The Company

CSX Corporation (CSX), headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, is one of the major Class I railroad operators in the United States. Their geographic focus is on the Eastern portion of the United States.

As one of the continent's leading railroad companies, CSX plays a critical role in the logistics and supply chain networks, efficiently moving various goods across the United States and parts of Canada. The operations of CSX are integral to the functioning of the economy, facilitating the continuous flow of essential products to businesses and consumers alike.

These trains are often composed of hundreds of cars and navigate through various terrains, including tunnels and bridges.

CSX Transportation is Class I rail company, comparable to Norfolk Southern, which I previously reviewed. As one of the leading rail giants in North America, alongside Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific, and Canadian National, CSX plays a vital role in the rail industry, which has undergone significant changes since the 1980 Staggers Rail Act. This legislation deregulated the industry, resulting in improved freight rates and the consolidation of major players.
