functions at such facility will be assigned to
     PRR and NSR except (A) those for dispatching the Cleveland
     East, Cleveland terminal and other Dearborn division
     segments included in the NYC Allocated Assets, which
     functions will be assigned and transferred to NYC and CSXT,
     and (B) those for dispatching of the Detroit Shared Assets
     Area which functions will be assigned and transferred to CRC
     and will   be relocated to a neutral site.

          (ii)  Indianapolis division:  The Indianapolis
     division office building will be included in NYC Allocated
     Assets.  All dispatching functions at such facility will be
     assigned to NYC and CSXT except those for dispatching the
     Marion branch, the Cincinnati line, the West Virginia
     secondary and other Indianapolis division segments included
     in the PRR Allocated Assets, which functions will be
     assigned and transferred to PRR and NSR.

          (iii)  Pittsburgh division:  The Pittsburgh division
     office building will be included in PRR Allocated Assets.
     All dispatching functions at such facility will be assigned
     to PRR and NSR except those for dispatching Pittsburgh
     division segments included in the NYC Allocated Assets,
     which functions will be assigned and transferred to NYC and
     CSXT.

          (iv)  Philadelphia division (Mt. Laurel, NJ):  The
     Philadelphia division office building will be included in
     the Retained Assets.  All dispatching functions at such
     facility will be assigned to PRR and NSR except (A) those
     for dispatching the Trenton line, the River line, the Popes
     Creek secondary, the Herbert secondary, the Landover line
     and other Philadelphia division segments included in the NYC
     Allocated Assets, which functions will be assigned and
     transferred to NYC and CSXT, and (B) those for dispatching
     the North Jersey Shared Assets Area and the South
     Jersey/Philadelphia Shared Assets Area and segments included
     in the Re tained Assets, which functions will be assigned to
     CRC.

          (v)  Albany division:  The Albany division office
     building will be included in the NYC Allocated Assets.
     All dispatching functions will be assigned to NYC and CSXT
     except those for dispatching the Southern tier, including
     the Corning secondary, the New Jersey transit line, the
     Buffalo line and other Albany division segments included in
     the PRR Allocated Assets, which functions will be assigned
     and transferred to PRR and NSR.  The parties intend that the
     dispatching desks, equipment and similar property associated
     with a dispatching function will, to the extent practicable,
     follow the assignment of that function to the party
     designated pursuant to clauses (i) through (v) above, to
     enable such party to perform dispatching necessary in
     connection with the Assets allocated to or used by such
     party.  In addition, the parties recognize that interim
     dispatching services may be required to be provided to each
     other for the above Routes during a brief interim period
     (which shall be no longer than reasonably necessary) and
     that the parties may charge reasonable fees for such
     services.

          Section 2.4.  Transition Period Accommodation.  (a) To
the extent that (i) the CRR headquarters office building in
Philadelphia, PA or (ii) the CRR information technology center in
Philadelphia, PA (both of which are NYC Allocated Assets) were
used by CRR or CRC prior to the Closing Date for the benefit of
the CRR and CRC system as a whole, CSX will (or will cause CSXT
or NYC to) furnish and make available for the benefit of NSC or
its Affiliates access to and use of such NYC Allocated Assets
(including, without limitation, office and other space,
equipment, computer systems, and data and other information) as
are necessary or convenient in order to reasonably accommodate
the needs of NSC, NSR and PRR for the services and functions
performed at such facilities for a transition period not to
exceed (A) twenty-four months following the Closing Date in
respect of the CRR headquarters office building in Philadelphia,
PA and (B) six months following the Closing Date (extendable for
an additional six months at NSC's option) in respect of the CRR
information technology center in Philadelphia, PA.  CSX may
accommodate such needs of NSC, NSR and PRR for such services and
functions using premises in Philadelphia, PA other than the
premises referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section
2.4(a); provided that NSC consents to such arrangement, such
consent not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld.  CSX, CSXT or
NYC, as the case may be, shall furnish and make available to NSC,
NSR or PRR such NYC Allocated Assets at those facilities as may
be reasonably requested by NSC, NSR or PRR; provided that the
nature and scope of the use of such NYC Allocated Assets shall
not be greater than the nature and scope of the use of such NYC
Allocated Assets for the benefit of the CRR and CRC system prior
to the Closing Date.  CSX may charge NSC, NSR or PRR, as the case
may be, charges calculated at fair market value by CSX and NSC
for such use of such NYC Allocated Assets.

          (b)  To the extent that (i) the CRC car shop at
Hollidaysburg, PA or (ii) the CRC locomotive shop at Altoona, PA
(both of which are PRR Allocated Assets) were used by CRR or CRC
prior to the Closing Date for the benefit of the CRR and CRC
system as a whole, NSC will (or will cause NSR or PRR to)
reasonably accommodate the needs of CSX, CSXT or NYC for the
services and functions performed at such facilities for a
transition period not to exceed twenty-four months following the
Closing Date.  NSC may accommodate such needs of CSX, CSXT and
NYC for such services and functions using premises other than the
premises referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section
2.4(b); provided that CSX consents to such arrangement, such
consent not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld.  NSC, NSR or
PRR, as the case may be, shall furnish and make available to CSX,
CSXT or NYC such services and functions at those facilities as
may be reasonably requested by CSX, CSXT or NYC; provided that
the nature and scope of such services and functions shall not be
greater than those which were provided in respect of the NYC
Allocated Assets by those facilities prior to the Closing Date.
NSC may charge CSX, CSXT or NYC, as the case may be, charges
calculated at fair market value by CSX and NSC for such services
and functions.

          (c)  In complying with Section 2.4(a) and Section
2.4(b), (i) the accommodating party will provide or make
available the Assets or the services, functions and systems of,
and data and information from, the specified facilities to the
extent it can reasonably do so and (ii) if the accommodating
party so requests, the party accommodated will use its reasonable
commercial efforts to discontinue its need for such Assets or
services, functions, information, systems and data at the
earliest time practicable following, but not later than
twenty-four months after, the Closing Date (or earlier time as
provided in Section 2.4(a) in respect of the information
technology center in Philadelphia, PA).  Nothing herein shall
preclude a party from agreeing to make available the Assets or
services, functions and systems of and information and data from,
its facilities to the using party after such maximum periods
provided for in Sections 2.4(a) and 2.4(b), but it shall not be
required to do so.

          (d)  CSX will (or will cause CSXT or NYC to) make
available to CRR, CRC and their respective Affiliates the CRR
headquarters office building and the CRR information technology
center in Philadelphia, PA (both of which are NYC Allocated
Assets) for use by those employees identified in clause (b) of
the definition of "Continuing CRC Management" in Section 1.1.
Unless otherwise agreed to by CSX and NSC, CRR, CRC and their
respective Affiliates shall have the right to use those
facilities for such Continuing CRC Management employees to
perform such general, administrative and technical services and
functions for an interim period not to exceed (i) twenty-four
months following the Closing Date in respect of the CRR
headquarters office building in Philadelphia, PA and (B) six
months following the Closing Date (extendable for an additional
six months at NSC's option) in respect of the CRR information
technology center in Philadelphia, PA.  CSX may move such
facilities to new premises or may move the Continuing CRC
Management using the facilities to new premises; provided that
NSC consents to such arrangement, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld and; provided further that CSX and NSC
agree on the new fair market value of such facilities which will
be Corporate Level Liabilities pursuant to this Section 2.4(d).
Until a party terminates its use of the support functions and
services of any such Continuing CRC Management employee as
provided below, the costs of employing such employee and the fair
market value of related facilities shall be Corporate Level
Liabilities and such employee's services will be available for
the benefit of both CSXT and NYC, on the one hand, and NSR and
PRR, on the other hand, based on the operating and administrative
needs of each.

          (e)  Each of CSX and NSC and their respective
Affiliates shall have the right, upon six months' prior written
notice, to notify the other party that the notifying party no
longer needs the support functions and services provided by any
one or more of the Continuing CRC Management employees referred
to in Section 2.4(d).  The notice shall state with specificity
the particular Continuing CRC Management position(s) covered by
the notice.  If the party receiving such notice notifies the
other party within thirty days of receipt of such notice that it
no longer needs the support functions and services provided by
the same (or more) continuing CRC Management employees as are
included in the first notice, then the effective date of such
second notice shall be deemed to be the same as that of the first
notice.  Notices may be given at any time before or after the
Closing Date and in each case shall specify an effective date on
or after the Closing Date, but not less than six months after the
date such notice is given.  From and after the effective date of
such a notice, all costs associated with the Continuing CRC
Management positions identified in the notice shall cease to be
Corporate Level Liabilities but shall be allocated entirely to
and be the responsibility of the party continuing to use the
functions and services provided by such Continuing CRC Management
positions; provided that in the case of Continuing CRC Management
positions as to which both parties have given termination notices
that have become effective, all costs associated with such
Continuing CRC Management positions after the date the second
termination notice becomes effective shall be Corporate Level
Liabilities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Separation Costs
associated with all Continuing CRC Management employees after the
Closing Date shall be allocated and paid as otherwise provided in
Article VI.

          Section 2.5.  Trackage, Haulage, Shared Asset and Other
Operating Agreements.  On the Closing Date and upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of
CRC, CSXT and NSR shall execute and deliver, and the parties
shall cause their respective Affiliates and NYC and PRR to
execute and deliver, the following agreements to which it is a
party:

          (a)  The Trackage Rights Agreements:  A Trackage Rights
Agreement covering each of the Routes listed in Item 1 of
Schedule 4 and containing the terms and provisions applicable to
such Route as set forth in Item 1 of Schedule 4 will be executed
by the parties designated in such Item 1.

          (b)  The CSXT/NSR Haulage Agreements:  A CSXT/NSR
Haulage Agreement covering each of the Routes listed in Item 2 of
Schedule 4 and containing the terms and provisions applicable to
such Route as set forth in Item 2 of Schedule 4 will be executed
by the parties designated in such Item 2.

          (c)  The Shared Assets Agreements.

          (d)  The Other Operating Agreements (in respect of
Other Operating Agreements for which the relevant Exhibit hereto
sets forth all or some of the terms of an agreement rather than
the form of agreement, the parties shall use their best efforts
to agree to the form of such Other Operating Agreements prior to
the Closing Date).

          Section 2.6.  Equipment.  The parties intend that all
Equipment will be allocated between NYC and PRR (either as
Allocated Assets or as Retained Assets which are subject to the
NYC Equipment Agreement or the PRR Equipment Agreement) by series
and condition such that NYC and PRR each receives Equipment by
value in proportion to CSX's and NSC's respective Percentage.
Disputes concerning such allocation shall be subject to binding
arbitration under Section 11.12.  After the Equipment has been
allocated, the parties may agree in their sole discretion to
changes in the allocation giving consideration to other factors.
In furtherance of the foregoing sentence, the parties will
appoint representatives to various teams to consider appropriate
adjustments to allocations of Equipment as described below:

          (a)  Locomotive Equipment.  Promptly after the date
hereof, CSXT and NSR shall each appoint up to three members of a
committee (the "Locomotive Team").  The Locomotive Team shall
meet not later than January 1, 1998, to consider an adjustment to
the allocation of locomotive Equipment (including appurtenances
and assigned or related equipment such as locomotive radios) to
NYC and PRR, taking into consideration the following guidelines:

          (i)  The Locomotive Team shall agree upon parameters to
     be considered in any adjustment to the allocation of
     locomotive Equipment to NYC and PRR, including CRC's book
     value, actual numbers of locomotives, horsepower, tractive
     effort, powered axles, ownership and encumbrances, age and
     condition.

          (ii)  The CSXT appointees and the NSR appointees on the
      Locomotive Team shall separately develop and present to
     each other proposals for any adjustments to the allocation
     of locomotive Equipment to NYC and PRR.

          (iii)  In its negotiations, the Locomotive Team may
     consider CRC yard service, minimizing maintenance costs,
     enhancing reliability, and meeting service needs.  The
     Locomotive Team may consider trades of CSXT and NSR
     locomotives to avoid the division of small groups of
     locomotive Equipment and to minimize the number of different
     models each would have as a result of the allocation.

          (iv)  If agreement is not reached prior to March 31,
     1998, the Locomotive Team will submit a list of disputed
     issues for resolution to the chief operating officers of
     CSXT and NSR.

     (b)  Rolling Stock Equipment.  Promptly after the date
hereof, CSXT and NSR each shall appoint up to four members of a
committee (the "Rolling Stock Team").  The Rolling Stock Team
shall meet not later than  January 1, 1998 to consider an
adjustment to the allocation of rolling stock Equipment
(including cabooses and non-revenue rolling stock but excluding
Work Equipment) to NYC and PRR, taking into consideration the
following guidelines:

          (i)  Consideration may be given to class and builder's
     lot, series within a given AAR car type and AAR Depreciated
     Value.  Consideration may be given to splitting between NYC
     and PRR so as to minimize ongoing maintenance and repair
     cost, facilitate the assignment of car reporting marks,
     permit customary and efficient handling, movement and
     interchange of rolling stock in compliance with the AAR Car
     Service Rules and other applicable industry requirements.

