Norfolk Southern Preparing For Sustained Growth, Moorman Tells Annual
Meeting Of Stockholders

NORFOLK, VA – Norfolk Southern Corporation (NYSE: NSC) is maintaining
the positive momentum of two years of growth created by “major shifts
in the transportation sector in this country,” said Chief Executive
Officer Wick Moorman during the company’s 24th annual stockholders
meeting, held today in Norfolk.

Moorman referred to 2004 and 2005 as “the best two consecutive years
that our company, and the industry, has seen for a long time.” He said,
“Thus far in 2006, we have been able to maintain our positive
momentum.”

Moorman said the chief reason for Norfolk Southern’s success “has been
our ability to provide ongoing reliable service to our customers in the
face of continuing growth on our network.” He also credited the
company’s focus on technology and the “hard work, ingenuity and
dedication of our people every day.”

In official business, stockholders re-elected three directors: Daniel
A. Carp, former chairman and chief executive officer of Eastman Kodak
Company; Steven F. Leer, president and chief executive officer of Arch
Coal, Inc.; and Moorman. Stockholders also ratified the appointment of
KPMG LLP as auditors.
