What the manager wrote
Norfolk Southern Corporation is a leading Class I freight railroad in the United States, operating approximately 19,200 route miles across 22 eastern states and the District of Columbia. The recent insider buying by the Chairman and Directors suggests they view the stock as potentially undervalued or support the premium offered in the Union Pacific merger. The importance of railroads in the reindustrialization of America cannot be overstated, although regulatory hurdles and the long timeline for the merger limit the upside. Overall, the company is positioned to benefit from significant infrastructure developments.

What the manager wrote
I originally purchased Norfolk Southern (NSC) in late 2022. I think the North American rails are irreplaceable assets and had the potential to be run more efficiently over time and perhaps earn the right to move greater volumes. Over time, I did not get the sense that this business was well operated or that returns on incremental capital would improve. I saw better opportunities elsewhere and decided to move on.
