FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Nov. 17, 2014

Norfolk Southern and the Delaware�& Hudson propose rail line transaction to support rail service and the economy in the Northeast

NORFOLK, VA., and CALGARY, ALBERTA � Norfolk Southern Corp. (NS) and the Delaware�& Hudson Railway Co. (D&H), a subsidiary of Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) today announced a proposed transaction under which NS would acquire 282.55 miles of D&H rail line between Sunbury, Pa., and Schenectady, N.Y. The $217 million sale, subject to approval by the U.S. Surface Transportation Board, would benefit customers, competition, and jobs in the northeastern United States.

�Acquiring this portion of the D&H provides for more efficient rail transportation system by consolidating freight operations with a single carrier,� said NS CEO Wick Moorman. �Aligning the D&H track with Norfolk Southern�s 22-state network allows us to connect businesses in central Pennsylvania, upstate New York and New England with domestic and international markets while enhancing the region�s competitive rail and surface transportation market.�

The lines to be acquired connect with NS� network at Sunbury, Pa., and Binghamton, N.Y., and would give NS single-line routes from Chicago and the southeastern United States to Albany, N.Y., and NS� recently built Mechanicville, N.Y., intermodal terminal. NS also would gain an enhanced connection to its joint venture subsidiary Pan Am Southern, which services New England markets. Additionally, NS would acquire D&H�s car shop in Binghamton along with other facilities along the corridor.

�As we have stated in recent months, we�ve been in the process of negotiating the final details for the potential sale of the southern portion of our D&H line,� said CP CEO E. Hunter Harrison. �We are pleased to find a prospective buyer in Norfolk Southern.�

As part of the transaction, NS would retain and modify overhead trackage rights on the line between Schenectady, Crescent, and Mechanicville, N.Y., as well as Saratoga Springs, N.Y. The D&H would retain local access to serve customers in Schenectady and would maintain its access to shippers in Buffalo.

NS intends to retain its current employees and offer employment to about 150 D&H employees currently working in this area. Any adversely affected employees will be entitled to standard labor protections.

�This acquisition would preserve good-paying railroad jobs and set the stage for economic growth,� said John Friedmann, NS vice president of strategic planning. �Absent this transaction and its efficiencies, we are concerned that rail service along much of New York�s Southern Tier would be threatened with losing a crucial link to New England.�

NS has submitted an application for the transaction to the U.S. Surface Transportation Board. The rail companies are proposing a schedule that would lead to approval during the second quarter of 2015.

Its Norfolk Southern Railway Company subsidiary operates approximately 20,000 route miles in 22 states and the District of Columbia, serves every major container port in the eastern United States, and provides efficient connections to other rail carriers.
