Two filters produce $253,834: the grouping Norfolk Southern Corporation and the 2008 election cycle. FEC.gov individual-contribution tables supply 803 contributions and 70 donors. $5,647,909 is the all-cycle denominator for the same stored string, so 2008 is about 4.5% of that bucket. Not a norfolk southern pac, not a class i railroad industry total, and not a usaspending freight-contract figure.
Key figures
- Norfolk Southern Corporation × 2008 is $253,834 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 803 contributions from 70 donors.
- 2008 is about 4.5% of the grouping’s $5,647,909 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text (railroad employer text), not a PAC.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
How the Norfolk Southern Corporation 2008 intersection is built
Public records on FEC.gov group itemized individual receipts by employer or occupation text and by election cycle. This file is the Norfolk Southern Corporation row of the 2008 column: $253,834, 803 contributions, 70 donors. The packet does not list candidate names, party splits, or committee IDs.
Railroad employer text is the dimension on one side; the two-year 2008 tag is the other. Not a norfolk southern pac, not a class i railroad industry total, and not a usaspending freight-contract figure. NORFOLK SOUTHERN, NS CORP, and NORFOLK SOUTHERN RAILWAY are other keys. Those neighboring strings have their own overlays if they exist.
Do not cite $5,647,909 as a 2008 total. Do not cite $253,834 as the lifetime Norfolk Southern Corporation total. Each number answers a different filter. 2008 is a presidential even-year window on FEC.gov; that calendar label does not explain the dollar cell.
The lifetime Norfolk Southern Corporation denominator
4.5% is $253,834 divided by $5,647,909. That arithmetic uses only packet facts. The leftover 95.5% equals $5,394,075 and lives on other cycle pages for Norfolk Southern Corporation. A mid-single-digit share (or any other share this packet happens to show) is not a peak-year claim.
$5,647,909 is a sum of itemized individual receipts grouped to NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORPORATION across cycles in this table. It is not assets, payroll, or a federal award total. Sharing a calendar year with USAspending records does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. Keep the 4.5% attached to Norfolk Southern Corporation and 2008 together.
