Company Overview

CSX Corporation (NASDAQ: CSX) is a leading freight transportation company that provides rail-based freight and intermodal transportation services across North America. Through its extensive rail network, CSX moves a diverse array of products, including consumer goods, industrial supplies, agricultural commodities, energy products and automotive parts. The company’s services extend beyond rail transportation to encompass third-party logistics, distribution center management and transloading solutions, enabling customers to optimize supply-chain efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

CSX operates one of the largest rail networks in the United States, covering approximately 20,000 miles of track across 23 states, Washington, D.C., and the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Its intermodal terminals in major ports and inland hubs support the seamless transfer of shipping containers and trailers between truck and rail, reducing highway congestion and carbon emissions. CSX’s precision scheduled railroading model focuses on running trains more frequently and reliably, improving asset utilization and service consistency for shippers.

The company traces its roots to the 19th century, arising from the consolidation of historic carriers such as the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and the Seaboard Air Line Railroad. The modern CSX Corporation was formed in 1986 following the merger of Chessie System and Seaboard Coast Line Industries. Over its history, CSX has continually invested in infrastructure upgrades, signal modernization and digital technologies to enhance safety, operational efficiency and network capacity.

CSX serves a wide range of industries, including agriculture, automotive, chemicals, forest products, food and beverage, metals and minerals, and energy. Its network provides critical links to major ports on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, as well as connections to railroads serving the western United States and Mexico. The company is led by President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Foote, who oversees a senior leadership team focused on sustainable growth, customer satisfaction and shareholder value through disciplined capital allocation and operational excellence.