          (ii)  All rolling stock Equipment that CSXT and NSR
     agree is either (A) obsolete or (B) damaged beyond
     economical repair necessary to return the same to service,
     may be grouped in a separate category and allocated between
     NYC and PRR in accordance with CSX's and NSC's respective
     Percentage (based on AAR Depreciated Value).

          (iii)  Consideration will be given to traffic and
     service requirements on the Routes comprising the Allocated
     Assets based on the most current traffic information
     (including current and anticipated traffic density, customer
     needs and transportation requirements).

          (iv)  Head-of-train-devices and end-of-train-devices
     may be allocated between NYC and PRR based on current
     transportation needs and train starts in respect of the NYC
     Allocated Assets and PRR Allocated Assets, as the case may
     be.

          (v)  If agreement is not reached prior to March 31,
     1998, the Rolling Stock Team will submit a list of disputed
     issues to the chief operating officers of CSXT and NSR.

          (c)  Work Equipment.  Promptly after the date hereof,
NSR and CSXT each shall appoint up to three members of a
committee (the "Work Equipment Team").  The Work Equipment Team
shall, not later than January 1, 1998, meet to consider an
adjustment to the allocation of all Work Equipment that is part
of the Unallocated Assets.  The Work Equipment Team may allocate
such Work Equipment to NYC and PRR by value in proportion to
CSX's and NSC's respective Percentage based on category of
equipment, then model, then age and then condition.  If agreement
is not reached prior to March 31, 1998, the Work Equipment Team
will submit a list of disputed issues to the chief operating
officers of CSXT and NSR.

          (d)  Assignment.  CSXT and NSR recognize that it may be
desirable to cause CRC to assign and transfer ownership of
certain of the allocated Equipment to NYC and PRR as part of the
NYC Allocated Assets or the PRR Allocated Assets, respectively,
to the extent such transfer is consistent with existing leases
and financing agreements relating to such Equipment.  If CSXT and
NSR agree, Indebtedness related to Equipment may also be assigned
to and assumed by NYC and PRR as part of the NYC Allocated
Liabilities and the PRR Allocated Liabilities, respectively.

          (e)  Lease of Equipment.  Equipment that is allocated
to NYC and PRR as provided in this Section 2.6  will be made
available to NYC and PRR as follows:  (i) Equipment that is
included in the Retained Assets shall be leased by CRC or its
Affiliates to NYC or PRR, as the case may be, pursuant to the NYC
Equipment Agreement or the PRR Equipment Agreement and will
thereupon be leased or otherwise made available by NYC to CSXT
and by PRR to NSR pursuant to the CSXT Equipment Agreement or the
NSR Equipment Agreement, respectively; and (ii) Equipment that
CSXT and NSR agree shall be assigned and transferred by CRC or
its Affiliates to NYC or PRR, as the case may be, will be
included in the NYC Allocated Assets or the PRR Allocated Assets,
respectively, and will be leased or otherwise made available by
NYC to CSXT and PRR to NSR  pursuant to the CSXT Equipment
Agreement or the NSR Equipment Agreement, respectively.
Liabilities arising from the ownership, operation and maintenance
of Equipment shall be borne by the parties as provided for in the
relevant Equipment Agreements.  If the foregoing arrangements are
impracticable in respect of any Equipment due to the requirements
of any Contracts relating to such Equipment, the parties will
negotiate other arrangements to achieve substantially the same
effect.

          (f)  Equitable Adjustment.  The parties recognize that
the allocation of Equipment in general and the allocation of
Equipment that is collateral with respect to Indebtedness may not
reflect precisely CSX's and NSC's respective Percentage and that
an equitable adjustment may be required with respect to Corporate
Level Liabilities or otherwise to assure that each of NYC and PRR
receives the benefits and bears the costs of Equipment as nearly
as practicable in proportion to CSX's and NSC's respective
Percentage.  The Locomotive Team, the Rolling Stock Team and the
Work Equipment Team, assisted as necessary by CSX and NSC
accounting personnel, shall specify an appropriate adjustment
mechanism which may include, but need not include or be limited
to, trades between CSXT and NSR of locomotive Equipment, rolling
stock Equipment and/or Work Equipment.

          Section 2.7.  Inventory at Altoona and Hollidaysburg.
(a)  As soon as practicable before the Closing Date, the
Inventory Team shall determine the Base Inventory.  "Base
Inventory" (i) will consist of and mean all rolling-stock-related
and locomotive-related inventory and supplies (including
rolling-stock-related and locomotive-related system stockpiles)
of CRR, CRC or their respective Affiliates located at the Altoona
and Hollidaysburg shops as of a date at least thirty days prior
to the anticipated Closing Date to be agreed by the Inventory
Team, and (ii) will exclude (A) all obsolete or damaged material
and supplies and (B) all inventory acquired for the purpose of
fulfilling third-party Contracts which inventory will follow and
be applied to fulfillment of such Contracts.  The Inventory Team
will code and group the items of inventory, materials and
supplies included in the Base Inventory as "new,"
"reconditioned," "re-usable," and the like, and will value the
groups based on CRC's material costs or other mutually agreeable
methodology (excluding additives and overheads).  The sum of the
values of the groups will be the value of the Base Inventory.

          (b)  Rolling-stock-related and locomotive-related
inventory and supplies (including rolling-stock-related and
locomotive-related system stockpiles) of CRR, CRC and their
respective Affiliates located at the Altoona and Hollidaysburg
shops as of the Closing Date will be included in the PRR
Allocated Assets.  To the extent that, after the Closing Date,
any work is performed at the request and for the account of CSXT
or NYC at the Altoona shop or the Hollidaysburg shop pursuant to
Section 2.4(b), CSXT and NYC will not be charged for inventory
and supplies used in such work up to an amount of inventory and
supplies equal to 42% of the total value of the Base Inventory,
but only to the extent that such work requires material and
supplies of the types included in the Base Inventory.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, NSR or PRR will separately charge
CSXT or NYC for the fair market value of work performed for the
account of CSXT or NYC.

          Section 2.8.  Allocated and Retained Liabilities.  The
parties agree that on and as of the Closing Date (x) NYC shall
assume and agree to pay, perform and discharge as and when due
all of the NYC Allocated Liabilities, (y) PRR shall assume and
agree to pay, perform and discharge as and when due all of the
PRR Allocated Liabilities, and (z) CRC and its Affiliates shall
retain and pay, perform and discharge as and when due all of the
Retained Liabilities.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the
parties agree that, in addition to Employee Related Liabilities
that are designated as Allocated Liabilities or Retained
Liabilities under Article VI, the Allocated Liabilities and the
Retained Liabilities shall consist of the following:

          (a)  All Liabilities of CRR, CRC or their Affiliates,
other than Environmental Liabilities (which are expressly
allocated pursuant to Section 2.8(b)), Corporate Level
Liabilities (which are expressly allocated pursuant to Section
2.8(f)), Employee Related Liabilities (which are expressly
allocated pursuant to Article VI), Liabilities referred to in
Section 2.9 or Liabilities expressly allocated to any Person
pursuant to any of the Ancillary Agreements, including
Liabilities associated with the handling and disposition of
Actions, that (i) arise on or after the Closing Date and relate
predominantly to NYC Allocated Assets shall be NYC Allocated
Liabilities, and (ii) arise on or after the Closing Date and that
relate predominantly to PRR Allocated Assets shall be PRR
Allocated Liabilities.

          (b)  Environmental Liabilities (other than
Environmental Liabilities expressly allocated to any Person
pursuant to any of the Ancillary Agreements) shall be designated
as follows:  (i) Environmental Liabilities that relate
predominantly to NYC Allocated Assets shall be NYC Allocated
Liabilities; (ii) Environmental Liabilities that relate
predominantly to PRR Allocated Assets shall be PRR Allocated
Liabilities; and (iii) Environmental Liabilities that do not
relate predominantly to Allocated Assets shall be Corporate Level
Liabilities; provided that, in the case of Environmental
Liabilities allocated to either NYC or PRR pursuant to clause (i)
or (ii) above, NYC or PRR, as the case may be, will be reimbursed
by CRC as amounts are expended by NYC or PRR, as the case may be,
in respect of an Environmental Liability to the extent of the
amount of the reserve existing in respect of such Environmental
Liability as of April 8, 1997, reduced by any payments made and
charged against such reserve prior to the Closing Date, except
that NYC or PRR, as the case may be, will repay the amounts under
this Section 2.8(b) to CRC to the extent that they receive the
proceeds of any insurance recoveries in respect of an Allocated
Liability which exceed such Allocated Liability net of such
payments made.

          (c)  All Liabilities (other than Liabilities expressly
allocated to any Person pursuant to any of the Ancillary
Agreements) associated with the handling and disposition of FELA
Claims made on or after the Control Date shall be NYC Allocated
Liabilities, PRR Allocated Liabilities or Corporate Level
Liabilities based upon the final allocation under this Article II
of the Asset where the incident or incidents giving rise to the
FELA Claim occurred, or, if the FELA Claim arises from an
incident or incidents occurring at more than one location, based
upon the final allocation under this Article II of the Asset most
significantly involved.

          (d)  Except as provided in Section 2.8(a), Section
2.8(b) or Section 2.8(c), all Liabilities associated with the
handling and disposition of Actions arising from incidents which
occur in part prior to the Closing Date and in part on or after
the Closing Date shall be allocated as follows:

          (i)  that portion of the Liability which is fairly
     attributable to incidents occurring prior to the Closing
     Date shall be Corporate Level Liabilities; and

          (ii)  that portion of the Liability which is fairly
     attributable to incidents occurring on or after to the
     Closing Date shall be NYC Allocated Liabilities, PRR
     Allocated Liabilities or Corporate Level Liabilities based
     upon the final allocation under this Article II of the Asset
     where the incident or incidents giving rise to the Action
     occurred, or, if the Action arises from an incident or
     incidents occurring at multiple locations, based upon the
     final allocation under this Article II of the Asset most
     significantly involved.

          (e)  Except as provided in Section 2.9(b) or Section
2.9(c), all Liabilities incurred after April 8, 1997 relating to
the Merger Agreement, including without limitation Liabilities
for CRR Shares, if any, that are put pursuant to the Pennsylvania
Control Transaction Law, shall be Retained Liabilities.

          (f)  Except as provided in Sections 2.8(b) through (e),
all Liabilities that arise prior to the Closing Date and all
Corporate Level Liabilities shall be Retained Liabilities.

          Section 2.9.  Other Liabilities.  (a)  Each of CSX and
NSC shall bear its own Transaction Expenses.

          (b)  CSX shall bear and pay all of CSX's, CRR's, the
Surviving Corporation's and their respective Affiliates'
Liabilities to current or former CRR shareholders with respect to
the handling (which CSX shall control) and disposition (which CSX
shall control) of claims pending on April 8, 1997 in shareholder
Actions pending on April 8, 1997 (other than Actions brought by
NSC or its Affiliates) together with all related litigation costs
(which shall not include CRR legal fees incurred prior to April
8, 1997).

          (c)  CSX's, Green's, CRR's and the Surviving
Corporation's, on the one hand, and NSC's and AAC's on the other
hand, Liability with respect to the handling (which shall be
controlled by the liability bearing party) and disposition (which
shall be controlled by the liability bearing party) of
disclosure-based claims based on disclosures made prior to April
8, 1997 brought by current or former CRR shareholders in
connection with the Merger Agreement, the Amended Second Offer
(as defined in the April 8 Agreement) or the transactions
contemplated thereby based on the accuracy or completeness of
information supplied by such party, together with all related
litigation costs (which shall not include CRR legal fees incurred
prior to April 8, 1997), shall be borne solely by CSX or NSC,
respectively.

          Section 2.10.  Interline Accounts and Allocation.
(a)  The parties acknowledge that interline railroads often
allocate certain assets and liabilities arising from interline
activities between and among themselves on the basis of AAR or
industry agreements and rules, including, without limitation, AAR
rules for the allocation of freight revenues and freight loss and
damage claims.  If any Asset or Liability which is allocated
under this Agreement to NYC or PRR would, in the usual course of
business under applicable AAR or industry agreement, rule or
practice, be allocated between or among participating interline
railroads, then the subsequent allocation of that Asset or
Liability between or among NYC, PRR and/or any railroad
subsidiary of either CSX or NSC under that agreement, rule or
practice shall not in any manner be affected by this Agreement
and the parties shall accept and be governed by that subsequent
reallocation under the applicable AAR or industry agreement, rule
or practice, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement
which may be construed or interpreted to the contrary, including,
without limitation, the provisions of Section 2.2 and Section
2.8.  The parties shall also accept and be governed by any
provision of any AAR or industry agreement, rule or practice
applicable to processes and procedures for dealing with the
circumstances underlying any such subsequent reallocation
(including without limitation the investigation and processing of
third party claims), notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement which may be construed or interpreted to the contrary,
including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 8.14 and
Section 10.2.

          (b)  If any dispute, controversy or claim arises with
regard to the subsequent reallocation of any portion of any asset
or liability allocated under Section 2.10(a), and the pertinent
AAR or industry agreement, rule or practice provides for
arbitration, then the arbitration provisions of that agreement,
rule or practice shall, as to that subsequent reallocation,
supersede any provisions of this Agreement which may be construed
or interpreted to the contrary, including, without limitation,
the arbitration provisions of Section 11.12.

