'''CSX Transportation''' ('''CSXT''') is a Class I freight railroad operating 21,000 route miles across eastern North America, and the principal subsidiary of the '''CSX Corporation''', founded in [[1980]] by the merger of the Cleveland, Ohio-based Chessie System with Seaboard Coast Line Industries of Jacksonville, Florida, which operated the [[Seaboard Coast Line Railroad|Seaboard Coast Line]] and [[Louisville & Nashville Railroad]]s.
'''CSX Transportation''' ('''CSXT''') is a Class I freight railroad operating 21,000 route miles across eastern North America, and the principal subsidiary of the '''CSX Corporation''', founded in [[1980]] by the merger of the Cleveland, Ohio-based Chessie System with Seaboard Coast Line Industries of Jacksonville, Florida, which operated the [[Seaboard Coast Line Railroad|Seaboard Coast Line]] and [[Louisville & Nashville Railroad]]s.


The company's lines continued to operate under separate names until [[1986]]–[[1987]]. CSX and Norfolk Southern Railway jointly acquired the Conrail system in [[1998]], dividing the assets between them. CSX took over operation of much of the former New York Central Railroad, extending into Canada.

CSX and Norfolk Southern Railway jointly acquired the Conrail system in [[1998]], dividing the assets between them. CSX took over operation of much of the former New York Central Railroad, extending into Canada. Beginning in [[2017]] under the leadership of then-CEO E. Hunter Harrison the carrier has transitioned toward "precision railroading," reducing its workforce and rolling stock. For liability reasons, CSX Transportation bars steam-powered and other antique locomotives from operating on its trackage.

===Subdivisions===
In 2014, [[Canadian Pacific Railway]] approached CSX with an offer to merge the two companies, but CSX declined, and in 2015 Canadian Pacific made an attempt to purchase and merge with [[Norfolk Southern Railway|Norfolk Southern]],<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/canadian-pacific-approached-csx-about-merger-deal-1413141950?KEYWORDS=CSX | work=The Wall Street Journal | first1=Dana | last1=Mattioli | first2=Liz | last2=Hoffman | first3=David | last3=George-Cosh | title=Canadian Pacific Approached CSX About Merger Deal | date=October 13, 2014}}</ref> but NS declined to do so as well.

In 2017, CSX announced [[E. Hunter Harrison|Hunter Harrison]] would become its new chief executive officer; a settlement with activist investor [[Paul Hilal]] and Mantle Ridge.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.thestreet.com/story/14029095/1/csx-mantle-ridge-reach-blockbuster-deal.html | work=TheStreet.com| first=Ronald | last=Orol | title=CSX, Mantle Ridge Reach Blockbuster Deal| date=March 6, 2017}}</ref> CSX added five new directors to their board, including Harrison and Mantle Ridge founder Paul Hilal.

Two days after the announcement, Harrison died, one day after being hospitalized for complications of an ongoing illness. CSX initially saw a 10% drop in its stock price, but turned around to hit a new 52-week high less than a month later (January 2018).<ref name="Reuters Business">{{cite web|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-csx-stocks/csx-falls-on-ceo-death-investors-seek-turnaround-clarity-idUSKBN1EC1H7|title=CSX Investors Seek Clarity After CEO Death, Stock Stabilizes|publisher=Reuters|date= 18 December 2017|access-date=October 15, 2018}}</ref>  Harrison's successors have continued the shift to precision railroading, with most [[Classification yard|hump yards]] converted to flat yards, low volume shipping lanes eliminated and reductions in rolling stock and work force.
===Switching yards===

===Pan Am Railways acquisition===
On November 30th, 2020, CSX Transportation announced on social media that they had come to an agreement with Pan Am Systems to purchase [[New England]] based Class II [[Pan Am Railways]], pending regulatory approval from the [[Surface Transportation Board]]. As of February 4, 2021, no application has been filed with the STB.
 
==Unit trains==
[[File:Silver Snake (4252221127).jpg|thumb|right|A long CSX coal train of empty hoppers crosses the [[New River (Kanawha River tributary)|New River]] as seen from [[Hawks Nest State Park]]]]
 
CSX operated the [[Juice Train]] which consisted of [[Tropicana Products|Tropicana]] cars that carry fresh [[orange juice]] between [[Bradenton, Florida]], and the [[Greenville, Jersey City|Greenville]] section of [[Jersey City, New Jersey]]. The train also runs from Bradenton to [[Fort Pierce, Florida]], via the [[Florida East Coast Railway]]. In the 21st century, the Juice Train has been studied as a model of efficient rail transportation that can compete with trucks and other modes in the perishable-goods trade.<ref name="Virginia Railway Express">{{cite web|url=https://www.vre.org/about/blog/the-juice-train/tag/horn/|title=The Juice Train|publisher=Virginia Railway Express |access-date=October 15, 2018}}</ref>  All Tropicana trains are now added to other trains such as Q442 and Q032.
 
