How did NS compete with CSX?

Same way the N&W always competed with C&O. C&O had more coal business and an easier railroad to handle it on than N&W. They didn't have N&W's curves, N&W's grades, didn't have any more passenger business to support, and they had the advantage on the west end of taking Lake Coal all the way to the lake where N&W had to give it to connections at Columbus. <br /> <br />C&O should have mopped up Wall Street with the N&W, but was never anywhere near the moneymaker N&W was. <br /> <br />So, to me, it means that N&W's management was better. Always. And NS's is still better. <br /> <br />Old Timer
