The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (“BLET”),

of Teamsters, announced today that it has determined, after careful
review and new developments since the proxy battle began, that a
change in leadership at Norfolk Southern Corporation (NYSE: NSC)
(“Norfolk Southern”) is necessary and in the best interest of both
BLET members and the railroad’s long-term success.
“BLET’s three elected General Chairmen representing locomotive
engineers and trainmen at Norfolk Southern met with Ancora’s
leadership team yesterday and determined that they are the right
leaders for Norfolk Southern moving forward,” said BLET National
President Edward Hall. “After the railroad’s CEO Alan Shaw hired
COO John Orr and following the public comments of both those
executives on their strategy for NS, our General Chairmen
determined that a change at the top is needed. Although this
decision was not easy, the General Chairmen believe it is
necessary.”