[[Coke Express]] trains run between [[Pittsburgh]] and [[Chicago]], and other places in the [[Rust Belt]], carrying [[Coke (fuel)|coke]] to industries, mainly [[steel mill]]s.
 
CSX also runs daily trash trains Q702 and Q703 from [[Oak Point Yard|The Bronx]] to [[Philadelphia]] (via [[Selkirk Yard]]) and then [[Petersburg, Virginia]], where they interchange with NS. These trains consist of {{convert|89|ft|adj=on}} flatcars loaded with four containers of trash. Another pair of trains, Q634 and Q635, operate between [[Selkirk, New York]], and [[Columbus, Ohio]].
 
Another style of unit train is a local trash train, D765, that runs between the Maryland towns of [[Derwood, Maryland|Derwood]] and [[Dickerson, Maryland|Dickerson]]. The train runs daily except on Sundays; on holidays it sometimes runs twice a day. Trash is carried from [[Montgomery County, Maryland|Montgomery County]]'s Shady Grove Transfer Station to a [[waste-to-energy]] plant located off the [[Pepco|PEPCO]] lead to [[GenOn Energy Holdings|Mirant]]'s [[Dickerson Generating Station]]. The trip is roughly {{convert|17|mi}}, and the train is made up of National Steel Car Company-built well cars, hauling {{convert|40|ft|adj=on}} containers. The first NEMX equipment was built when the D765 first started operations in 1995. In recent years, the fleet has been somewhat upgraded, repainted, and new cars have been constructed. In the early days, the locomotives powering the train were a GP40-2/RDMT slug set, but currently the train can be upwards of 47&nbsp;cars. The locomotives that now routinely power the train are a pair of GE [[GE AC4400CW|AC4400CWs]], though [[GE Evolution Series|GEVOs]] may also be used.
 
Up until May 2019, working with [[Union Pacific Railroad|Union Pacific]], CSX ran an extended haul perishables train, Q090. Known by railfans as the "Salad Shooter", the train ran from [[Wallula, Washington]], to [[Schenectady, New York]].  On the return trip, the train was labeled Q091. CSX modified its Train Handling rule book to allow this train to use more power axles. In May 2019, the train was abolished.<ref>{{cite book| title = Air Brake and Train Handling Rules | publisher = CSX Transportation| date = October 2007| pages = Section 4, Page 1 }}</ref>

===Paint and aesthetics===
[[File:Clean_and_Almost_Brand_New_(2246953505).jpg|thumb|right|A new CSX [[GE Evolution Series|ES44AC]] in the YN3 paint scheme.]]
 
The first official paint scheme under the CSX name was a simple gray paint scheme with blue "CSX Transportation" lettering. Only 11 units were ever painted into this scheme.
 
The "Blue Down" paint scheme was introduced about a year after the aforementioned paint scheme in 1987. It is composed with an all-gray body, with a blue underframe and top of the long hood. Blue masked the top of the cab around the windshield.
 
In October 1988, the "Stealth" scheme was created. It is very similar to Blue Down, but the blue on the top portion of the locomotives was removed.
 
In 1990, the "YN2", or "Bright Future" paint scheme was introduced. The design features a yellow nose, a blue cab, and a gray hood with a blue strip along the bottom extending from the back of the cab. The yellow and blue sections have a 60 degree section slanting down toward the back of the locomotive.
 
In 2002, CSXT No. 8503, an [[EMD SD50]] (that has since been downgraded to an SD50-2), was painted in the new yellow and blue YN3 scheme. More than 1,000 CSX locomotives have since been painted in the YN3 scheme.<ref name="trainweb">{{cite web| url=http://www.trainweb.org/csxphotos/photos/SD50/8503CSX-yn3.jpg| title=Image: 8503CSX-yn3.jpg, (640 × 480 px)| publisher=trainweb.org| access-date=2015-09-01}}</ref>{{Better source|date=January 2021}}
 
CSX recently{{When|date=December 2020}} created a new paint scheme, known as YN3b, which updates YN3 with the most recent CSX logo. The first unit to wear this scheme was ES44AH 950. Currently, CSX's ES44AHs 950-999 and 3000–3249 and the ET44AHs 3250-3474 wear the scheme, along with recently repainted older locomotives, the first of which was SD70AC CSXT 4719, which was repainted at the Huntington Locomotive Shops in September 2012. YN3b is also commonly found on the [[SD40-2#SD40-3|SD40-3]] rebuilds.
 