          Section 2.11.  Insurance Proceeds.  Except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, the proceeds of any insurance
recoveries from insurance carried by CRR, CRC or their respective
Affiliates on or prior to the Closing Date covering Assets,
Retained Liabilities or Allocated Liabilities, which are received
on or after the Closing Date, shall accrue to the benefit of and
be held by or paid over to CRC, NYC or PRR in proportion to the
obligation each bears under this Agreement for the particular
Liabilities to which the insurance recoveries are applicable.

                           ARTICLE IV
         CRR PARENT, CRR AND CRC GOVERNANCE AND FUNDING

          Section 4.1.  Pre-Control Date Matters.  (a)  Unless
expressly permitted in another agreement between CSX and NSC,
neither CSX nor NSC will, without the prior agreement of the
other, agree to any modifications of the terms and conditions of,
or give any consent or waiver under, the Merger Agreement,
including without limitation under Section 4.1 of the Merger
Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, neither CSX nor NSC
will, without the other's prior consent, agree to any
determinations with respect to, direct CRR to take any action
with respect to, or object to or prohibit any action with respect
to CRR's employee stock ownership plan, pension plan, stock
employee compensation trust or any other CRR benefit plan,
program, arrangement or other contract, or any trust or other
funding arrangement that is intended to be used in whole or in
part to provide or fund benefits under any CRR or CRC benefit
plans, programs, arrangements or contracts.  In addition, CSX
will consult and agree with NSC prior to providing any notices to
CRR under the Merger Agreement and shall promptly provide NSC
with copies of all written notices provided by CSX to CRR or
received by CSX from CRR under the Merger Agreement.

          (b)  Prior to the Control Date CRR shall be governed in
accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Voting
Trust Agreement.

          Section 4.2.  Post-Control Date CRC Governance.  CRR
Parent shall vote all of the shares in the capital stock of CRC
and all of the parties shall take all other necessary or
desirable action within their respective control to effectuate
the following:

          (a)  Following the Control Date, the business and
affairs of CRC shall be managed under the direction of the CRC
Board consisting of six persons divided into two classes of three
directors.  Three directors shall be designated by CSX (the "CSX
Directors") and three directors shall be designated by NSC (the
"NSC Directors").

          (b)  Approval of the CRC Board shall be required for
all Major Decisions of CRC.  The power of the CRC Board to
approve such actions and decisions shall be exclusive to the CRC
Board, and no officer may take any such action or make any such
decision without the approval of the CRC Board.  Any action or
decision of the CRC Board, whether at a meeting of the CRC Board
or by written consent, may only be taken if approved by a
majority of CSX Directors and a majority of NSC Directors.

          (c)  The CSX Directors may appoint by majority vote one
Co-Chairman (the "CSX Co-Chairman") and the NSC Directors may
appoint by majority vote one Co-Chairman (the "NSC Co-Chairman").
The Co-Chairmen shall preside at all meetings of the CRC Board
and shall have and perform such other duties as may be assigned
to them by the CRC Board.

          (d)  If the office of any CSX Director becomes vacant,
the remaining CSX Directors by a majority vote may appoint any
qualified individual to fill such vacancy, and such individual
shall hold office for the unexpired term and until his or her
successor shall be duly chosen.  If the office of any CSX
Director becomes vacant and there are no remaining CSX Directors,
CSX may appoint any qualified individuals to fill the CSX
Directors vacancies by a writing to such effect.  If the office
of any NSC Director becomes vacant, the remaining NSC Directors
by a majority vote may appoint any qualified individual to fill
such vacancy, and such individual shall hold office for the
unexpired term and until his or her successor shall be duly
chosen.  If the office of any NSC Director becomes vacant and
there are no remaining NSC Directors, NSC may appoint any
qualified individuals to fill the NSC Directors vacancies by a
writing to such effect.

          (e)  Any CSX Director may be removed either for or
without cause at any time, but only by CSX in a writing to such
effect.  Any NSC Director may be removed either for or without
cause at any time, but only by NSC in a writing to such effect.

          (f)  In addition to the two Co-Chairmen of the CRC
Board, the officers of CRC may include a chief executive officer,
one or more vice presidents, a treasurer and a secretary, all of
whom shall be elected by and shall serve at the direction of the
CRC Board.

          (g)  The parties agree to take all necessary action
such that each of CSX and NSC shall have rights identical to
those set forth in paragraphs (a) through (f) above with respect
to the Boards of Directors and management of CRR and each of its
Affiliates in addition to CRC other than NYC and PRR.

          Section 4.3.  Post-Closing Date CRC Funding.  (a)  From
and after the Closing Date, CSX and NSC shall ensure that CRR,
CRC and their Affiliates have sufficient cash to satisfy the
Retained Liabilities as they become due and any operating and
other expenses incurred by CRR, CRC and their Affiliates in the
conduct of their business consistent with this Agreement and the
Ancillary Agreements after giving effect to any Distributions
received or to be received from NYC and PRR.  In furtherance of
the foregoing sentence, following receipt by CRR Parent of
written notice from CRC of a CRC Board decision that CRC requires
such cash, CRR Parent shall provide such cash to CRC by capital
contribution, loan or advance to be made on the next business day
following the expiration of 30 days after receipt of such notice,
unless a later date is determined by the CRC Board or another
date is agreed in writing by CRC and CRR Parent.

          (b)  It is the intent of the parties that the economic
burden of the Corporate Level Liabilities will be borne, directly
or indirectly, by CSX or NSC in accordance with their respective
Percentage.

          Section 4.4.  Post-Control Date CRC and Other
Distributions.  Following the Control Date, subject to any legal
and contractual restrictions, the CRC Board shall cause CRC to
make a Distribution to CRR Parent as soon as is practical and in
any event within 45 days after each fiscal quarter of all cash
received by CRC from operations and any dividends, interest or
other cash Distributions from any Person in which CRC has an
interest which is in excess of 120% of the amount of cash
reasonably contemplated by the CRC Board as being necessary for
the cash payment of CRC's operating expenses (net of receipts),
debt service, contingencies, budgeted capital expenditures and
working capital requirements (all of which shall take into
account cash on hand and future expected cash surpluses and cash
requirements).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Distribution
shall be made which would render CRC insolvent or which is
prohibited by the terms of any Indebtedness of CRC or its
Affiliates.

          Section 4.5.  Operating Fees, Interest Rentals and Base
Rent.  The parties anticipate that as of the Closing Date, the
sum of the following amounts will total seven hundred and fifty
million dollars: (i) Interest Rentals payable under the Shared
Assets Agreements, (ii) Operating Fees payable under the CSXT
Operating Agreement and the NSR Operating Agreement and (iii)
Base Rent payable under the CSXT Equipment Agreement and the NSR
Equipment Agreement.  The parties acknowledge that as of a
Valuation Date, (i) the Interest Rentals, Operating Fees and Base
Rent shall be determined as set forth in the CSXT Operating
Agreement, the NSR Operating Agreement, the CSXT Equipment
Agreement, the NSR Equipment Agreement and the Shared Assets
Agreements and (ii) the allocation between CSXT and NSR of the
Operating Fees and Base Rent payable under the CSXT Operating
Agreement, the NSR Operating Agreement, the CSXT Equipment
Agreement and the NSR Equipment Agreement shall reflect the then
relative Fair Market Rental Values of the NYC Allocated Assets,
the PRR Allocated Assets, the CSXT Equipment and the NSR
Equipment as of the most recent Valuation Date (which allocation,
in the case of a Valuation Date that is also the Closing Date,
shall be a 58% allocation to NSR and a 42% allocation to CSXT).


                           ARTICLE V
             NYC and PRR GOVERNANCE AND CONDUCT

          Section 5.1.   NYC Governance.  From and after the
Control Date, CSX shall have exclusive authority to direct the
appointment of the officers and directors of NYC who shall in
their discretion, but subject to the provisions of this
Agreement, direct the operation of NYC.  Without limiting the
foregoing but subject to Section 5.3, CRC, in its capacity as the
sole member of NYC, shall follow CSX's directions with respect to
the management and operation of NYC to the extent that such
directions are not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement,
the NYC LLC Agreement or any applicable laws and do not involve
the transfer, sale, conveyance, distribution, pledge,
hypothecation, encumbrance or assignment of such membership
interest (other than in connection with a Restructuring).

          Section 5.2.  PRR Governance.  From and after the
Control Date, NSC shall have exclusive authority to direct the
appointment of the officers and directors of PRR, who shall in
their discretion, but subject to the provisions of this
Agreement, direct the operation of PRR.  Without limiting the
foregoing but subject to Section 5.3, CRC, in its capacity as the
sole member of PRR, shall follow NSC's directions with respect to
the management and operation of PRR to the extent that such
directions are not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement,
the PRR LLC Agreement or any applicable laws and do not involve
the transfer, sale, conveyance, distribution, pledge,
hypothecation, encumbrance or assignment of such membership
interest (other than in connection with a Restructuring).

          Section 5.3.  NYC and PRR Actions.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.1 or Section 5.2,
unless it receives the prior written consent of CSX and NSC to
the contrary, CRC, as the sole member of each of NYC and PRR,
shall cause NYC and PRR respectively to enforce, to the fullest
extent permitted by law or Contract, their rights under the
Ancillary Agreements, including any right to receive payments or
any indemnities thereunder.

          Section 5.4.  NYC and PRR Distributions.  The parties
agree that, from and after the Control Date, other than
Distributions made by NYC and PRR contemporaneously and in
proportion to the respective Percentage of CSX and NSC, NYC and
PRR shall not be required, without the consent of CSX or NSC,
respectively, to make any Distributions to CRC or its Affiliates.


          Section 5.5.  Actions.  CRC shall exercise its
ownership interest in NYC and PRR, respectively, and all of the
parties shall take all other necessary or desirable action within
their respective control, in order to effectuate the provisions

                           ARTICLE VI
                        EMPLOYEE MATTERS

          Section 6.1.  Employees of CRR and CRC.  (a)  On the
Closing Date, or as soon thereafter as any applicable labor
agreements, statutes, regulations and STB conditions, and
implementing agreements thereunder, may permit or require, each
of CSX, NSC, NYC or PRR or their respective Affiliates shall make
employment available to CRR and CRC agreement employees pursuant
to the requirements and procedures under the said applicable
labor agreements, statutes, regulations, conditions and
implementing agreements.

          (b) Prior to the Closing Date, each of CSX and NSC and
their respective Affiliates shall comply with the Staffing
Process Guidelines dated June 1, 1997 as adopted by CSX and NSC.

          (c) Not later than thirty days prior to the Closing
Date, CSX and NSC jointly shall determine the location, functions
to be performed by, resources and positions required by, and
methodology for cost determination for Continuing CRC Management.
Each function shall be defined in terms of a description of the
function, the number of positions required to perform the
function and general descriptions of the nature of each function,
including whether it is intended to be performed on an interim or
on-going basis.  CSX and NSC jointly may enter into one or more
agency agreements by which CSX or NSC or their respective
Affiliates may perform any Continuing CRC Management functions.
(d)  To the extent implementing agreements are required by
STB-imposed conditions in order to effect the transactions
contemplated by Article II and Article VI, each party agrees to
use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain implementing
agreements reasonably determined by the parties to be necessary
to effect such transactions.  Where necessary to effect the
transactions contemplated by Article II and Article VI, the
parties will jointly negotiate (and if no agreement is reached
will jointly arbitrate to reach an agreement) an implementing
agreement to which they will be parties with the employee
representative(s) of the appropriate craft or class of employees
of each carrier.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party shall
be required by this Section 6.1(d) to agree to implementing
agreements which it, in its reasonable judgment, determines to be
contrary to its business interests.

          Section 6.2.  Employee Related Liabilities.  Employee
Related Liabilities shall be designated as follows:

          (a)  Separation Costs subsequent to the Control Date
associated with agreement employees at CRC's or its Affiliates'
shops in Altoona and Hollidaysburg shall be the responsibility of
NSR.  Separation Costs subsequent to the Control Date associated
with agreement employees at CRC's or its Affiliates' headquarters
in Philadelphia, technology center in Philadelphia, and customer
service center in Pittsburgh (notwithstanding its joint use as a
SSO Facility) will be the responsibility of CSXT.

          (b)  The on-going employee expenses related to
Continuing CRC Management after the Control Date shall be
Corporate Level Liabilities; provided that (i) each of CSX and
NSC shall have the right pursuant to Section 2.3 to discontinue
use of a Continuing CRC Management function or a position related
to a SSO Facility and (ii) each of CSX and NSC shall have the
right pursuant to Section 2.4 to discontinue use of a function
performed by, or a position occupied by, an employee identified
pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of Continuing CRC
Management.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Separation Costs
associated with Continuing CRC Management employees after the
Closing Date shall be allocated as otherwise provided in this
Agreement.

