Data furnished by Bloomberg Financial Markets. 2 1 Dear Fellow Stockholders In the past few years, Norfolk Southern and the rest of the rail industry saw an unprecedented period of both traffic and revenue growth, resulting in a very strong financial performance and superior shareholder returns. These years of growth were driven by a strong economy and fundamental changes in the transportation marketplace — among them higher fuel costs, increased highway congestion, and continued shortages of long-distance truck drivers — that played to the strengths of our industry. 2007 was, in my opinion, a watershed year for us in that it answered the question of how real and long-lasting our improved performance would be in the face of an economic downturn. The answer was a strong affirmation that our prospects remain very bright. Railway operating revenues, income from railway operations, and diluted earnings per share set records, even as the downturn in housing, softness in the automotive sector, and increased motor carrier capacity made for a year in which our volumes were down 4 percent and our net income was essentially flat. Earnings per share increased 3 percent, driven by our re-purchase of 24 million shares. For most of the year and for the beginning of 2008 as well, we believed our shares were trading at a price that made re-purchasing a good way to return The keys to this success, along with all of our other Like every year, 2008 will have its challenges and money to investors while providing a superior return for our remaining shareholders. successes, are the people of Norfolk Southern. No opportunities, but the demand for high-quality rail We also increased our dividend for the sixth consecutive year, this time by an better or more important illustration of that is the fact transportation will continue to be strong.
