Thank you and good morning. Before we begin today's call, I would like to mention a few items. First, I would like to welcome you to our third quarter earnings conference call. We remind our listeners and internet participants that the slides of the presenters are available for your convenience on our website at nscorp.com in the Investor section. Additionally, mp3 downloads of today's meeting will be available on our website for your convenience.
As usual, transcripts of the meeting also will be posted on our website and will be available upon request from our Corporate Communications Department. At the end of the prepared portion of today's call, we will conduct a question-and-answer session. At that time, if you choose to ask a question, an operator will instruct you how to do so from your telephone keypad.
Please be advised that any forward-looking statements made during the course of this presentation represent our best good faith judgment as to what may occur in the future.
Statements that are forward-looking can be identified by the use of the word such as believe, expect, anticipate and project. Our actual results may differ materially from those projected, and will be subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, some of which may be outside of our control. Please refer to our annual and quarterly reports filed with the SEC for discussions of those risk and uncertainties that we view as most important. Now, it is my pleasure to introduce Norfolk Southern Chairman, President and CEO, Wick Moorman.