          (c)  In each instance subsequent to the Control Date
and subject to the provisions of Section 6.2(a) above, (i)
Separation Costs associated with CRC agreement employees working
jobs at or in respect of NYC Allocated Assets will be the sole
responsibility of CSXT, (ii) Separation Costs associated with CRC
agreement employees working jobs at or in respect of PRR
Allocated Assets will be the sole responsibility of NSR, (iii)
for each CRC agreement employee working a job at or in respect of
Retained Assets, Separation Costs will be a Corporate Level
Liability, and (iv) Separation Costs associated with CRC or CRR
agreement employees working jobs at or in respect of two or more
such properties (i.e., NYC Allocated Assets, PRR Allocated Assets
and Retained Assets) will be treated as the responsibility of
CSXT, NSR, or as a Corporate Level Liability, depending upon the
Asset at or in respect of which the employee predominantly works.

          (d)  Subject to Sections 6.2(a) and (e), if an employee
of CRR, CRC or their respective Affiliates on the Control Date
who is subject to any protective conditions imposed by the STB
pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or
the Ancillary Agreements cannot obtain employment with CRC, PRR,
NYC, CSX, NSC or their respective Affiliates after the Control
Date, then the Separation Costs in respect of such employee shall
be included among Corporate Level Liabilities, NYC Allocated
Liabilities or PRR Allocated Liabilities on the basis of whether
the employee performed the preponderance of his or her service in
the six months preceding the first day of the month in which the
Control Date occurred at or in respect of a Retained Asset, an
NYC Allocated Asset or a PRR Allocated Asset.  The Separation
Costs of employees as to whom no reasonable determination can be
made shall be Corporate Level Liabilities, but shall be assigned
on an alternating basis to NYC and PRR for the purpose of
administering the claims.

          (e)  If an employee of CRC, CSX, NSC, PRR, NYC or their
respective Affiliates who is subject to any protective conditions
imposed by the STB pursuant to the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements moves his or her
employment from one of such parties to another of such parties on
or after the Control Date (including any employee in respect of
whom the Separation Costs have already been allocated to one of
CRC, PRR, NYC, CSX, NSC or their respective Affiliates),
responsibility for such employee's Separation Costs arising
thereafter shall be assumed by the new employer; provided that
any relocation costs shall be the responsibility of the first
employer.

          (f)  Separation Costs associated with employees who
were employed by CSX or NSC or their Affiliates on the day
preceding the Control Date will be the sole responsibility of
such employer.

          (g)  Separation Costs associated with employees who
are, as of the Control Date, non-agreement employees of CRR or
CRC (including payments to be made by CSX, CRR or the Surviving
Corporation under the Merger Agreement) shall be Corporate Level
Liabilities.  Compensation and other expenses after the Control
Date associated with those non-agreement CRC employees who are
not designated as Continuing CRC Management and who are not
employed by either CSX or NSC, or their respective Affiliates,
shall be Corporate Level Liabilities until such time as such
employees are no longer employed by CRC.

          (h)  Compensation and other expenses (excluding
Separation Costs) for agreement employees (other than Continuing
CRC Management) working jobs at or in respect of NYC Allocated
Assets shall be the sole responsibility of CSXT.  Compensation
and other expenses (excluding Separation Costs) for agreement
employees (other than Continuing CRC Management) working jobs at
or in respect of PRR Allocated Assets shall be the sole
responsibility of NSR.

          (i)  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.2 to
the contrary, Separation Costs (other than payments made pursuant
to the CRR Stay Bonus Program) under CRR or CRC plans and
agreements (including the Third Amendment) for a CRC
non-agreement employee who becomes employed after the Control
Date by CSX or its Affiliates or NSC or its Affiliates, which
Separation Costs arise subsequent to the date of such employment,
will be borne by the employing party.

          Section 6.3.  Non-Agreement Employee Benefit Plans.
(a)  The employee benefit plans, programs and policies which
currently are provided to the non-agreement employees of CRR, CRC
or their respective Affiliates will continue to be provided to
the non-agreement employees of CRC and its Affiliates and to
non-agreement Continuing CRC Management on and after the Control
Date, unless it is determined jointly by CSX and NSC that such
benefits shall be changed; provided that CSX and NSC shall not
make any changes in such plans, programs or policies that
contravene Attachment A to the CRR Disclosure Schedule delivered
in connection with the Third Amendment.  The costs associated
with such plans, programs and policies shall be Corporate Level
Liabilities, except that Separation Costs shall be allocated and
paid as otherwise provided herein.  CSX and NSC jointly may enter
into one or more agency agreements with CRR, CRC or their
respective Affiliates for CSX or NSC to provide any of such
benefits, programs or policies.

          (b)  Any employee benefit plans, programs and policies
for the employees of NYC and its Subsidiaries shall be the sole
responsibility of NYC and included in the NYC Allocated
Liabilities.  Any employee benefit plans, programs and policies
for the employees of PRR and its Subsidiaries shall be the sole
responsibility of PRR and included in the PRR Allocated
Liabilities.  However, notwithstanding the foregoing, NYC, PRR
and CRC shall provide to each other any information that is
necessary to determine whether any benefit plan is or continues
to be tax qualified, and in the event that NYC, PRR or CRC
reasonably determines that the benefit plans of NYC, PRR and CRC,
when considered together, may cause one or more benefit plans to
lose or fail to obtain their tax qualification, NYC, PRR and CRC
shall agree to appropriate changes to prevent such loss of tax
qualification.

          (c)  CSX, NSC and CRC agree to take any actions
permitted by law that are necessary or appropriate to determine
the amount of excess assets in CRC benefit plans and to allow
allocation to CSX and NSC or their respective Affiliates in
proportion to their respective Percentage; provided that no such
transfer shall reduce the assets remaining in any CRC defined
benefit plans to a level that is less than 100% of the
Liabilities for benefits on a termination basis as reasonably
calculated by Price Waterhouse employing usual and customary
methodology and assumptions and; provided further that no such
transfer shall reduce the assets remaining in any other CRC
benefit plan to a level that is less than 100% of the Liabilities
for those other CRC benefit plans as reasonably calculated by
Price Waterhouse.  CSX, NSC and CRC shall reach an agreement as
to the transfer of accrued benefits and related assets with
respect to employees that are transferred.

          (d)  Any Liabilities incurred prior to the Closing Date
by CRR, CRC or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to
any employee benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement, other
than to the extent a Liability is funded under a CRC benefit
plan, shall be Corporate Level Liabilities.

          Section 6.4    Residual Liability.  The allocation of
liabilities associated with the employees of CRR, CRC or any of
their respective Affiliates hereunder is intended merely to
assign primary responsibility for such liabilities among the
parties.  Nothing in the Agreement shall be interpreted or
construed as a restriction or limitation of the duties and
responsibilities of CRR, CRC, their respective Affiliates and CSX
with respect to employee-related liabilities as set forth in the
Merger Agreement and Attachment A to the CRR Disclosure Schedule
delivered in connection with the Third Amendment.

                          ARTICLE VIII
                           COVENANTS

          Section 8.1.   Conduct of Business.  Except as provided
for in this Agreement or as otherwise consented to by CSX and NSC
in writing, between the Control Date and the Closing Date, the
parties will use reasonable commercial efforts to cause the
Assets to be operated by CRR, CRC and their respective Affiliates
in the ordinary course consistent with past practice and in
compliance in all material respects with all applicable laws and
regulations and will use their reasonable commercial efforts to
preserve intact the Assets, use reasonable efforts to keep
available the services of CRR's, CRC's and their respective
Affiliates' current officers and other key employees as a group
and preserve CRR's, CRC's and their respective Affiliates'
relationships with those Persons having business dealings with
CRR, CRC and their respective Affiliates to the end that their
goodwill and ongoing businesses shall be unimpaired at the
Closing Date.  Without limiting the foregoing, between the
Control Date and the Closing Date, the parties will use
reasonable commercial efforts to ensure that CRR, CRC and their
respective Affiliates continue their maintenance and improvement
of Assets in the ordinary course in accordance with past practice
without discriminating between Assets on the basis of whether
they are or will be NYC Allocated Assets, PRR Allocated Assets or
Retained Assets.

          Section 8.2.  Best Efforts.  Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, each party agrees to use best
efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action, and to do, or
cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or
advisable under applicable laws and regulations to consummate and
make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the Ancillary Agreements.  No party shall knowingly take any
action in contravention of, or which is inconsistent with, the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

          Section 8.3.  Further Assurances; Consents.  (a)  From
time to time after the Closing Date, each of the parties will
execute and deliver such further instruments and will take such
other actions as CSX, on the one hand, or NSC, on the other hand,
may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purposes of
this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and to carry out the
terms hereof and thereof.  To the extent that any consent or
concurrence is required under this Agreement by any party or its
Affiliates, such consent or concurrence shall not be unreasonably
withheld.

          (b)  If any of the Allocated Assets cannot be
transferred as contemplated by this Agreement (other than
Contracts which are dealt with in Section 8.5), the parties will
cooperate to make the Allocated Asset available through whatever
alternative arrangements will best carry out the purpose and
accomplish the intent of this Agreement, except that this
requirement shall not apply to Allocated Assets which cannot be
transferred because of regulatory constraints.

          Section 8.4.  STB Approval.  (a)  The parties will as
expeditiously as possible seek STB approval necessary for the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the Ancillary Agreements.  The parties will use their
reasonable best efforts to obtain such approvals, and no party
will take any position (at the STB or with any other Governmental
Entity or elsewhere) inconsistent with this Agreement and the
Ancillary Agreements.

          (b)  Each of CSX and NSC shall (i) coordinate and
cooperate with one another to prepare and present to the STB, as
soon as practicable, all applications, petitions, notices,
filings and other presentations in connection with seeking all
STB approvals, exemptions or other authorizations necessary to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and by
the Ancillary Agreements, using, to the extent practicable, joint
legal counsel and expert witnesses, (ii) prosecute such
applications,  petitions, notices, filings and other
presentations with diligence, (iii) diligently oppose any
objections to, appeals from or petitions to reconsider or reopen
any such STB approval, (iv) take all such further action as in
their judgment may facilitate obtaining a final order or orders
of the STB approving the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and (v) bear the burden,
without adjustment in the Percentage or other consideration, of
any STB imposed condition it accepts.

          (c)  Each of CSX and NSC shall coordinate and consult
with one another with respect to all settlements involving the
STB approval process.  The parties further agree that, (i) any
settlement or agreement pertaining to the Shared Assets Areas and
the Shared Assets Agreements will require the joint approval of
CSX and NSC; (ii) none of CRR, CRC nor CSX shall make any
settlement or agreement with respect to any PRR Allocated Asset
without NSC's prior written consent; (iii) none of CRR, CRC nor
NSC shall make any settlement or agreement with respect to any
NYC Allocated Asset without CSX's prior written consent and (iv)
nothing contained herein shall require joint action for either
CSX or NSC to enter into any settlement or Transportation
Contract with any shipper or receiver of freight.  CSX and NSC
may act in their sole discretion in respect of the matters set
forth in this Section 8.4(c).

          (d)  If the STB, as a condition to its approval of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements, imposes a non-standard condition which would
materially reduce the benefits to either CSX or NSC from the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements, then the materially affected party may in its sole
discretion (i) accept such condition and proceed with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements, or (ii) appeal such condition to the courts and
postpone the Closing Date for up to thirty months (and its
election under this Section 8.4(d)) until final action on its
appeal, and (iii) if such appeal is unsuccessful, reject the
condition and proceed in accordance with the terms of the Amended
and Restated Voting Trust Agreement.

          Section 8.5.  Other Approvals.  (a)  The parties shall
as expeditiously as possible use their reasonable best efforts to
obtain any consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any
exemption by, any Governmental Entity (other than the STB which
is covered by Section 8.4) or private Person required to be
obtained or made by the parties or their respective Affiliates to
effectuate the purposes of this Agreement or the Ancillary
Agreements and the transactions contemplated herein and therein,
which actions shall include, without limitation, furnishing all
information required under or in connection with approvals of or
filings with any such Governmental Entity or private Person.
Each party shall reasonably cooperate with each other in
connection with the foregoing.  CRC will use reasonable
commercial efforts to transfer and assign to NYC and PRR all
Contracts which are to be transferred pursuant to Article II, it
being understood that CRC shall not seek any consents of any
third party unless requested to do so by NYC, in the case of a
Contract that is a NYC Allocated Asset, or PRR, in the case of a
Contract that is a PRR Allocated Asset, and in no event shall CRC
be obligated to make payments to third parties in order to obtain
such consents.

          (b)  All Contracts and rights which are Allocated
Assets and are not transferred pursuant to Section 8.5(a) shall
be handled in accordance with the following procedure:  (i) CRC
or its Affiliates shall continue to be bound thereby and to hold
the rights thereunder and (ii) NYC, in the case of a Contract
that is a NYC Allocated Asset, and PRR, in the case of a Contract
that is a PRR Allocated Asset, shall pay, perform and discharge
fully all of the obligations of CRC or its Affiliates thereunder
from and after the Closing Date.  CRC or its Affiliates shall,
without further consideration therefor, pay, assign and remit
promptly to NYC or PRR, as appropriate, all monies, rights and
other consideration received in respect of such performance.  CRC
or its Affiliates shall exercise or exploit the rights and
options under all such Contracts only as reasonably directed by
NYC, in the case of a Contract that is a NYC Allocated Asset, and
PRR, in the case of a Contract that is a PRR Allocated Asset, and
at NYC's or PRR's expense.

