Summary
Norfolk Southern Corporation (NSC) filed an 8-K/A amendment on January 22, 2014, to correct an error in a press release previously issued on the same date. The press release reported the company's fourth quarter and full-year 2013 results. The specific error involved the reporting of railway operating revenues, which was mistakenly stated as $11.2 million in the concluding summary, while the correct figure of $11.2 billion was accurately presented in the opening paragraph. This amendment serves to clarify the financial reporting for the period. Investors should note that the accompanying unaudited financial information provided with the original press release was accurate. The company has posted a corrected version of the press release on its website to ensure transparency and address the typographical error. This filing primarily addresses a data discrepancy and does not indicate a change in the company's reported financial performance for 2013.
