transportation plan modifications, and management of customer traffic on the system to meet demand
(including statements set forth in Item 2 regarding expectations related to our capital expenditures);
expectations as to cost savings, revenue growth, and earnings; the time by which goals, targets, or objectives
will be achieved; projections, predictions, expectations, estimates, or forecasts as to our business, financial and
operational results, future economic performance, and general economic conditions; proposed new products
and services; estimates of costs relating to environmental remediation and restoration; expectations that
claims, litigation, environmental costs, commitments, contingent liabilities, labor negotiations or agreements,
or other matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial
condition, or liquidity and any other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts.
Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not
necessarily be accurate indications of the times that, or by which, such performance or results will be achieved.
Forward-looking information is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or
results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements.
Forward-looking statements and information reflect the good faith consideration by management of currently
available information, and may be based on underlying assumptions believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances. However, such information and assumptions (and, therefore, such forward-looking statements
and information) are or may be subject to variables or unknown or unforeseeable events or circumstances
over which management has little or no influence or control. The Risk Factors in Item 1A of this report could
affect our future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those
expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statement was made. We assume no obligation to
update forward-looking information to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other
factors affecting forward-looking information. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no
inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect thereto or with respect to other
forward-looking statements.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Information concerning market risk sensitive instruments is set forth under Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Other Matters, Item 7.
