Item 1.01.       Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On November 8, 2007, the Registrant and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Transfer and Administration Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 99 (the "Agreement"), establishing the Registrant's $500 million receivables securitization facility (the "Facility").  The other parties to the Agreement are Thoroughbred Funding, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant ("TFI"); Norfolk Southern Railway Company, the Registrant's wholly-owned operating subsidiary, as Originator and as initial Servicer ("NSR"); the Conduit Investors from time to time party thereto; the Committed Investors from time to time party thereto; the Managing Agents from time to time party thereto; and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the Administrative Agent for the Investors and as a Managing Agent.   

Under the terms of the Facility, NSR sells substantially all of its eligible third party receivables to TFI, a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity, and retains servicing responsibility.  The assets of TFI are not available to satisfy the creditors of any other person, including any of the Registrant's affiliates.  TFI then transfers interests in the receivables to various commercial paper vehicles.

With respect to the other parties to the Agreement, the Registrant has or may have had customary banking relationships based on the provision of a variety of financial services, including pension fund, cash management, investment banking, and equipment financing and leasing services, none of which are material individually or in the aggregate with respect to any individual party.  

As of the date hereof, the Facility remains undrawn.
