and to effect the timely filing of such Report(s) with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission and with any authority, agency,
exchange or other body as may be required, or thought advisable, by my
attorney-in-fact; and

		(3)	take any other action of any type whatsoever in
connection with the foregoing which, in the opinion of my attorney-in-fact,
may be of benefit to, in the best interest of, or legally required of, me,
it being understood that the documents executed by my attorney-in-fact on
my behalf pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in such form and
shall contain such terms and
conditions as my attorney-in-fact, in her or his sole discretion, may
approve.

		I hereby [1] grant to each and every of my attorneys-in-
fact full power and authority to do and to perform all and every act and
thing whatsoever requisite, necessary and proper to be done in the
exercise of any of the rights and powers herein granted, as fully to all
intents and purposes as I or any such attorney-in-fact might or could do
if personally present, with full power of substitution or revocation, and
[2] ratify and confirm all that any of my attorneys-in-fact, or her or his
substitute(s), lawfully shall do or cause to be done by virtue of this
Power of Attorney and the rights and powers herein granted.  I acknowledge
that each and every of the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in serving in such
capacity at my request, are not assuming any of my responsibilities to
comply with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or with Rule
144.

		Unless earlier revoked by me in a signed writing delivered
to an attorney-in-fact, as to each such attorney-in-fact, this Power of
Attorney shall remain in full force and effect (and shall survive, if
necessary, my incapacity and/or death) until I no longer am required to
file Report(s) with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to
my reportable beneficial ownership, and any other holdings, of and
transactions in securities of Norfolk Southern Corporation or pursuant to
Rule 144.

		IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this Power of Attorney
as of this 1st day of December, 2021.
