The earnings report for Norfolk Southern is in- and it's the only good news the company has heard in months.
Earnings are up 13-million dollars since the last quarter of 1999.
But even so, big changes are on the way to cut costs at the railroad.

[RUNS=18]

A slow down in vehicle production means Norfolk Southern won't be shipping nearly as many cars OR raw materials used to build those cars.
That's one of the reasons N-S has decided to sell off three to four thousand miles of track.
The company also plans to cut one to two thousand jobs over the next 12 months.
David Goode refused to specify when and where those job cuts will take affect. [TC: 20:09:31] ((DAVID GOODE: WE DON'T WANT TO PROVIDE YOU WITH TOO GENERAL A NUMBER AT AN EARLY STAGE IN OUR GOAL SETTING.))

The group is CONSIDERING a plan that would consolidate four of the county's high schools into two. Students would attend Bassett or Magnavista high schools. But the proposal has drawn criticism from some parents who say their children would have to ride the bus for more than an hour one way. So--the board and other school officials road the route to find out how long it would take. The ride timed out to 61 minutes from the Mountain Valley community to Magnavista high school. The county's transportation director says that's reasonable.