All of the former-Conrail locomotives in active service have been repainted in a CSX livery.
 
In the mid-1990s, CSXT began placing a lightning bolt decal below the road number on locomotives with [[traction motor|AC traction]] and still continues this practice with the new GE ES44AH and ET44AH locomotives.
 
CSX also has several locomotives with "spirit" stickers with a name of an important person or location in the CSX system.
 
In 2016, CSX placed the logos of several predecessor railroads on some locomotives, in order to maintain legal control of the logos.
 
On April 30, 2019, CSX unveiled locomotives 911 and 1776, two locomotives created to honor the first responders and veterans.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Anderson|first=Chris|title=CSX releases veterans, first responders commemorative units|url=https://trn.trains.com/news/news-wire/2019/05/16-big-boy-stubs-its-toe-with-derailment|work=Trains|date=April 30, 2019|access-date=May 31, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190507042457/http://trn.trains.com/news/news-wire/2019/04/30-csx-releases-veterans-first-responders-commemorative-units|archive-date=May 7, 2019}}</ref> Another special unit, CSX 3194, was unveiled on August 22, 2019, in honor of the law enforcement.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://trn.trains.com/news/news-wire/2019/08/22-csx-unveils-spirit-of-our-law-enforcement-commemorative-locomotive-no-3194|title=CSX unveils 'Spirit of our Law Enforcement' commemorative locomotive No. 3194 &#124; Trains Magazine}}</ref>
 
===Locomotives===
 
CSX has been significant in rebuilding locomotives. CSX has 3 rebuilds of its 4 axle and 6 axle EMD Locomotives. The EMD GP38-2, GP40-2, and SD40-2 have all been rebuilt to then Dash 3 standards with updated Wabtec Electronically Controlled Air Brakes, Electronic bells (E-Bell), electronic handbrakes with a mechanical backup, an airstarter on the motor with an electric start backup, a new designed crash safe cab, a new electronic control stand, YN3B paint job, and Positive Train Control (PTC) computers. They became EMD GP38-3s, GP40-3s, SD40-3s, and SD50-3s respectively. Most are also Positive Stop Protection (PSP) equipped Remote Controlled Locomotives (RCL) and have amber strobe lights on each side of the cab, a Cattron Locomotive Control Unit computer, an Air Brake Transfer Valve (that transfers brake control from manual to computer control), a speed transponder scanner on each end, and a GPS Receiver on the cab roof to pinpoint the engines location. The Dash 3 RCL can also have its handbrake applied by a Remote Control Operator (RCO) by holding the left and right Vigilance switches on the Operator Control Unit (OCU) remote box. CSX has rebuilt [[EMD GP35]] and [[EMD GP30|GP30]] units as road slugs. CSX has also downgraded SD50 and GP40-2 units in order to decrease the wear and tear on the engines the EMD GP40-2s that were downgraded from 3,000 horsepower to 2,000 horsepower during this process are known as GP38-2S locomotives and CSXT 6044 is one of those that was derated. Among its [[Electro-Motive Diesel|EMD]] rebuilds, CSX has done rebuilding on many [[GE]] locomotives as well. CSX has re-powered most of its [[GE AC6000CW|GE CW60AC]] and CW60AH locomotives with a GEVO-16 engine rated at {{convert|4600|hp|kW|0|abbr=on|lk=on}}, essentially making them an over-engined [[GE Evolution Series|ES44AH]] called a CW46AH by CSX. Former Conrail [[GE Dash 8-40B|GE B40-8]] units have also been downgraded to {{convert|2000|hp|kW|0|abbr=on|lk=on}} in an attempt to decrease wheel slip and low speeds. They were redesignated as B20-8s and CSX has since sold or stored most of these units including the 6 axle GE C40-8s. Another group of projects are the "heavy" units. CSX has modified some [[GE AC4400CW|GE CW44AC and CW44AH]] units to heavy units by adding extra counterweights to the frame and in the nose of the unit shell and new computers to increase tractive effort at low speeds. They are 432,000 pounds.
 
