NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORPORATION

Two keys: NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORPORATION and 2012

Drop either key and the number changes. Drop 2012 and the Norfolk Southern Corporation hub shows $5,647,909. Drop Norfolk Southern Corporation and the 2012 hub shows every other stored employer for that window — a total this packet does not publish. Keep both keys and the extract returns $523,484 on 1,735 lines from 82 donors. Cite FEC.gov for the intersection; do not treat either hub as a substitute for the join.

1,735 contributions from 82 donors is a high line-count relative to identities. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count faster than the donor count. Exact string matching is the method. NORFOLK SOUTHERN, NS, NORFOLK SOUTHERN RY, and NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORP are not rolled into $523,484. LobbyVault does not recode filer text into NAICS. Cite FEC.gov.

Section 1 states the relationship. Later sections unpack the lifetime grouping, the receipt arithmetic, the two-year window, and the caveats. The overlay Norfolk Southern Corporation 2012 is the row view of this cell.
