demand / volume

Metals and construction volume decreased in both periods primarily driven by lower aggregate shipments as a result of idled customer facilities, partially offset by increased cement and coil shipments due to increased demand.

NSC 10-Q

input costs

The increase in 2025 was partly due to higher locomotive and freight car material consumption coupled with increased spend for other materials.

NSC 10-K

demand / volume affecting expense

Equipment rents , which includes our cost of using equipment (mostly freight cars) owned by other railroads or private owners less the rent paid to us for the use of our equipment, increased due to higher automotive equipment expenses driven by higher volumes as well as lower earnings from our investment in TTX.