          Section 8.6.  [Intentionally Omitted.]

          Section 8.7.  Risk of Loss; Forced Disposal.  (a)  In
the event of any loss or damage to or destruction of, prior to
the Closing, any or all of the Allocated Assets by fire or other
casualty, the title to and other rights associated with such
Allocated Assets shall nevertheless pass to NYC or PRR as
provided for herein without any liability or obligation on the
part of any of the parties or their respective Affiliates as a
result of such loss, damage or destruction and without any
adjustment of the Percentage; provided, however, that at the
Closing, CRC shall transfer to NYC or PRR, as the case may be,
CRC's or its Affiliates' rights to any proceeds of any casualty
insurance policies covering such damage or destruction plus the
net proceeds, if any, actually collected by CRC or its Affiliates
under the provisions of the casualty insurance policies, if any,
covering such loss, damage or destruction.

          (b)  If any of the Allocated Assets are disposed of by
CRR, CRC or their respective Affiliates because of conditions
imposed by the STB prior to the Closing, in lieu of the transfer
of such Allocated Assets, CRR, CRC or their respective Affiliates
shall deliver to NYC or PRR, as the case may be, the benefit of
any net after-tax consideration attributable to any such
Allocated Assets received by CRR, CRC or their respective
Affiliates pursuant to such disposition.

          Section 8.8.  Public Statements; Public Filings.  Any
written news releases prior to the Closing and any other
disclosure required to be filed prior to the Closing with any
Governmental Entity (other than routine information and filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission) pertaining to this
Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby will be subject to prior review by
both CSX and NSC prior to release.

          Section 8.9.  Restructuring of CRC.  (a)  It is the
parties' intent that, at some time after the Closing Date, CRC
will transfer PRR or the assets and liabilities of PRR to NSC,
transfer NYC or the assets and liabilities of NYC to CSX or
otherwise separate PRR (for the benefit of NSC) and NYC (for the
benefit of CSX) from CRC in the most efficient manner for U.S.
federal income tax purposes (the transaction separating PRR from
CRC for the benefit of NSC hereinafter referred to as the "PRR
Restructuring", and the transaction separating NYC from CRC for
the benefit of CSX hereinafter referred to as the "NYC
Restructuring").  A Restructuring shall not be consummated unless
(i) CRC obtains a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue
Service (the "Service") substantially to the effect that such
Restructuring qualifies as a tax-free transaction (except with
respect to gain or income required to be recognized with respect
to intercompany items or excess loss accounts pursuant to
regulations under Section 1502 of the Code or with respect to
gain or income recognized in the Restructuring under Section 356
or Section 361 of the Code as the result of the receipt of "other
property or money" within the meaning of such sections, provided
that the amount of such gain or income recognized by CRR or its
Affiliates is not substantial) under the Code (the "Ruling"), or
the parties otherwise agree to proceed with such Restructuring on
the basis of an opinion of tax counsel generally to the same
effect, (ii) any required approval of the STB is obtained, (iii)
Tax indemnities mutually satisfactory to CSX and NSC have been
agreed to and (iv) the conveyance of the CRR Parent interests is
structured in a way to ensure to the mutual satisfaction of CSX
and NSC that after a Restructuring, NSC (in the case of the PRR
Restructuring) and CSX (in the case of the NYC Restructuring)
continue to hold their respective Percentage of the equity and 50
percent of the vote with respect to the Retained Assets and the
Retained Liabilities and NSC (in the case of the PRR
Restructuring) has no continuing interest whatsoever in NYC and
CSX (in the case of the NYC Restructuring) has no continuing
interest whatsoever in PRR.  In addition, a PRR Restructuring
shall not be consummated if, based upon the written opinion of
outside tax counsel to CSX, such Restructuring would more likely
than not impair the ability to consummate a subsequent NYC
Restructuring, and a NYC Restructuring shall not be consummated
if, based upon the written opinion of outside tax counsel to NSC,
such Restructuring would more likely than not impair the ability
to consummate a subsequent PRR Restructuring.  The parties agree
that the application referred to in Section 8.4(b) shall not seek
the authority to effect any transaction referred to in this
Section 8.5.

          (b)  CRC shall seek a Ruling at the request of either
CSX or NSC or both of them.  If CRC seeks a Ruling at the request
of either CSX or NSC or both of them, after consultation with the
party or parties requesting the Ruling, CRC shall prepare the
Ruling request and any supplements or materials relating thereto
that are required to be submitted to the Service in connection
with the Ruling request (each, an "IRS Submission").  Each IRS
Submission shall be true and correct in all material respects,
and all material facts relating to the requested Ruling shall be
disclosed to the Service.  CRC shall provide CSX and NSC with a
reasonable opportunity to review and comment on each IRS
Submission prior to the filing of such IRS Submission with the
Service, and no IRS Submission shall be filed with the Service
unless the party or parties requesting the Ruling have agreed in
writing as to the contents of such IRS Submission prior to such
filing.  CRC shall provide CSX and NSC with copies of each IRS
Submission as filed with the Service.  Neither CRC nor its
Affiliates or representatives shall conduct any communications
with the Service concerning the Ruling request, including
meetings or conferences with personnel from the Service, whether
in person, telephonically or otherwise, without notifying CSX and
NSC and giving CSX and NSC the opportunity to participate.  CRC
shall provide CSX and NSC with copies of any correspondence
between CRC and the Service with respect to the Ruling request.

          (c)  If the requirements of clauses (i), (ii), (iii)
and (iv) of the second sentence of Section 8.9(a) are satisfied
and no opinion meeting the requirements of the third sentence of
Section 8.9(a) is delivered with respect to a Restructuring, NSC
(in the case of the PRR Restructuring) and CSX (in the case of
the NYC Restructuring) shall have the right, consistent with the
Ruling (or opinion of counsel, if applicable), to exchange some
or all of its interests in CRR Parent for PRR (in the case of the
PRR Restructuring) and NYC (in the case of the NYC
Restructuring).  At the request of PRR (in the case of a PRR
Restructuring) or NYC (in the case of a NYC Restructuring) CRR
Parent, CRR, CRC and their respective Affiliates shall take all
action necessary or convenient in the reasonable opinion of PRR
(in the case of a PRR Restructuring) or NYC (in the case of a NYC
Restructuring) to effect a Restructuring that is permitted under
Section 8.9(a).

          Section 8.10.  Provision of Corporate Records.  As soon
as practicable after the Closing Date CRC shall (a) deliver to or
to the order of NYC all NYC Books and Records in the possession
of CRC or its Affiliates and (b) deliver to or to the order of
PRR all PRR Books and Records in the possession of CRC or its
Affiliates; provided that Books and Records that relate to and
are necessary for the operation of both the NYC Allocated Assets
and the PRR Allocated Assets will be duplicated and included in
both the NYC Books and Records and the PRR Books and Records; and
provided further that copies of Books and Records necessary or
useful to the operation of Shared Assets Areas, Continuing CRC
Management, SSO Facilities and other Retained Assets shall be
maintained at CRC.  Such NYC Books and Records and PRR Books and
Records shall be the property of NYC and PRR, respectively, but
shall be retained and made available readily to CRC for review
and duplication, subject to the limitations set forth in Section
8.11, until the earlier of notice from CRC that such records are
no longer needed by CRC and the seventh anniversary of the
Closing Date, but in all events until the tax year to which the
Books and Records pertain is closed or settled with the Service
and/or state tax authorities, unless a longer retention period is
otherwise required by law.

          Section 8.11.  Access to Information.  From and after
the Closing Date, the parties shall afford (and CSX and NSC shall
cause NYC and PRR to afford) each other and each other's
authorized accountants, counsel and other designated
representatives reasonable access and duplicating rights (with
copying costs to be borne by the requesting party) during normal
business hours and at such other times as may be agreed upon to
all books and records and documents, communications, items and
matters, including computer programs and data within each other's
knowledge, possession or control relating to the Assets, the
Allocated Liabilities, the Retained Liabilities or the conduct of
CRC's and its Affiliates' businesses, insofar as such access is
reasonably required by a party or NYC or PRR and is consistent
with applicable law (and shall use reasonable efforts to cause
persons or firms possessing relevant items or information to give
similar access).  Items or information may be requested under
this Section 8.11 only for the following purposes:  audit,
accounting, legal proceedings, litigation, tax preparation,
transition planning and implementation planning purposes, as well
as for purposes of fulfilling disclosure and reporting
obligations.  Information shall be provided pursuant to this
Section 8.11 in accordance with reasonable procedures established
by the parties in order to ensure compliance with the provisions
of Section 8.13 and 8.14.

          Section 8.12.  Production of Witnesses and Individuals.
From and after the Closing Date, CRR Parent, CRC, NYC, PRR, CSX
and NSC shall use reasonable efforts to make available to each
other, upon written request, their respective officers,
directors, employees and agents for fact finding, consultation
and interviews and as witnesses to the extent that any such
person may reasonably be required in connection with any Action
in which the requesting party may from time to time be involved
relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
the Ancillary Agreements, the Assets, the Allocated Liabilities,
the Retained Liabilities or the conduct of CRC's and its
Affiliates' business.  Except as otherwise agreed between the
parties, the parties agree to reimburse each other for reasonable
documented out-of-pocket expenses (but not labor charges, salary
payments or overheads) incurred by the other in connection with
providing individuals and witnesses pursuant to this Section
8.12.

          Section 8.13.  Confidentiality.  The parties shall hold
(and CSX and NSC shall cause NYC and PRR to hold), and shall
cause their respective officers, employees, agents, consultants
and advisors to hold, in strict confidence, unless compelled to
disclose by judicial or administrative process or, in the opinion
of its independent legal counsel, by other requirements of law,
all information furnished it by another party, NYC or PRR or
their respective representatives pursuant to this Agreement or
the Ancillary Agreements (except to the extent that such
information can be shown to have been (i) available to such
Person on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure by the
other Person, (ii) in the public domain through no fault of such
Person or (iii) later lawfully acquired from other sources by the
Person to which it was furnished), and no Person shall release or
disclose such information to any other person, except its
auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers and other
consultants and advisors who shall be bound by the provisions of
this Section 8.13.  In the event that a subpoena, discovery or
other request that arguably calls for production or disclosure of
such confidential information is received, the Person receiving
such request must promptly notify in writing the Person whose
information has been requested.  The Person receiving such
request shall provide the Person whose confidential information
has been requested, a reasonable opportunity to review such
information and to assert any rights it may have with respect to
the potential disclosure of such confidential information.  Each
party shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to hold
confidential information concerning or supplied by the other
parties, NYC or PRR if it exercises the same care as it takes to
preserve confidentiality for its own similar information.

          Section 8.14.  Privileged Matters.  (a)  The parties
agree that from and after the Control Date CRC and its Affiliates
will maintain, preserve and assert all privileges, including,
without limitation, privileges arising under or relating to the
attorney-client relationship (which shall include, without
limitation, the attorney-client and work product privileges) that
relate directly or indirectly to the Assets, the Allocated
Liabilities or the Retained Liabilities or CRC's and its
Affiliates' business for any period prior to the Closing Date
("Privileges").  CRC shall not waive any Privilege that could be
asserted under applicable law without the prior written consent
of CSX and NSC.  The rights and obligations created by this
Section 8.14 shall apply to all information as to which, but for
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements, CRC would have been entitled to assert or did assert
the protection of a Privilege ("Privileged Information"),
including but not limited to (i) any and all information
generated prior to the Closing Date but which, after the Closing,
is in the possession of CSX, NSC, NYC or PRR (ii) all
communications subject to a Privilege occurring prior to the
Closing Date between counsel for CRC and any person who, at the
time of the communication, was an employee of CRC, regardless of
whether such employee is or becomes an employee of CSX, NSC, NYC
or PRR and (iii) all information generated, received or arising
after the Closing that refers or relates to Privileged
Information generated, received or arising prior to the Closing.

          (b)  From and after the Control Date, upon receipt by
CRC or any of its Affiliates of any subpoena, discovery or other
request that arguably calls for the production or disclosure of
Privileged Information or if CRC or any of its Affiliates obtains
knowledge that any current or former employee of CRC or any of
its Affiliates has received any subpoena, discovery or other
request which arguably calls for the production or disclosure of
Privileged Information, CRC shall promptly notify in writing CSX,
NSC, NYC and PRR of the existence of the request and shall
provide CSX and NSC a reasonable opportunity to review the
information and to assert any rights it may have under this
Section 8.14 or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure
of Privileged Information.  CRC will not produce or disclose any
information arguably covered by a Privilege under this Section
8.13 unless (i) CSX and NSC have both provided their written
consent to such production or disclosure or (ii) a court of
competent jurisdiction has entered a final, nonappealable order
finding that the information is not entitled to protection under
any applicable privilege.