In 2015, CSX traded its 12 [[EMD SD80MAC]]s for 12 [[EMD SD40-2|SD40-2s]] from [[Norfolk Southern Railway|Norfolk Southern]]. They have all since been rebuilt as [[SD40-2#SD40-3|SD40-3]]s.{{Citation needed|date=January 2021}}
 
CSX has also obtained a few [[EMD F40PH]]-2s - nos. 9992, 9993, 9998, and 9999 (All locomotives except 9999 have been renumbered to CSX 1, 2, and 3 and were repainted into a heritage Baltimore and Ohio Railroad scheme) - that were retired from [[Amtrak]] for executive office car service and [[Track geometry car|geometry trains]]. Another locomotive, ex-MARC GP40WH-2 no. 9969 was acquired for the same purpose.
 
With the arrival of [[E. Hunter Harrison|Hunter Harrison]], CSX has begun to store many locomotives. By the end of 2017, CSX plans to store or retire all of the GE CW40-8, CW40-9, CW60AC, CW60AH, CW46AH, EMD SD50, SD50-2, SD50-3, SD60, SD60M, SD60I, SD70M, SD70AC, and SD70AE (SD70ACe) units. Most of the GE C40-8, B40-8, and B20-8 units stored in Corbin, Kentucky, have already been retired and sold off. Even with the passing of Harrison, his replacement, James Foote, confirmed the locomotives would still be retired.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Stephens|first=Bill|title='There is no turning back'|url=http://trn.trains.com/news/news-wire/2018/01/17-csx-foote-observations-and-look-ahead|work=Trains|date=January 17, 2018|access-date=January 20, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180120050919/http://trn.trains.com/news/news-wire/2018/01/17-csx-foote-observations-and-look-ahead|archive-date=January 20, 2018}}</ref>
 
CSX ordered ten SD70ACe-T4s in August 2018, which were delivered in July the following year. They are classified as ST70AHs. CSX also has a contract with Wabtec for modernizing their fleet of CW44s. The modernized locomotives, nearly thirty in number as of June 2020, are being classified as [[CM44AC]].
 
==Safety==
[[File:Silver_Spring_collision_amtrak_locomotive.png|thumb|right|220px|Wrecked [[Amtrak]] 255 in the [[1996 Maryland train collision]].]]
Because of Ross Rowland running [[Chesapeake and Ohio 614]] above the speed limits, in 1995, CSX started a new [[liability insurance]] requirement of $200 million to introduce their official policy, "no steam on its own wheels", banning the operation of [[steam locomotive]]s and other antique rail equipment on their trackage due to safety concerns, and increased risk.<ref name="Wrinn">{{Cite book|last=Wrinn|first=Jim|year=2000|title=Steam's Camelot: Southern and Norfolk Southern Excursions in Color|edition=1st|page=102|publisher=TLC Publishing|isbn=1-883089-56-5}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Spradlin|first=Kevin|date=June 24, 2010|title=CSX disputes claims it pulled support for Petersburg festival in '11th hour'|url=https://www.times-news.com/news/local_news/csx-disputes-claims-it-pulled-support-for-petersburg-festival-in/article_4e654e87-c220-5502-add5-4fab42e2ff4d.html|work=[[Cumberland Times-News]]|access-date=May 19, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190403103809/https://www.times-news.com/news/local_news/csx-disputes-claims-it-pulled-support-for-petersburg-festival-in/article_4e654e87-c220-5502-add5-4fab42e2ff4d.html|archive-date=April 3, 2019}}</ref>

Revision as of 13:24, 30 November 2021

CSX Transportation (CSXT) is a Class I freight railroad operating 21,000 route miles across eastern North America, and the principal subsidiary of the CSX Corporation, founded in 1980 by the merger of the Cleveland, Ohio-based Chessie System with Seaboard Coast Line Industries of Jacksonville, Florida, which operated the Seaboard Coast Line and Louisville & Nashville Railroads.

The company's lines continued to operate under separate names until 1986–1987. CSX and Norfolk Southern Railway jointly acquired the Conrail system in 1998, dividing the assets between them. CSX took over operation of much of the former New York Central Railroad, extending into Canada. Beginning in 2017 under the leadership of then-CEO E. Hunter Harrison the carrier has transitioned toward "precision railroading," reducing its workforce and rolling stock. For liability reasons, CSX Transportation bars steam-powered and other antique locomotives from operating on its trackage.
