What is the main purpose of this 8-K filing?

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to formally report Norfolk Southern Corporation's second quarter 2010 financial results and related information to the SEC and its investors. It also provides access to the detailed materials used in the company's investor communications regarding these results.

Where can I find the actual Q2 2010 financial results?

The actual detailed financial results for Q2 2010 are not directly in the 8-K form itself. However, the filing directs investors to two attached exhibits: Exhibit 99.1 (Conference Call Transcript) and Exhibit 99.2 (Webcast Slides), which contain this information. These documents are also available on Norfolk Southern's website under the 'Investors' tab.

What is the significance of the 'shall not be deemed filed' statement?

The statement that the information under Item 2.02 shall not be deemed 'filed' means that while it is reported to the SEC, the company is not assuming the same legal liability for this specific content (especially concerning Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as it would for a formally filed document. This is a common practice for earnings releases and webcast materials furnished as exhibits.

What kind of information can I expect in the conference call transcript and webcast slides?

You can expect detailed discussions on Norfolk Southern's financial performance for the second quarter of 2010, including revenue, expenses, profitability, and key operational metrics. Management's commentary on the company's performance, market conditions, and potentially their outlook for future quarters would also be included.
