$593,629 in itemized individual contributions is the 2014-cycle join for the employer/occupation grouping Norfolk Southern Corporation. FEC.gov aggregates count 2,294 contributions from 97 donors. The same string totals $5,647,909 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 10.5% of the lifetime bucket — a self-reported label meeting a two-year window, not the railroad’s PAC and not a Class I operating-revenue total.
Key figures
- Norfolk Southern Corporation × 2014 is $593,629 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 2,294 contributions from 97 donors.
- 2014 is about 10.5% of the grouping’s $5,647,909 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text, not the railroad’s PAC and not a Class I operating-revenue total.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Norfolk Southern Corporation as stored text, 2014 as cycle
Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Norfolk Southern Corporation and 2014 — sum to $593,629. 2,294 itemized contributions and 97 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables. 2014 is a midterm even-year window; that fact describes the FEC calendar, not which contests received the money.
Neither the Norfolk Southern Corporation hub nor the 2014 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Norfolk Southern Corporation is stored form text, not a verified employer file. 97 donors and 2,294 lines in 2014 matched that word. People who abbreviated the railroad or typed only SOUTHERN sit in other buckets. NORFOLK SOUTHERN, NS, and NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORP are other keys. This page is the exact grouped string Norfolk Southern Corporation as stored.
10.5% of the Norfolk Southern Corporation roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $5,647,909. The 2014 slice of $593,629 is about 10.5% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 89.5%. Treating 2014 as the Norfolk Southern Corporation FEC story would ignore that remainder. The share is a scale check, not a peak-year ranking and not proof of a coordinated program.
Treat $5,647,909 as the denominator for the 10.5% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, not assets under management, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2014 from being folded silently into $5,647,909. Federal awards in other databases remain a different dataset; sharing a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants.

Questions
- How much did Norfolk Southern Corporation donors give in 2014?
- FEC.gov aggregates show $593,629 in itemized individual contributions for the Norfolk Southern Corporation grouping in the 2014 cycle, across 2,294 contributions and 97 donors. That sum is not a PAC total, not an independent-expenditure total, and not the $5,647,909 all-cycle figure on the industry hub. Unitemized gifts sit outside this cell.
- What share of Norfolk Southern Corporation FEC money is 2014?
- The grouping’s all-cycle total is $5,647,909. The 2014 cell of $593,629 is about 10.5% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 89.5% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Norfolk Southern Corporation hub holds other cycles; the 2014 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
- Does this include only current Norfolk Southern Corporation employees or licensees?
- No. The bucket is the self-reported string Norfolk Southern Corporation. The FEC does not verify licenses or current jobs. Neighboring spellings and titles sit in other groupings unless they were stored as this exact key. This join reports the string match for 2014 only, totaling $593,629 from 97 donors on 2,294 contribution lines.
- Where is the overlay for the Norfolk Southern Corporation 2014 join?
- Open Norfolk Southern Corporation 2014 for the cycle overlay, Norfolk Southern Corporation for the grouping hub, and the 2014 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows.
