Norfolk Southern had a strong summer.
The railroad says its third-quarter profits more than doubled, helped by surging railway revenue and a one-time gain from the reorganization of its Conrail unit.
Even when you exclude a gain of 53 (m) million dollars from reorganizing Conrail, Norfolk's earnings were 59 cents per share.
That easily topped estimates of 54 cents from analysts.
