Yesterday, Norfolk Southern Corp. shareholders approved the appointment of KPMG L.L.P. as company auditors and re-elected four board members at the Class I's annual stockholders meeting in St. Louis.

The members are: Alston Correll, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Georgia-Pacific Corp.; Landon Hilliard, a partner in banking firm Brown Brothers Harriman & Co.; Burton Joyce, chairman of IPSCO; and Jane Margaret O'Brien, president of St. Mary's College of Maryland.

when markets are creating growth opportunities for us," he said.
