>> NORFOLK SOUTHERN EXPANSION?:
>> Numerous reports indicate that Norfolk Southern is interested in
>> purchasing the former Pennsylvania Railroad "Panhandle" mainline from
>> the Ohio Central System. The line extends from Mingo Junction, OH to
>> Columbus, OH. Acquisition of the line would help to ease severe
>> congestion. Norfolk Southern officials have surveyed the property and
>> have placed it at the top of their priorities list. No further details
>> are available at this time.
