NORFOLK, Va., May 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Jeffrey S.
Heller and Cary G. Booth have
assumed additional responsibilities in Norfolk Southern's
intermodal department, announced Alan H.
Shaw, executive vice president and chief marketing
officer.
Heller, currently vice president intermodal and automotive

responsibility for intermodal operations and systems.
Booth, currently assistant vice president intermodal service

terminals, equipment, and service.
In their expanded roles, Heller and Booth are handling the
