Mobile has CN, NS, and CSX. Who's the 4th class 1?

New Orleans has KCS, NS, CSX, UP and CN - that makes 5 class ones. NOPT would fit the passenger station clue.

I'll second NO and assume that KCS isn't being counted as a class 1.

the 4th class 1 is BNSF [8D] KCS is the smallest class 1
now days it was the smallest when it became a class 1 but before CN merged with the IC in 2000 IC was the smallest
