Norfolk Southern Corp. says it is starting to win over customers to its railway amid disruptions at rival CSX Corp, whose network is undergoing an extensive overhaul under a new chief executive.An X-Ref to the related CSX Forum topic:
“We have seen some business move over to us,” Norfolk Southern Chief Marketing Officer Alan Shaw said on an earnings call Wednesday. “It’s a small amount, I’ll tell you that, but it’s early.”