          (c)  If there is a reasonable likelihood that the
waiver by CRC of any Privilege could expose CSX, NSC, NYC or PRR
to Liability or could prejudice the other party's position in
pending or threatened litigation, otherwise adversely affect CSX,
NSC, NYC or PRR, CRC will promptly notify in writing CSX and NSC
prior to such waiver, and, at CSX's and NSC's request, CRC will
assert or preserve the Privilege, as applicable, if CRC's
interests will not be adversely affected by its assertion or
preservation of the Privilege.

          Section 8.15.  Administration of Actions.  After the
Closing Date, (a) NYC shall have exclusive authority and control
over the investigation, prosecution, defense and appeal of all
Actions relating primarily to NYC, the NYC Allocated Assets, the
NYC Allocated Liabilities or a Retained Liability (except for
Retained Liabilities for which the monetary claim is more than
$500,000 or injunctive relief is sought) which arose at the
location of a NYC Allocated Asset, or with which a NYC Allocated
Asset is most significantly involved (each, an "NYC Action"), and
may settle or compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment
with respect to, any such NYC Action without the consent of CRC,
NSC or PRR and (b) PRR shall have exclusive authority and control
over the investigation, prosecution, defense and appeal of all
Actions relating primarily to PRR, the PRR Allocated Assets, the
PRR Allocated Liabilities, or a Retained Liability (except for
Retained Liabilities for which the monetary claim is more than
$500,000 or injunctive relief is sought), which arose at the
location of a PRR Allocated Asset or with which a PRR Allocated
Asset is most significantly involved (each a "PRR Action"), and
may settle or compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment
with respect to, any such PRR Action without the consent of CRC,
CSX or NYC; provided that neither NYC or PRR may settle or
compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect
to, any such Action without the prior written consent of the
other if such settlement, compromise or consent to such judgment
(i) includes any form of injunctive relief binding upon such
other party or CRC or (ii) does not include as an unconditional
term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
other party or CRC and any Affiliates of CRC subject to such
Action of a full and final release from all liability in respect
to such claim or litigation.  After the Closing Date with respect
to an Action not covered under clauses (a) or (b) of the
foregoing sentence (including Actions relating to Corporate Level
Liabilities), the handling, administration and disposition of
such Actions shall be the joint responsibility of CSX and NSC and
the costs thereof shall be Corporate Level Liabilities.  In
assigning joint responsibility for the administration, handling
and disposition of Actions to CSX and NSC, hereunder it is not
the parties' intent that CSX and NSC will actually administer,
handle and dispose of such Actions jointly, but rather that CSX
and NSR will agree on the most practical and efficient
arrangements with the objective of eliminating unnecessary
duplication of effort and minimizing overall costs.  The costs
and expenses of the administration and handling of such Actions
shall be Corporate Level Liabilities; provided that the salaries
of, expenses incurred by and overheads associated with full-time
employees of CSX or NSC while engaged in investigating or
handling such Actions shall be the responsibility of the
employing party and shall not be Corporate Level Liabilities.

          Section 8.16.  Administration of FELA Claims.    (a)
The administration, handling and disposition of FELA Claims
(whenever made) that are Corporate Level Liabilities shall be (i)
the responsibility of the party controlling the Allocated Asset
where the incident or incidents giving rise to the FELA Claim
occurred, or (ii) the responsibility of the party controlling the
Allocated Asset most significantly involved if the FELA Claim
arises from an incident or incidents occurring at multiple
locations on Allocated Assets, or (iii) the joint responsibility
of CSX and NSC if the FELA Claim arises from an incident or
incidents occurring at unknown locations or a location not
otherwise covered by clauses (i) or (ii) of this sentence.  In
assigning joint responsibility for the administration, handling
and disposition of FELA Claims to CSX and NSC under the foregoing
clause (iii), it is not the parties' intent that CSX and NSC will
actually administer, handle and dispose of such actions jointly,
but rather that CSX and NSR will agree on the most practical and
efficient arrangements with the objective of eliminating
unnecessary duplication of effort and minimizing overall costs.
The costs and expenses of the administration, handling and
disposition of (A) FELA Claims made prior to the Closing Date and
(B) all other FELA Claims that are Corporate Level Liabilities,
shall be Corporate Level Liabilities and shall be borne by CSX
and NSC in proportion to their respective Percentages; provided
that the salaries of, expenses incurred by and overheads
associated with full-time employees of CSX or NSC while engaged
in investigating or handling such FELA Claims shall be the
responsibility of the employing party and shall not be Corporate
Level Liabilities; provided, further that the party responsible
for the administration of FELA Claims which are Retained
Liabilities shall, before agreeing to any single settlement of a
FELA Claim or group of related FELA Claims, involving a payment
of more than $1 million, obtain the written consent of the other
party.  Failure of either party to respond to such a request for
consent within fourteen days of receipt of such request shall be
deemed to constitute consent.

          (b)  The administration, handling and disposition of
FELA Claims (and the costs and expenses thereof) that are made on
or after the Control Date and that are NYC Allocated Liabilities
pursuant to Section 2.8(c) hereof shall be the responsibility of
CSX.  The administration, handling and disposition of FELA Claims
(and the costs and expenses thereof) that are made on or after
the Control Date and that are PRR Allocated Liabilities pursuant
to Section 2.8(c) hereof shall be the responsibility of NSC.

          Section 8.17.  Tax Matters.  (a)  From the date hereof
until the Closing Date, CRR and Green (i) shall timely and duly
file, or cause to be timely and duly filed, all Tax Returns of
CRR, CRC and their respective Affiliates required to be filed on
or prior to the Closing Date and (ii) other than Taxes being
contested in good faith, shall timely pay, or cause to be timely
paid, all Taxes required to be paid by CRR, CRC or their
respective Affiliates.  From the Control Date until the Closing
Date, CRR and Green, with respect to each of CRR, CRC and their
respective Affiliates, shall not settle or compromise any Tax
Liability, agree to any adjustment to any Tax attribute, change
any method of accounting or make any election with respect to
Taxes without first obtaining the prior written consent of CSX
and NSC.  CRR and its Subsidiaries agree to be included in a
consolidated federal income tax return of Green.

          (b)  From and after the Closing Date, the Tax
Allocation Agreement shall govern the rights and obligations of
Green, CRR, CRC, CRR Industries, PRR and NYC with respect to Tax
matters involving the operations of CRC, PRR and NYC.

          Section 8.18.  Committees.  Within 90 days following
the execution of this Agreement, two committees shall be
established by CSX and NSC:  the "Buffalo Committee" and the
"Vickers Committee".  Both committees shall consist of
representatives appointed by CSX and representatives appointed by
NSC.  The Buffalo Committee will examine the CP-Draw drawbridge
and interlocking in Buffalo, New York and will investigate ways
of minimizing or eliminating conflict between CSX and NSC traffic
flows through the area after the Closing Date.  The Vickers
Committee will examine the Vickers crossing in Toledo, Ohio and
will investigate ways of minimizing or eliminating conflict
between CSX and NSC traffic flows through the area after the
Closing Date.  Within 90 days of appointment, each such committee
will prepare a report detailing options for solving the traffic
conflict problems, along with cost estimates for each such
option.

          Section 8.19.  Chicago Gateway Access.  CSXT and NSR
will preserve and enhance the independent competitive capability
of each to move traffic to and through the Chicago Gateway (as
defined in Schedule 3) by adhering to the requirements of
Schedule 3.

          Section 8.20.  Car Hire and Car Service.  The parties
recognize that industry rules, including the AAR Car Service
Rules, may pose problems with respect to the payment and
collection of car hire in connection with Equipment that is
included in Retained Assets and that is used or operated with the
Allocated Assets and with the Shared Assets Areas.  The parties
shall use their reasonable best efforts and take all actions,
including seeking changes in industry rules, as may be necessary
or appropriate to allow each party, in the most favorable manner
possible, to collect car hire on the Equipment allocated to it
pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof and to pay the car hire due for
cars used or operated with Allocated Assets and with the Shared
Assets Areas.


                           ARTICLE IX
              CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE CLOSING

          Section 9.1.   Conditions Precedent to Obligations.

Closing Date of the following conditions:

Entity prohibiting the consummation of the transactions

          (b)  The STB shall have issued a decision (which
decision shall not have been stayed or enjoined) that constitutes
a final order approving, exempting or otherwise authorizing, as
of such date, consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements as may require such
authorization and neither party shall have exercised a right to
postpone pursuant to Section 8.4(c).

          (c)  Each of CSX and NSC shall have reasonably
determined that it has obtained sufficient labor implementing
agreements so as to be authorized by law to effect the
transactions contemplated by Article II and Article VI.


                           ARTICLE X
                        INDEMNIFICATION

          Section 10.1.  Indemnification.  (a)  Subject to the
provisions of this Article X, CRR Parent and CRR jointly and
severally shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other
parties and any director, officer, employee or agent of any of
them from and against any and all Damages asserted against,
relating to, imposed upon or incurred by any such Person,
directly or indirectly, by reason of or resulting from:

          (i)  the breach or nonperformance of any agreement of
     CRR Parent, CRR, CRC or any of their respective Affiliates
     (other than NYC and PRR) contained in or made pursuant to
     this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements; and

          (ii) any Retained Liability.

          (b)  Subject to the provisions of this Article X, CSX
and CSXT jointly and severally shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the other parties and any director, officer, employee or
agent of any of them from and against any and all Damages

     warranty of CSX, CSXT or their respective Affiliates
     contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or any of
     the   Ancillary Agreements; and

          (ii) the breach or non-performance of any agreement of
     CSX, CSXT or their respective Affiliates contained in or
     made pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary
     Agreements.

     (c)  Subject to the provisions of this Article X, NSC and

          Section 10.2.  Indemnification Procedures.  (a)  If any
Action shall be threatened or instituted or any claim or demand
shall be asserted against any Indemnified Party in respect of
which indemnification may be sought under the provisions of this
Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall promptly cause written
notice of the assertion of any such claim, demand or Action of
which it has knowledge to be forwarded to the Indemnifying Party.
Such notice shall contain a reference to the provisions hereof or
of such other agreement, instrument or certificate delivered
pursuant hereto, in respect of which such claim is being made.
The Indemnified Party's failure to give the Indemnifying Party
prompt notice shall not preclude the Indemnified Party from
obtaining indemnification from the Indemnifying Party under this
Article X unless the Indemnified Party's failure has materially
prejudiced the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend the claim,
demand or Action.

          (b)  If the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification
from the Indemnifying Party as a result of a claim or demand
being made by a third party (a "Third Party Claim"), the
Indemnifying Party shall have the right to promptly assume the
control of the defense of any Action with respect to such Third
Party Claim, including, at its own expense, employment by it of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.  The
Indemnified Party may, in its sole discretion and at its own
expense, employ counsel to represent it in the defense of the
Third Party Claim, and in such event counsel for the Indemnifying
Party shall cooperate with counsel for the Indemnified Party in
such defense, provided that the Indemnifying Party shall direct
and control the defense of such Third Party Claim or proceeding.
The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any
judgment, except with the written consent of the Indemnified
Party, and shall not enter into any settlement of such Third
Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party
which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the

breaches of such provisions and to specifically enforce such
provisions, in addition to any other remedy to which such party
may be entitled, at law or in equity.

          (b)  In no event shall any party be liable to the other
parties for any consequential, indirect, incidental, punitive or
other similar damages including but not limited to lost profits
for any breach or default, or any act or omission arising out of
or in any way relating to, this Agreement, the Assets, the
Retained Liabilities, the Allocated Liabilities, the Ancillary
Agreements, the transactions contemplated herein or therein or
any matter or theory concerning or relating to any of the

          Section 11.4.  Interpretation.  When a reference is
made in this Agreement to Sections, such reference shall be to a
Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.  The
headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes
only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or
interpretation of this Agreement.

          Section 11.5.  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement
(including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and the Ancillary
Agreements and other documents and instruments referred to
herein) and the Merger Agreement, collectively, constitute the
entire agreement and supersede all other prior agreements and
understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof, except the April 8
Agreement to the extent the April 8 Agreement covers matters not
addressed or amended hereby and the CRR Holdings LLC Agreement;
provided that it is the intent of the parties hereto that this
Agreement shall be an effectuation of the April 8 Agreement
consistent with the terms of the April 8 Agreement and that the
provisions of this Agreement should be interpreted to give effect
to the April 8 Agreement; and provided further that in the event
of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the
April 8 Agreement this Agreement shall prevail; and provided
further that CSX and NSC agree that the fourth paragraph of Item
III of Exhibit A to the April 8 Agreement (at page two thereof)
in respect of Lake Erie coal dock capacity is rescinded and no
longer in effect.

          Section 11.6.  Parties in Interest.  This Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each
party and their respective successors and assigns and is not
intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies,
except for the rights of an Indemnified Party as contemplated by
Article X.

          Section 11.7.  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be
governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of New York, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern
under applicable principles of conflicts of law thereof;
provided, however, that the laws of the respective jurisdictions
of incorporation of each of the parties shall govern the relative
rights, obligations, powers, duties and other internal affairs of
such party and its board of directors.

          Section 11.8.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be
executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one
and the same agreement.

