Norfolk Southern Service Alert <br /> <br />Hurricane Katrina Update #4 <br /> <br />September 8, 2005 <br /> <br />Norfolk Southern continues to make rapid progress toward restoration of <br />service into the New Orleans area with most of our effort currently <br />focused on repair to the Lake Pontchartrain Bridge and our lines south <br />of the bridge into New Orleans. Several areas of track south of Lake <br />Pontchartrain still remain under water. <br /> <br />An embargo of traffic to and from points south of Hattiesburg, <br />Mississippi, remains in effect. Depending on progress in removal of <br />flood water in the area, we anticipate having restoration of some <br />interchange traffic to connecting carriers through New Orleans in a few <br />days. <br /> <br />In the meantime, we continue the cooperative effort with other carriers <br />to re-route traffic normally handled over New Orleans to points west <br />via alternate gateways. Customers seeking information on active <br />shipments should contact the Customers Service Operations Center at <br />(800) 635-5768. <br /> <br />For questions regarding local service in the affected area, please <br />contact our Central Yard Operations Center at (800) 898-4296. <br /> <br />------------------ <br />Norfolk Southern Corporation <br />www.nscorp.com <br />
