Join fellow rail executives for an exclusive webcast: Rail’s Great Experiment, the Cult of OR & New Battle Lines Webcast. It promises invaluable insights into the current dynamics of the railroad industry, particularly the ongoing developments at Norfolk Southern, and other critical factors influencing the sector.

Hosted by Progressive Railroading's Editor-in-Chief Pat Foran, this webcast features independent transportation industry analyst and Progressive Railroading columnist Tony Hatch, renowned for his astute observations and no-holds-barred assessments. Hatch will delve into the headline-heavy first quarter in rail, with a specific focus on Ancora's push for leadership changes at Norfolk Southern.

What do these disruptions and diversions mean for the North American intermodal market? Who stands to benefit from the trade pattern shifts, and who doesn't? Could we see a return to 2021 supply chain congestion or a return to scarcity? Or have port and rail improvements helped to provide a better way (or ways) forward?

Here are some key points Hatch will cover:

1.

Ancora's Agenda: Gain a comprehensive understanding of Ancora's specific objectives and the implications for Norfolk Southern.

2.

NS Response: Explore how Norfolk Southern is responding to the challenges posed by Ancora's activism and what strategies they may employ.

3.

Beyond Regulatory Bodies: Understand the potential involvement of other stakeholders beyond the FRA and STB in the ongoing conversations, shedding light on the broader industry impact.

4.

Existential Threats: Discover Doug's insights into what he terms as another potential existential threat to the Great Experiment — an exploration of the implications for railroads and investors thinking longer term.

5.

Class Is' Year-End Earnings: Delve into a detailed analysis of Class Is' year-end 2023 earnings and their far-reaching implications for the current year and beyond.

6.

Pivoting to Growth: Assess the possibilities of railroads pivoting to growth amidst the evolving industry landscape.


This exclusive webcast is an unparalleled opportunity to gain context, insights, and strategic perspectives that can guide decision-making in these times for the rail industry.