          Section 11.9.  Assignment.  (a)  Except as provided in
Section 11.9(b), neither this Agreement (including the documents
and instruments referred to herein) nor any of the rights,
interests or obligations hereunder, shall be assigned by any
party, including by operation of law, without the prior written
consent of the other parties which may be withheld at the sole
discretion of the relevant party.

          (b)  Any party without the consent of the other parties
may assign all or any part of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement to (i) any of its controlled Subsidiaries or (ii)
any successor in the event of a merger, consolidation, sale of
all or substantially all its assets, liquidation or dissolution,
if such assignee executes and delivers to the other parties
hereto an agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance
to such other party under which such assignee, which is
reasonably satisfactory to the other party, assumes and agrees to
perform and discharge all the obligations and liabilities of the
assigning party; provided that any such assignment shall not
relieve the assigning party from the performance and discharge of
such obligations and liabilities.

          (c)  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted
assignees.

          Section 11.10.  Severability.  If any term, provision,
covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of
competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void,
unenforceable or against its regulatory policy, such provision is
to be intended to be ineffective only to the most limited extent
possible in such context and the remainder of the terms,
provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected,
impaired or invalidated.

          Section 11.11.  Lack of Control; Effect on CRR and its
Controlled Subsidiaries.  (a)  None of CSX, CSXT, NSC or NSR
shall be liable for failing to take any action which they are
required to take under this Agreement if the time when CSX, CSXT,
NSC or NSR is required to take such action occurs prior to the
Control Date and such action requires the assistance or
cooperation of CRR or its Board of Directors, which assistance is
requested but not provided; provided, however, that CSX and NSC
shall use their best efforts to obtain such assistance or
cooperation and, after the Control Date, will be required to take
such action if, as and when required by this Agreement.

          (b)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement (which term for purposes of this Section
11.11(b) shall include the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and the
Ancillary Agreements and other documents and instruments referred
to herein), except as expressly set forth in Section 3.2, neither
CRR nor any of its controlled Subsidiaries shall be bound by the
terms of this Agreement (other than Section 8.17) or subject to
any Liabilities or obligations hereunder (other than under
Section 8.17) at any time prior to the Control Date.  CRR and CSX
shall continue to be bound by those terms of the Merger Agreement
that by their terms survive beyond June 2, 1997, including,
without limitation, Attachment A to the CRR Disclosure Schedule
delivered in connection with the Third Amendment; provided that
in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this
Agreement and the terms of such Attachment A, the terms of such
Attachment A shall prevail.

          Section 11.12.  Dispute Resolution.  Any dispute,
controversy or claim (or any failure by the parties to agree on a
matter as to which this Agreement expressly or implicitly
contemplates subsequent agreement by the parties, except for
matters left to the sole discretion of a party) arising out of or
relating to this Agreement, or the breach, termination or
validity hereof, shall be finally settled through binding
arbitration by a sole, disinterested arbitrator in accordance
with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association.  The arbitrator shall be jointly selected by the
parties but, if the parties do not agree on an arbitrator within
thirty days after demand for arbitration is made by a party, they
shall request that the arbitrator be designated by the American
Arbitration Association.  The award of the arbitrator shall be
final and conclusive upon the parties.  Each party to the
arbitration shall pay the compensation, costs, fees and expenses
of its own witnesses, experts and counsel. The compensation and
any costs and expenses of the arbitrator shall be borne equally
by the parties.  The arbitrator shall have the power to require
the performance of acts found to be required by this Agreement
and to require the cessation or nonperformance of acts found to
be prohibited by this Agreement.  The arbitrator shall not have
the power to award consequential or punitive damages.  The
arbitrator's award shall be binding and conclusive upon the
parties to the fullest extent permitted by law.  Judgement upon
the award rendered may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction thereof, which court may order appropriate relief at
law or equity.  All proceedings relating to any such arbitration,
and all testimony, written submissions and award of the
arbitrator therein, shall be private and confidential as among
the parties, and shall not be disclosed to any other Person,
except as required by law and except as reasonably necessary to
prosecute or defend any judicial action to enforce, vacate or
modify such arbitration award.

          Section 11.13.  CRC Status.  The parties intend that
after the Closing Date CRC and its Affiliates shall be a rail
carrier that performs transportation services for the account of
CSXT or NSR, as the case may be, or as agent or subcontractor of
CSXT or NSR, as the case may be.



          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this
Agreement to be duly executed as of the day and year first above
written.

          (b)  If CSXT or NSR shall after the Control Date
acquire, directly or indirectly, ownership, or rights to exercise
effective voting control, of any voting stock in any Chicago Area
Terminal Railroad (the "Interests"), the party acquiring such
Interests (the "Acquiror") shall, at the request of the other
party, sell or transfer to the other party, on terms and condi-
tions substantially the same on a pro rata per Interest basis as
those governing the Acquiror's acquisition of Interests, one-half
of such newly acquired Interests, provided, however, that if the
Interests would give the Acquiror control, not theretofore held,
of a Chicago Area Terminal Railroad, the Acquiror's obligation to
sell or transfer shall attach to the lesser of (A) one-half of
all the Interests (not solely newly acquired Interests) it holds
in that Chicago Area Terminal Railroad, or (B) such portion of
all the Interests (not solely newly acquired Interests) it holds
in that Chicago Area Terminal Railroad as necessary to equalize

such Interest shall be the per Interest price paid by the
Acquiror for the newly acquired Interests.

Date, enter into any arrangement with any Chicago Area Terminal
Railroad, or any other railroad operating in the Chicago Area
related to the Chicago Gateway, under which, in connection with
the grant by such Chicago Area Terminal Railroad or such other
railroad of trackage rights or similar operating rights to either
CSXT or NSR, such Chicago Area Terminal Railroad or other
railroad shall agree not to grant trackage rights or similar
operating rights to the other of CSXT or NSR, with respect to
such Chicago Area Terminal Railroad or the lines of such other
railroad related to the Chicago Gateway.

          (d)  Should CSX or CSXT enter into a transaction in
which either one shall be acquired by Burlington Northern Santa
Fe Corporation ("BNSF"), or in which CSX or CSXT acquires BNSF,
or in which substantially all of the rail operations of CSXT and
BNSF shall be otherwise combined and put under common control or
be merged together in any manner, at the request of CSX and any
successor thereto made no later than one year following the
consummation of such transaction, NSR shall sell and transfer to
CSXT or its successor, at fair value, the Streator Line from
Osborne, IN to Streator, IL (being the rail line located between
Osborne, IN, and Schneider, IN, and Wheatfield, IN, and Moronts,
IL), including all dispatching control with respect to said line.
As used in this subsection, the term "fair value" shall mean the
fair market value as determined by the parties by agreement or,
failing agreement, as determined by binding arbitration.  Any
such sale and transfer shall be subject to all requisite
governmental and regulatory approvals.

          (e)  Any dispute concerning the interpretation or
application of this Schedule 3 shall be finally settled by
binding arbitration pursuant to Section 11.12 of the Transaction
Agreement.  In any such arbitration, the arbitrator(s) shall have
the authority to direct, subject to any required governmental or
regulatory approvals and in accordance with any contractual
limitations on transfer or assignment contained in any agreement
with third parties (except one made in contravention of this
Schedule 3), CSXT, NSR or both to transfer to each other owner-
ship or control of voting stock in any Chicago Area Terminal
Railroad, or to direct the release by a party violating
subsection (c) of any obligation of exclusivity made in such
violation, as are necessary to carry out the purposes of this
Schedule 3.

          replace NSR right of way through streets in downtown
          Erie at its expense.  NSR will have trackage rights in

      Each stockholder shall be entitled to a certificate or
certificates of stock in such form as may be approved by the board
of directors signed by the chairman of the board, a vice chairman,
the president or a vice president and by the secretary or an
assistant secretary or the treasurer or any assistant treasurer.

       All transfers of stock of the corporation shall be made upon
its books by surrender of the certificate for the shares
transferred accompanied by an assignment in writing by the holder
and may be accomplished either by the holder in person or by a
duly authorized attorney in fact.

	In case of the loss, mutilation or destruction of a
certificate of stock, a duplicate certificate may be issued upon
such terms not in conflict with law as the board of directors
may prescribe.

	The board of directors may also appoint one or more transfer
agents and registrars and may require stock certificates to be
countersigned by a transfer agent or registered by a registrar
or may require stock certificates to be both countersigned by
a transfer agent and registered by a registrar.  If certificates
of capital stock of the corporation are signed by a transfer
agent or by a registrar (other than the corporation itself or
one of its employees), the signature thereon of the officers
of the corporation and the seal of the corporation thereon may
be facsimiles, engraved or printed.  In case any officer or
officers who shall have signed, or whose facsimile signature
or signatures shall have been used on, any such certificate
or certificates shall cease to be such officer or officers
of the corporation, whether because of death, resignation or
otherwise, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless
be issued and delivered as though the person or persons who
signed such certificate or certificates or whose facsimile
signature or signatures shall have been used thereon had not
ceased to be such officer or officers of the corporation.

                      Voting of Stock Held

     Unless otherwise ordered by the board of directors, the chief
executive officer, or his designee, shall have full power and authority
in behalf of the corporation to attend and to act and to vote at any
meetings of stockholders of any corporation in which the corporation
may hold stock, and at any such meeting shall possess and may exercise
any and all the rights and powers incident to the ownership of such

possessed and exercised if present, and may sign proxies on behalf
of the corporation with respect to any such meeting or sign consents
on behalf of the corporation with respect to corporate actions
permitted without a meeting of stockholders.  The board of directors,
by resolution, from time to time, may confer like powers upon any
other person or persons.

                               REPORT OF MANAGEMENT

The Stockholders
Conrail Inc.

Management is responsible for the preparation, integrity and objectivity
of the Company's consolidated financial statements. The consolidated
financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America and include amounts
based on management's best estimates and judgment.

The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls and
procedures, which is continually reviewed and supported by written policies
and guidelines and supplemented by internal audit services.  The system
provides reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from
unauthorized use and that the books and records reflect the transactions of
the Company and are reliable for the preparation of financial statements.
The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of a system of
internal accounting controls should not exceed the benefits derived and also
recognizes that the evaluation of these factors necessarily requires
estimates and judgments by management.

The Company's consolidated financial statements are audited by its
independent accountants.  Their audit is conducted in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and
includes a study and evaluation of the Company's system of internal accounting
controls to determine the nature, timing and extent of the auditing procedures
required for expressing an opinion on the Company's financial statements.

The Company's Board of Directors, which is comprised of an equal number of
directors from Norfolk Southern Corporation ("NSC") and CSX Corporation
("CSX"), pursues its oversight responsibilities for the consolidated
financial statements and corporate conduct through periodic meetings with and
written reports from the Company's management.

                             INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Stockholders and Board of Directors
Conrail Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Conrail Inc.
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related
consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2002.  These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America.  These standards require that we
plan and perform the audit 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Conrail
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

                                   CONRAIL INC.
                     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

  Description of Business

Conrail Inc. ("Conrail") is a holding company whose principal subsidiary
is Consolidated Rail Corporation ("CRC"), the major freight railroad in
the Northeast. Norfolk Southern Corporation ("NSC") and CSX Corporation
("CSX"), the major railroads in the Southeast, jointly control Conrail
through their ownership interests in CRR Holdings LLC ("CRR"), whose
primary subsidiary is Green Acquisition Corporation ("Green Acquisition"),
which owns Conrail. NSC and CSX have equity interests in CRR of 58% and 42%,
respectively, and voting interests of 50% each. Under operating and lease
agreements, NSC and CSX operate a substantial portion of the Conrail
properties through their railroad subsidiaries, Norfolk Southern Railway
Company ("NSR") and CSX Transportation, Inc. ("CSXT")(Note 2).

  Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include Conrail and majority-owned
subsidiaries. Investments in 20% to 50% owned companies are accounted for
by the equity method.

  Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of commercial paper, certificates of deposit and
other liquid securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less,
and are stated at cost which approximates market value.

  Material and Supplies

Material and supplies consist of maintenance material valued at the lower
of cost or market.

  Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using
the composite straight-line method over estimated service lives.
Expenditures, including those on leased assets that extend an asset's useful
life or increase its utility, are capitalized.  Maintenance expense is
recognized when repairs are performed. The cost (net of salvage) of
depreciable property retired or replaced in the ordinary course of business
is charged to accumulated depreciation and no gain or loss is recognized.
In 2002, the overall depreciation rate averaged 3.6% for all roadway
and equipment.

The Company is finalizing a study to update the estimated useful lives of
its roadway and equipment property and the associated accumulated
depreciation reserves. Based on this review, the Company anticipates a
pretax increase in overall depreciation expense in the range of $20-$25
million in 2003.


                                       - 7 -

In August 2001, The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations."  This standard which is effective for the
Corporation's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2003, addresses the
accounting and reporting of legal obligations associated with the retirement
of tangible long-lived assets.  The Company is currently evaluating the
impact the new rules may have on its consolidated financial statements.

  Asset Impairment

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable.  Expected future cash flows from the use and disposition of
long-lived assets are compared to the current carrying amounts to determine
the potential impairment loss.

