5 Growth Continues in the Intermodal Space Rising freight demand Domestic International from both coasts Continued demand for logistics savings Increasing demand for higher quality intermodal services in mile lanes Increasing environmental awareness Increasing motor carrier costs and capacity constraints Increasing view by public transportation officials that freight rails can be part of the freight capacity solution

6 Public Benefits of Rail Rail is almost entirely privately-funded Fuel Conservation Environmental Advantages Public Safety Rail mitigates growing highway congestion Rail is lower cost and helps businesses compete

7 Helping Businesses Compete Average Inflation-Adjusted RR Rates* Down 55% Since 1981 *Average revenue per ton-mile, Class I railroad, 2009 dollars. Source: AAR

25 Rickenbacker Global Logistics Park The Rickenbacker logistics park and FTZ integrates Intermodal, carload, air freight and logistics capabilities 15,000 acres of existing or planned development, Over 39 million sq ft of existing development Located 18 miles from Columbus Anchored by NS new Intermodal facility and the Rickenbacker airport

26 Alum Creek Drive Serves as the only direct connection between Rickenbacker and the Interstate System Federal Highway Administration Intermodal Connector Serious challenges Congestion issues, that challenge Rickenbacker s success Quality of life of local residents.

27 What s the Problem? Groveport Road Intersection is the Constraining Point Long Queues on Groveport Road Long Northbound Queues Constrains Northbound Traffic at Ramps Southbound Queues exceed available storage between intersections Southbound backups impede traffic at the Ramp intersections EB Off Ramp Queues extend onto Freeway Mainline

32 Heartland Corridor/East Coast Access With the completion of the Heartland Corridor and connectors, we will have improved access to more locations in the Ohio Valley: Columbus Cincinnati Improved access to ports in: Norfolk Charleston Savannah Jacksonville

33 Creating Options for Ohio The Heartland Corridor is completed, but NS will continue to invest in projects that will benefit all of Ohio NS has the assets in place to provide multiple options for efficient Intermodal services for Ohio shippers Intermodal terminals in Ohio s key metropolitan areas Double stack routes to New York/New Jersey and Norfolk Efficient interchange in Chicago to reach points West Potential to reach Florida and the SE ports Going forward, we look forward to growing our partnership with various shippers and other entities to identify additional benefits for Ohio
