I think that this is probably one of the best TRAINS Magazine issues that's ever been produced. I really liked how they talked about the ILLINOIS DIVISION, I think it even mentioned Princeton Indiana's Toyota Plant that NS serves. NS definetely does a lot of business at Princeton. NS is indeed the best managed and best operated railroad. David R. Goode seems to know how to run a successful railroad. I think he has a Passion for Norfolk Southern that will keep Norfolk Southern running strong for a long time. NS also is very good at serving small customers, around here they haul grain for small elevators, 2 box cars of bricks, 2 or 3 gondolas of just stuff, and a few other small items for the small business customers around here. NS has successfully combined the Past with the Present. Here, they still use tractors and speeders to help push around grain cars, that's definetely neat to see that happen, but they also run fast High Priority Intermodal and General Freights through, so we see a Big Variety of all kinds of things on NS. NS's future is definetely very good. I also want to add that I think that a lot of people that like BNSF and UP and live out west should stop going around saying that NS will be acquired and will disappear. For starters, they do not understand NS or how it runs. NS is run totally different from all other railroads. I think that BNSF and UP do a great job out west and that's where they should stay. NS has very good company spirit. All of the conductors and engineers I've talked to all say they love their jobs and would not work for any other railroad other than NS. They feel lucky for being able to work for such a great company. NS, for the most part, seems to be like a big family with most of their employees having good company spirit. Keep up the Good Work NS.
