The Surface Transportation Board extended its consideration of Conrail's breakup by 45 days to allow Norfolk Southern and CSX Corp. to submit their ideas for integrating safety plans into the proposal. Both CSX and Norfolk Southern said they do not see a problem submitting a safety integration plan within the required time frame as they pursue joint acquisition of Conrail.

A CAPITAL CITY TO DO BUSINESS: Richmond was rated the 10th-best city in North America to do business by Fortune magazine. New York City and Cleveland, two cities with troubled pasts, are rated among the best cities for business in rankings released Monday. New York, once more a ``shrine to capitalism'' because of dramatic improvements, topped the 1997 list for North America. Cleveland was rated sixth for shaking its image as the ``Mistake by the Lake.''
