Event with respect to a series of Notes.

successor rating categories of Moody’s); with respect to S&P, a rating of BBB- or better (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of S&P); and, with respect to any additional

SECTION 2.08. Change of Control Repurchase Event. 

(a) If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs with respect to a series of Notes, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem such
Notes pursuant to paragraph 5 of the applicable Notes, the Company will make an offer to each Holder of such Notes to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of $1,000) of that Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price (the

regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflict. 

(c) On the Repurchase Date following a Change of Control Repurchase Event, the Company will, to the extent lawful: 

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Repurchase Offer; 

(2) deposit with the Trustee or with such Paying Agent as the Trustee may designate an amount equal to the aggregate Repurchase
Price for all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

 (d) The Trustee will promptly mail, or cause the Paying Agent to
promptly mail, to each Holder of Notes, or portions of Notes, properly tendered the Repurchase Price for such Notes, or portions of Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder
a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered, as applicable; provided that each Note will be in a principal amount equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF 2029 NOTE] 

2.550% Senior Note due 2029 

1.     Interest 

NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORPORATION, a Virginia corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter
referred to, being herein called the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. The Company will pay interest semiannually in arrears on May 1 and
November 1 of each year, commencing May 1, 2020. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from November 4, 2019. Interest shall be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate per annum borne by the Notes, and it shall pay interest
on overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum borne by the Notes to the extent lawful. 
 2.     Method of Payment

 The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are Holders at the close of business on the
April 15 or October 15, as the case may be, next preceding the Interest Payment Date even if Notes are canceled after the record date and on or before the Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect
principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Notes represented by a
Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depository. The Company will make all payments in respect of a definitive Note (including
principal, premium, if any, and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on the Notes may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of Notes, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such
effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion). 

3.     Paying Agent and Registrar 

Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association (the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and
Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice. The Company or any of its domestically incorporated Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 

4.     Indenture 
 The
Company issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of February 28, 2018, as supplemented by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 4, 2019 (together, the “Indenture”), between the Company and the
Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those 












 
stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the
Indenture (the “TIA”). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of those terms. Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined in this Note have the meanings
ascribed thereto in the Indenture. 
 The Notes are unsubordinated, unsecured obligations of the Company. This Note is one of the series of
Securities referred to in the Indenture, designated as the Company’s “2.550% Senior Notes due 2029” (the “Notes”) and initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $400,000,000. The Notes include such $400,000,000
aggregate principal amount of Notes and an unlimited aggregate principal amount of additional Notes that may be issued under the Indenture. Such Notes and such additional Notes will be treated as a single series and class of Securities under the
Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to create or incur Liens, the Restricted Subsidiaries to create or incur Funded Debt and the Company to consolidate or merge with or
into any other Person or sell, transfer, assign, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to any Person. 

5.     Optional Redemption 

The Notes will be redeemable as a whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company as set forth in this paragraph
5. If the Notes are redeemed prior to the date that is three months prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes, the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed will be equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes or
(ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon to and including the date that is three months prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes (exclusive of interest accrued to, but not
including, the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury
Yield plus 15 basis points, plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not including, the Redemption Date. 

If the Notes are redeemed on or after the date that is three months prior to the Stated Maturity, the Redemption Price for the Notes to be
redeemed will equal 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date. 

“Treasury Yield” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (1) the yield, under the heading which represents the
average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no
maturity is within three months before or after the date that is three months prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the
Treasury Yield will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, 

  
 2 













 
rounding to the nearest month) or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per
annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield-to-maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a
percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price of such Redemption Date. The Treasury Yield will be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date. 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having
a maturity most comparable to the date that is three months prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes, that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt
securities of a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes. 
 “Independent Investment Banker” means one of the
Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means (A) the average of five
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (B) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations, the average of all such quotations. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of (i) BofA Securities,
Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC; and (ii) two other primary U.S. Government securities dealers in New York, New York (“Primary Treasury Dealers”) appointed by the Company and their respective
successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing ceases to be a Primary Treasury Dealer or otherwise fails to provide a Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation, the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means a quotation for a Comparable Treasury Issue provided by a Reference Treasury
Dealer. 
 6.     Sinking Fund 

The Notes are not subject to any sinking fund. 

7.     Notice of Redemption  

Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF 2049 NOTE] 

3.400% Senior Note due 2049 

1.     Interest 

NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORPORATION, a Virginia corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter
referred to, being herein called the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. The Company will pay interest semiannually in arrears on May 1 and
November 1 of each year, commencing May 1, 2020. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from November 4, 2019. Interest shall be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate per annum borne by the Notes, and it shall pay interest
on overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum borne by the Notes to the extent lawful. 
 2.     Method of Payment

 The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are Holders at the close of business on the
April 15 or October 15, as the case may be, next preceding the Interest Payment Date even if Notes are canceled after the record date and on or before the Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect
principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Notes represented by a
Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depository. The Company will make all payments in respect of a definitive Note (including
principal, premium, if any, and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on the Notes may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of Notes, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such
effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion). 

3.     Paying Agent and Registrar 

Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association (the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and
Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice. The Company or any of its domestically incorporated Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 

4.     Indenture 
 The
Company issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of February 28, 2018, as supplemented by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 4, 2019 (together, the “Indenture”), between the Company and the
Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those 












 
stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the
Indenture (the “TIA”). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of those terms. Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined in this Note have the meanings
ascribed thereto in the Indenture. 
 The Notes are unsubordinated, unsecured obligations of the Company. This Note is one of the series of
Securities referred to in the Indenture, designated as the Company’s “3.400% Senior Notes due 2049” (the “Notes”) and initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $400,000,000. The Notes include such $400,000,000
aggregate principal amount of Notes and an unlimited aggregate principal amount of additional Notes that may be issued under the Indenture. Such Notes and such additional Notes will be treated as a single series and class of Securities under the
Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to create or incur Liens, the Restricted Subsidiaries to create or incur Funded Debt and the Company to consolidate or merge with or
into any other Person or sell, transfer, assign, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to any Person. 

5.     Optional Redemption 

The Notes will be redeemable as a whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company as set forth in this paragraph
5. If the Notes are redeemed prior to the date that is six months prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes, the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed will be equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes or
(ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon to and including the date that is six months prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes (exclusive of interest accrued to, but not
including, the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury
Yield plus 20 basis points, plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not including, the Redemption Date. 

If the Notes are redeemed on or after the date that is six months prior to the Stated Maturity, the Redemption Price for the Notes to be
redeemed will equal 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date. 

“Treasury Yield” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (1) the yield, under the heading which represents the
average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no
maturity is within three months before or after the date that is six months prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the
Treasury Yield will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the


  
 2 













 
week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent
yield-to-maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal
to the Comparable Treasury Price of such Redemption Date. The Treasury Yield will be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date. 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having
a maturity most comparable to the date that is six months prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes, that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt
securities of a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes. 
 “Independent Investment Banker” means one of the
Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means (A) the average of five
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (B) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations, the average of all such quotations. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of (i) BofA Securities,
Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC; and (ii) two other primary U.S. Government securities dealers in New York, New York (“Primary Treasury Dealers”) appointed by the Company and their respective
successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing ceases to be a Primary Treasury Dealer or otherwise fails to provide a Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation, the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means a quotation for a Comparable Treasury Issue provided by a Reference Treasury
Dealer.

The Notes are not subject to any sinking fund. 

7.     Notice of Redemption  

Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each

Redemption Price of and accrued interest on all Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date by 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such Redemption Date
interest ceases to accrue on such Notes (or such portions thereof) called for redemption.

15 Business Days prior to the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed.
