FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The material on this site does or may contain "forward-looking statements," as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other applicable law. Such statements, which usually are introduced with words such as "expect," "anticipate," "plan," "believe," and other words having a similar meaning and used in connection with future events, are founded on expectations, assumptions, estimates, and projections that reflect Management's good-faith evaluation of information available at the time the statements were made. As such, they are based upon and will be influenced by a number of external variables, which are more particularly described and identified in the Company's most recent annual report and quarterly report to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, over which the Company may have no or incomplete control, such as (1) changes in the economic or credit environment in the United States and abroad; (2) competitive conditions and pricing levels; (3) legislative and regulatory developments; (4) terroristic acts and the subsequent economic effects; (5) changes in the weather and climatic patterns; (6) changes in the price of petroleum; (7) war or the risk of war; and (8) other risks and uncertainties not now identified. Additionally, the variables noted in the Company's most recent SEC filings are incorporated herein by reference. Because of these variables, actual outcomes and results already or eventually may differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements. This caveat may have particular significance in connection with revenue losses/diversions and expenses incurred in the Conrail integration, as well as with the realization and timing of benefits expected to result from Norfolk Southern Railway Company's operation of certain Conrail assets.
The Company and its officers undertake no obligation publicly to correct or update any forward-looking statement; should they elect to update one or more such statements, they undertake no obligation to make further updates, with respect either to the updated statement(s) or to any other statement. Corrections and updates may appear in the Company's public filings with the SEC, which you are advised to consult. Readers especially are reminded that any forward-looking statement herein was believed in good faith to be accurate and reliable as of the date it was made. |
