Norfolk Southern Secures $600 Million Boost to Power Sustainable Transportation Growth

Norfolk Southern is proud to announce that we have successfully raised $600 million in new funding, marking a significant milestone in our journey to enhance the nation’s freight transportation network. Since our founding in 1827, Norfolk Southern (NYSE: NSC) has been at the heart of powering the U.S. economy by safely moving a diverse range of goods and materials. Today, our customer-centric approach and operations-driven strategy have enabled us to develop a comprehensive network that spans 19,000 route miles, including the largest intermodal network in the eastern United States. This fresh capital infusion is slated to further expand our ability to serve a majority of the country’s population and its vital manufacturing sectors, reinforcing our connections to every major container port from the Atlantic coast to the Gulf of Mexico and the Great Lakes. The funding will be strategically invested in upgrading our technological infrastructure and modernizing our equipment to boost operational efficiency while also supporting our long-standing commitment to sustainability. By continually improving our rail services, Norfolk Southern will help customers avoid an estimated 15 million tons of annual carbon emissions through environmentally friendly shipping methods. Our dedicated railroaders already deliver more than 7 million carloads each year, making us the largest rail shipper of auto products and metals in North America and a trusted partner across diverse industries. As we embark on this exciting new phase of innovation and growth, we remain steadfast in our mission to keep America moving, ensuring that our infrastructure not only meets but exceeds the evolving needs of our customers and communities.
