                                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) March 22, 2024.