The adoption of SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets", which was effective January 1, 2002, did not have a
material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

  Revenue Recognition

The Company's major sources of revenues are from NSC and CSX, primarily in
the form of rental revenues and operating fees, which are recognized when
earned (Note 2).  Conrail also has third party revenues, which are recognized
when earned, related to the operations of Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad
Company, a 51% owned terminal railroad subsidiary.

  Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements,
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Management reviews its estimates, including those related to the
recoverability and useful lives of assets as well as liabilities for
litigation, environmental remediation, casualty claims, income taxes and
pension and postretirement benefits. Changes in facts and circumstances may
result in revised estimates.

2. Related Parties Transactions

  Background

On May 23, 1997, NSC and CSX completed their joint acquisition of Conrail
stock.  On June 17, 1997, NSC and CSX executed an agreement that generally
outlines the methods of governing and operating Conrail and its subsidiaries
("Transaction Agreement"). On July 23, 1998, the Surface Transportation Board
("STB") issued a written opinion that permitted NSC and CSX to exercise
operating control of Conrail beginning August 22, 1998.  On June 1, 1999,
NSC and CSX began to operate over certain Conrail lines.

  Operations by NSR and CSXT

The majority of CRC's routes and assets are segregated into separate
subsidiaries of CRC, Pennsylvania Lines LLC ("PRR") and New York Central
Lines LLC ("NYC"). PRR and NYC have separate but identical operating and
lease agreements with NSR and CSXT, respectively, (the "Operating Agreements")
which govern substantially all nonequipment assets to be used by NSR and CSXT
and have initial 25-year terms, renewable at the options of NSR and CSXT for
two 5-year terms.  Payments made under the Operating Agreements are based on
appraised values that are subject to adjustment every six years.  NSR and CSXT
have also leased or subleased certain equipment assets at rentals based on
appraised values for varying term lengths from PRR and NYC, respectively, as
well as from CRC.

NSC and CSX also have agreements with CRC governing other Conrail properties
that continue to be owned and operated by Conrail ("the Shared Assets
Areas").  NSR and CSXT pay CRC a fee for joint and exclusive access to the
Shared Assets Areas.  In addition, NSR and CSXT pay, based on usage, the
costs incurred by CRC to operate the Shared Assets Areas plus a profit
factor.

Payments made by NSR to Conrail under the Shared Assets agreements were
$115 million and $168 million during 2002 and 2001, respectively, of which
$23 million and $27 million, were minimum rents.  Payments made by CSXT to
Conrail under the Shared Assets agreements were $92 million and $140 million
during 2002 and 2001, respectively, of which $17 million and $19 million,
were minimum rents.

Payments from NSR under the Operating Agreements to PRR amounted to
$339 million and $331 million during 2002 and 2001, respectively. Payments
from CSXT under the Operating Agreements to NYC amounted to $248 million
and $241 million during 2002 and 2001, respectively.  In addition, costs
necessary to operate and maintain the related assets under these agreements,
including leasehold improvements, are borne by NSR and CSXT.

  Related Party Balances and Transactions

"Due from NSR/CSXT" at December 31, 2002 and 2001, is primarily comprised
of amounts due for the above-described operating and rental activities.

PRR and NYC have interest-bearing notes receivable due from NSC and CSX.
Previously, these notes were payable on demand and classified as current.
However during the first quarter of 2002, they were exchanged for new
longer-term notes. As of December 31, 2002, the notes receivable due from
NSC and CSX included in noncurrent assets were $513 million and $379 million,
respectively. At December 31, 2001, the notes receivable balances from NSC
and CSX under the previous demand note totaled $301 million and $214 million,
respectively. The interest rates on the notes receivable from NSC and CSX
are variable and were both 1.82% at December 31, 2002. Interest income
related to the PRR and NYC notes receivable was $18 million in 2002,
$13 million in 2001 and $10 million in 2000.

"Due to NSC/CSX" includes amounts payable for property and equipment rentals,
as well as amounts related to service provider agreements with both NSC and
CSX to provide certain general and administrative support to CRC.

From time to time, NSC and CSX, as the indirect owners of Conrail, may need
to provide some of Conrail's cash requirements through capital contributions,
loans or advances. Through December 31, 2002 there have been no transactions
under these arrangements.


3. Transition, Acquisition-Related and Other Items

During the first quarter of 2002 and the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company
received cash proceeds totaling $4 million and $42 million respectively, from
several London-based insurance carriers as settlement for current and future
exposures related to personal injury, occupational, environmental and other
claims. The Company recognized pretax gains of $4 million and $14 million,
respectively, which is included in the "Casualties and insurance" line item
of the income statement for 2002 and 2001.

During 2002, accrued termination payments totaling $1 million were made to 6
non-union employees whose non-executive positions were eliminated as a result
of the joint acquisition of Conrail. Most of these termination payments have
been made in the form of supplemental retirement benefits from the Company's
pension plan. During 2001 and 2000 accrued termination payments of
$15 million and $50 million respectively, were made. The remaining amount of
this liability is less than $1 million and is expected to be paid out within
the next year.


                                       - 11 -




During the second quarter of 2001, the Company received a $50 million cash
payment for transferring to a third party certain of its rights to license,
manage and market signboard advertising on the Company's property for
25 years. The payment is being recognized into other income on a straight-
line basis over the 25 year contract period.

Also during 2001, the Company made final settlement of a long-term liability
related to the non-union Employee Stock Ownership (ESOP) termination, which
did not require use of the Company's cash for settlement. The liability, the
balance of which was $20 million at December 31, 2000, was settled as the
remaining cash proceeds held by the ESOP as a result of selling its ESOP
preferred stock in conjunction with the joint acquisition, were allocated to
eligible participants.

During the first quarter of 2000, the Company completed a significant
property sale and recognized a gain of $61 million on the sale ($37 million
after income taxes), which is included in "Other income, net"  (Note 10).

The Company has a long-term liability in connection with employment "change
in control" agreements with certain current and former executives, which
became operative as a result of the joint acquisition of Conrail.  In 2002
and 2001, payments of $1 million and $9 million respectively, were made
primarily from the Company's pension plan.  The remaining amount,
$24 million at December 31, 2002, will be paid out at the discretion of
the participants in the program.

All of the Company's plans for postretirement benefits other than pensions
have no plan assets except for the retiree life insurance plan, which has
$7 million and $8 million of assets in 2002 and 2001, respectively.  The
aggregate benefit obligation for the postretirement plans other than
pensions was $37 million and $36 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001,
respectively.

The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and fair
value of plan assets for the pension plans with accumulated benefit
obligations in excess of plan assets were $639 million, $635 million and
$514 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2002 and $656 million,
$655 million and $605 million, respectively as of December 31, 2001. As
required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 87 "Employers'
Accounting for Pensions", the Company has recorded an additional minimum
liability of $220 million and $123 million at December 31, 2002 and
December 31, 2001, respectively. The additional liability was partially
offset by an intangible asset to the extent of previously unrecognized
prior service costs of $7 million and $8 million at December 31, 2002 and
December 31, 2001, respectively. The remaining amounts are recorded as a
component of stockholders' equity, net of related tax benefits as
"Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss".

The assumptions used in the measurement of the Company's benefit obligation
are as follows:

A 10% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care
benefits was assumed for 2003, gradually decreasing to 5% by the year 2007.

Assumed health care cost trend rates affect amounts reported for the health
care plans.  The effect of a one percentage point increase and (decrease) in
the assumed health care cost trend rate on the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation is $1 million and $(1) million, respectively.

The components of the Company's net periodic benefit cost for the plans are
as follows:

  Savings Plans

The Company and certain subsidiaries provide 401(k) savings plans for union
and non-union employees.  Under the Company's current non-union savings
plan, 50% of employee contributions are matched for the first 6% of a
participating employee's base pay and 25% of employee contributions are
matched in excess of 10% of a participating employee's base pay.  Savings
plan expense related to the current non-union savings plan was $1 million in
each of the years 2002, 2001 and 2000. There is no Company match provision
under the union employee plan except for certain unions, which negotiated a
Company match as part of their contract provisions.


  Incentive Compensation Plans

The Company has an incentive compensation plan for all non-union employees in
which employees receive targeted cash awards upon attainment of certain
performance criteria established by the Company's Board of Directors.
Compensation expense under this plan was $3 million in 2002, $2 million in
2001 and $5 million in 2000.


                                       - 18 -



The Company also has a long-term incentive plan under which phantom stock
options are granted to officers and other key non-union employees. The option
price for the phantom shares is equal to the blended fair market value of
NSC and CSX common stock at the date of grant. Options will vest one year
after grant date and the option term may not exceed ten years. Upon exercise,
eligible participants will receive cash payments equal to the appreciation
on the composite NSC and CSX common stock fair values. Compensation expense
for this plan was less than $1 million in 2002 and 2000 and $2 million
in 2001.


9. Stockholders' equity

  Common Stock

On May 23, 1997, the NSC/CSX joint tender offer for the remaining
outstanding shares of Conrail's common and preferred stock was concluded,
and on June 2, 1997, Conrail became the surviving corporation in a merger
with Green Merger Corp. and remained the only subsidiary of Green
Acquisition, an entity jointly-owned by NSC and CSX.  As a result, the
remaining outstanding capital stock of Conrail was acquired by NSC and CSX
and Green Acquisition was issued 100 shares of Conrail's common stock.

  Undistributed Earnings of Equity Investees

"Retained earnings" includes undistributed earnings of equity investees of
$199 million, $180 million and $157 million at December 31, 2002, 2001 and
2000, respectively.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

  Environmental

The Company is subject to various federal, state and local laws and
regulations regarding environmental matters.  CRC is a party to various
proceedings brought by both regulatory agencies and private parties under
federal, state and local laws, including Superfund laws, and has also
received inquiries from governmental agencies with respect to other
potential environmental issues.  At December 31, 2002, CRC has received,
together with other companies, notices of its involvement as a potentially
responsible party or requests for information under the Superfund laws with
respect to cleanup and/or removal costs due to its status as an alleged
transporter, generator or property owner at 35 locations. Due to the number
of parties involved at many of these sites, the wide range of costs of
possible remediation alternatives, the changing technology and the length
of time over which these matters develop, it is often not possible to
estimate CRC's liability for the costs associated with the assessment and
remediation of contaminated sites.

Although the Company's operating results and liquidity could be
significantly affected in any quarterly or annual reporting period if CRC
were held principally liable in certain of these actions, at December 31,
2002, the Company had accrued $66 million, an amount it believes is
sufficient to cover the probable liability and remediation costs that will
be incurred at Superfund sites and other sites based on known information
and using various estimating techniques. The Company anticipates that much
of this liability will be paid out over five years; however some costs will
be paid out over a longer period.  The Company believes the ultimate
liability for these matters will not materially affect its consolidated
financial condition.

The Company spent $6 million in 2002, $10 million in 2001 and $9 million in
2000 for environmental remediation and related costs.  In addition, the
Company's capital expenditures for environmental control and abatement
projects were less than $1 million in both 2002 and 2001 and approximately
$1 million in 2000.

  Casualty

The Company is involved in various legal actions, principally relating to
occupational health claims, personal injuries, casualties and property
damage. The casualty claim liability is determined actuarially, based upon
claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. The
Company is generally self-insured for casualty claims. Claims in excess of
self-insurance levels are insured up to excess coverage limits. While the
ultimate amounts of claims incurred are dependent upon future developments,
in management's opinion, the recorded liability is adequate to cover
expected probable payments.


                                       - 20 -



During both 2002 and 2001, the Company, based on favorable claims
development, recognized actuarial determined gains of approximately
$16 million and $12 million respectively, which is included in the
"Casualties and insurance" line item of the income statement.

  Labor

CRC had 1,415 employees at December 31, 2002; approximately 89% of whom are
represented by 11 different labor organizations and are covered by 16
separate collective bargaining agreements.  The Company was engaged in
collective bargaining at December 31, 2002 with labor organizations
representing approximately 54% of its labor force.

  Guarantees

CRC currently guarantees the principal and interest payments in the amount
of $30 million on Equipment Trust Certificates for Locomotive Management
Services, a general partnership of which CRC holds a fifty percent non-
controlling interest. In addition, CRC is also contingently liable as
guarantor with respect to $7 million of indebtedness for an affiliate
company, Triple Crown Services. No liability has been recorded related to
these guarantees.

Also the Company may be contingently liable under indemnification
provisions related to the sale of tax benefits. This liability is recorded
in the "Other liability" line item of the balance sheet and totaled
$13 million at both December 31, 2002, and December 31, 2001.


12. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The fair values of "Cash and cash equivalents," "Accounts receivable,"
"Notes receivable from NSC/CSX" and "Accounts payable" approximate the
carrying values of these financial instruments at December 31, 2002
and 2001.

Using current market prices when available, or a valuation based on the
yield to maturity of comparable debt instruments having similar
characteristics, credit rating and maturity, the total fair value of
the Company's long-term debt, including the current portion, but
excluding capital leases, is $1,254 million and $1,204 million at
December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, compared with carrying values
of $988 million and $1,008 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001.
