Norfolk Southern Corp

One of the largest freight railroads in the eastern United States, it hauls merchandise, coal, and intermodal containers and trailers across its network for agriculture, chemicals, automotive, and other shippers. It was created in 1982 when the Norfolk and Western and Southern railways combined into one holding company. The railroad brands itself "The Thoroughbred of Transportation," and its early marketing used real racehorses as mascots, including one named David.
