Norfolk Southern

The U.S Department of Justice announced a settlement with Norfolk Southern Corp. and Norfolk Southern Railway Co. to resolve allegations that the Atlanta-based freight railroad delayed Amtrak passenger trains on Amtrak’s Crescent Route in violation of federal law.

A new report says none of the nation’s largest freight railroads have joined a voluntary federal safety program despite earlier promises to do so.

Rio Grande Pacific Corp. today announced its enthusiastic support for the proposed merger between Union Pacific Railroad and Norfolk Southern Corporation.
