CSX

CSX Corporation is an American holding company that controls CSX Transportation (CSXT), a major freight railroad. The company operates a rail network in the eastern United States and parts of Canada and is headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. CSX trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker CSX and is a member of the Fortune 500.

CSX was formed in 1980 through the merger of the Chessie System and Seaboard Coast Line Industries. The name CSX was adopted at that time. The company later expanded by acquiring the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O) and the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (C&O). In 1999, CSX acquired the eastern assets of Conrail, significantly enlarging its network and market presence.

CSXT operates approximately 20,000 miles of track, serving customers across a range of industries. Its freight operations include intermodal shipments (container and trailer on flatcar), coal, automotive, chemicals, metals, and agricultural commodities. The network emphasizes connectivity between major corridors and regional markets, with a focus on safety, efficiency, and service reliability. CSX also participates in terminal operations and intermodal hubs that facilitate cargo transfer between truck, rail, and shipper networks.

As a modern rail transport company, CSX pursues ongoing investments in locomotive technology, network optimization, and sustainability initiatives aimed at reducing energy use and emissions while maintaining freight capacity and reliability.
