NS President and CEO Alan Shaw emphasized the company’s dedication to regaining market share from trucking through enhanced rail service, positioning NS as a key service organization.
Both CSX and NS are extending their reach, working collaboratively with Western U.S. Class I railroad counterparts. They recognize the strategic advantage of a healthy West Coast port system and are strategically positioned to adapt to shifts between West and East Coast port volumes.
