                   This Amendment No. 3 to the Transaction Statement on
         Schedule 14D-1, and Amendment No. 7 to the Schedule 13D of CSX
         Corporation, a Virginia corporation ("CSX"), and CSX Transpor-
         tation, Inc., a Virginia corporation and wholly owned subsid-
         iary of CSX ("CSXT"), Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D of
         Norfolk Southern Corporation, a Virginia corporation ("NSC")
         and Amendment No. 6 to the Schedule 13D of Walter G. Rich,
         (collectively, as amended, the "Statement") relates to the of-
         fer by DOCP Acquisition LLC, a New York limited liability com-
         pany ("Purchaser") formed by CSX, NSC and Mr. Rich to purchase
         all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.125 per
         share (the "Shares"), of Delaware Otsego Corporation, a New
         York corporation (the "Company"), at a price of $22.00 per
         Share, net to the seller in cash, upon the terms and subject to
         the conditions set forth in Purchaser's Offer to Purchase dated
         August 22, 1997 (the "Offer to Purchase") and in the related
         Letter of Transmittal.  This Amendment amends and supplements
         the amended Transaction Statement on Schedule 14D-1 and all
         such Schedules 13D filed prior hereto.  Unless otherwise indi-
         cated all capitalized terms used herein shall have the same
         meanings as set forth in the Offer to Purchase.  

         ITEM 10.  Additional Information.

                   "THE TENDER OFFER -- Terms of the Offer; Expiration
         Date" is hereby amended by the addition of the following:  

                   Convertible Notes. Pursuant to the terms of the
              Convertible Notes, the holders of Convertible Notes,
              on the terms set forth therein, have the right to
              convert, prior to payment, any or all of the unpaid
              principal amount of such Convertible Notes into
              Shares; provided that such conversion may only be in
              multiples of 100 Shares, unless the balance of the
              unpaid principal amount of any such Convertible Notes
              is convertible into less than 100 Shares, in which
              case such conversion will be into the entire amount
              of such Shares; and provided further that no frac-
              tions of Shares are issuable upon conversion.  The
              Company has advised Purchaser that as of August 22,
              1997, the adjusted conversion price of the Convert-
              ible Notes was $10.08 per Share.     

                   Convertible Notes will not be automatically con-
              verted into Shares or cash as a result of the consum-
              mation of the Offer or the Merger, and will remain
              unchanged by virtue of such transactions except that,
              pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes, fol-
              lowing the Merger, holders of Convertible Notes will
              cease to have the right to convert the principal


                                       -1-<PAGE>







              amount of such Convertible Notes into Shares and will
              instead have the right to receive, upon conversion of
              the principal amount of such Convertible Notes, an
              amount in cash equal to the amount which such holders
              would have had a right to receive pursuant to the
              Merger, had the principal amount of such Convertible
              Notes been converted into Shares immediately prior to
              the Effective Time.  

                   To participate in the Offer or the Merger, if
              consummated, holders of Convertible Notes must 
              surrender such Convertible Notes to the Company for
              conversion.  Upon conversion, each Share issued on
              the conversion of the principal amount of such Con-
              vertible Notes may be tendered into the Offer in ac-
              cordance with the procedures set forth therein for
              the Offer Price, or, failing such tender, will be
              converted in the Merger, if consummated, into the
              right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Offer
              Price, as described under "INTRODUCTION" and "SPECIAL
              FACTORS -- The Merger Agreement and Related Agree-
              ments" in the Offer to Purchase.
