Sources: Figures are from Norfolk Southern's Q4/Full Year 2025 earnings release and accompanying quarterly financial data (filed with the SEC January 29, 2026). Operating ratio and operating income are the railroad industry's standard profitability metrics and are included alongside GAAP net income per industry convention. No credible, specifically-sourced third-party estimate of Norfolk Southern's share of the North American rail freight market was found (industry market-share data is typically reported as tonnage or revenue shares across all Class I railroads rather than as a single named third-party percentage estimate for one carrier), so no market-share figure is included.
