The original Norfolk Southern Railway existed between 1942 and 1982. Wikipedia says, "It was purchased by the Southern Railway in 1974 [keeping its name until the Southern] merged with the Norfolk and Western Railway in 1982 to form the Norfolk Southern Railway. At the end of 1970, it operated 624 miles of road on 801 miles of track; that year it reported 710 million ton-miles of revenue freight."
