It’s about Growth – not cutting. Matt Rose, Railway Age, 3/6/2019.

Less is not better. Matt Rose, Railway Age, 12/10/2018 – “The Staggers Act wasn’t, ‘Railroads, haul only what you want to haul on your network.’ It’s ‘Haul everything, and you have the ability and the flexibility to differentially price on your network.’ That’s the deal, and it’s in the public’s best interest to move more tons to the railroad network, not to move tons off the railroad network.”

About Commitment to Working Collaboratively? “‘An ecosystem of collaboration,’ is what former CEO Claude Mongeau says of [CN’s] supply chain approach, which aims to build trust while improving service and efficiency for railway and customer alike. ‘It’s the gift that keeps on giving … . It leads, eventually, to ideas you didn’t know were possible'” Trains, March 2017.

“Industries, jobs and taxes want to go where the railroad is.”
Wick Moorman, CEO Norfolk Southern, Congressional Testimony  4/24/2013.
