                                POWER OF ATTORNEY
                     For Executing SEC Forms 3, 4, 5, and 144
                         (and/or other similar reports)


	Know all men by these presents, that I, the undersigned, hereby
constitute and appoint Denise W. Hutson, the Corporate Secretary and Joseph C.
Wolfe, the Assistant Corporate Secretary, signing singly, my true and lawful
attorney-in-fact to:

	(1)	execute for and on my behalf SEC Forms 3, 4, 5, and 144
(including both amendments thereto and any and all other
similar reports, however hereafter known, designated or
identified) ("Report") in accordance with (a) Section 16(a)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules
thereunder and (b) Rule 144, concerning securities of
Norfolk Southern  Corporation;

	(2)	do and perform any and all acts for and on my behalf which
may be necessary or desirable to complete any such Report(s)
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 (date)

___January 10, 2022__.
