NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Eastern Ohio incident

On February 3, 2023, a train operated by Norfolk Southern derailed in East Palestine, Ohio. During the first six months of 2023, we recognized $803 million of expense for costs primarily associated with environmental matters and legal proceedings resulting from the incident ($416 million of which was recognized in the second quarter). While certain costs recorded may be recoverable from third parties or under our insurance policies in effect at the date of the incident, no estimate of potential recoveries has yet been recorded.

 

2. Stock Repurchase Program

We repurchased and retired 1.3 million and 5.7 million shares of common stock under our stock repurchase programs in the first six months of 2023 and 2022, respectively, at a cost of $303 million and $1.5 billion.
