                   RICHMOND, VA AND PHILADELPHIA, PA (JANUARY 13, 1996)
         -- CSX Corporation [NYSE:CSX] and Conrail Inc. [NYSE:CRR] is-
         sued the following statement:

                   "Today's announcement by Norfolk Southern changes
         nothing.  The fact is the CSX-Conrail merger is the only trans-
         action where Conrail shareholders can receive value for 100% of
         their shares.  No transaction with Norfolk Southern can occur
         until January 1999, at the earliest.

                   "Norfolk Southern has misrepresented the implications
         of the Surface Transportation Board's (STB) decision which re-
         fused to invalidate the two-year exclusivity provision.  CSX
         and Conrail believe that the STB cannot require the consumma-
         tion of a merger that has not been approved by the Conrail
         Board of Directors."

                   CSX, headquartered in Richmond, VA, is an interna-
         tional transportation company offering a variety of rail,
         container-shipping, intermodal, trucking, barge and contract
         logistics management services.  CSX's home page on the Internet
         can be reached at http://www.CONRAIL.com.

                   Conrail, with corporate headquarters in Philadelphia,
         PA, operates an 11,000-mile rail freight network in 12 north-
         eastern and midwestern states, the District of Columbia, and
         the Province of Quebec.  Conrail's home page on the Internet
