Over the last ten years, Norfolk Southern bought back $13.7 BILLION of its own stock, propping up its stock price and further enriching its executives.  They should have instead used those funds to perform additional preventive maintenance on their tracks and rail bridges.  The National Transportation Safety Board reports that the railroad is also using old, worn rails and wheels and either not inspecting properly or disregarding the results of inspections.  Norfolk Southern now tells us their aging bridges are unsafe and we taxpayers are being required to fund their replacement.  Watch this short video to learn more.
