Cover Story:
Inside the Long-Term Strategy at Norfolk Southern
At the start of 2016, Norfolk Southern Corp. announced a five-year strategic plan to cut $650 million from annual expenses by 2020. The plan aims to improve customer service, drive productivity and growth, and improve earnings per share. A year-and-a-half into the plan, how is it working out? What has the Class I done to meet its targets to date? And will NS feel pressured into speeding up its goals now that precision railroader Hunter Harrison is running CSX, Norfolk Southern's No. 1 competitor? This month, Progressive Railroading will explore those questions and more in a report on Norfolk Southern's long-term strategy.
