After adding it I found it had been previously removed and I was unwittingly reversing that, why was it removed in the first place, leaving only an anti-company website? - Wikiacc 23:41, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Why isn't Massachusetts listed in the Locale section? Siliconwafer
The Divisions are getting a bit large, can we break them down further so that each division is its own section. It will make editing a little easier, and also show areas that we need to work on as well. Rob110178 07:56, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
From 1986 to 1991 CSX Transportation was a holding company for CSX Rail Transport, CSX Distribution Services and CSX Equipment - see Trains November 1991 --SPUI (talk) 21:52, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
Arnold I. Havens (Arnie) [2/21/06-Currently the General Counsel of the U.S. Department of the Treasury] used to “serve as Senior Vice President of Government Affairs for CSX Corporation (CSX) where, from 1995 until 2003, he was responsible for providing advice and counsel on transportation-related issues and representing the company’s interest before public officials. In that role, he managed federal and state affairs for CSX and its transportation and non-transportation interests including CSX Transportation and its 23-state freight rail network. On October 29, 2003, Mr. Havens was nominated to be General Counsel of the Department of the Treasury by President Bush, confirmed by the Senate on December 9, 2003, and sworn in by Secretary John Snow on December 18, 2003. In addition, Mr. Havens had the privilege of serving as Special Assistant to the President for Legislative Affairs. Between 1991 and 1993, he represented President George H.W. Bush before the Congress on issues of concern to the President and his Administration with a focus on regulatory reform and transportation. As General Counsel of the Department, Mr. Havens serves as the chief legal advisor and a senior policy adviser to the Secretary of the Treasury.” [taken from U.S. Office of General Counsel of the Treasury: http://www.treas.gov/offices/general-counsel/general-counsel.shtml [Mr. Havens is the attorney who advised and approved of outsourcing 6 United States shipping ports to a foreign owned Dubai company]
Why are CSX Corp. and CSX Transportation different articles?
There are too many executives of any railroad to keep lists of all the positions through time. Trains WikiProject standards are to include succession lists of only the Presidents/CEOs of a railroad. Slambo (Speak) 16:05, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Why is List of CSX Transportation predecessor railroads a separate page? It seems reasonable include that information here. It's interesting, is fairly short, and fits with the guidance from Wikiproject Trains.
As to whether CSX Transportion and CSX Corporation should have separate pages, I could argue that they should. One is a railroad and one is the holding company the owns the railroad. Just keep the right content on the right page, and it's all good.
And why is this page associated with Wikiproject Georgia? Seems like a stretch to me. XKL 20:31, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
The sentence "It also happens to be the BEST railroad to work for EVER!!!!" In the last part of the introduction needs to be cited or removed as it is more opinionated than than is appropriate for encyclopedic purposes. Being new to the Wikipedia community I felt I should leave the comment in pending further review from more experienced users. TribalMoo 03:22, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
I live in an area of upstate NY where we've had quite a few CSX crashes, many deadly, some were only not deadly by sheer luck. I want to know if this article is truly "neutral" with no mention of any of CSX's recent failures in the area of safety. Rachaella 00:10, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
Where did the system map come from? I was trying to find/create one for the Heart of Dixie RR Museum page. Modestly Yours, Ferrous 13:58, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
i added a corporate infobox with key people and company stats. So far only the CEO is covered, but im sure we could add more ppl. Paco8191 02:31, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
Three of the entries seem erroneous to me:
CSXT's only yard in East St Louis is Rose Lake Yard, which is not a hump. "East St Louis" Yard is owned by the KCS, formerly GWWR, and has had its hump ripped out. The two humps that are in ESL are owned by the TRRA (Madison) and ALS (Gateway).
The only CSXT Hump near Albany is Selkirk - which is already mentioned in this list.
And I believe Walbridge Yard has had its hump ripped out, leaving only Stanley in Toledo with a hump, and Walbridge is now a base for Autorack sorting?
And the text line "The larger yards are located in:" and title "Major Hump Yards" seem silly to me - this looks like a comprehensive list of CSXT's humps, not just larger ones.
Danny252 (talk) 00:04, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
I took Albany off the list at least. I'm guessing people less familiar with the area keep confusing it with Selkirk. n2xjk (talk) 15:59, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Oak Island isn't a flat-switching yard. It has a functional hump. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.195.113.204 (talk) 21:25, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
The 150 word paragraph (except the last sentence) on naming could be reduced to a short sentence. Yes, when I came to the article I wanted to know what CSX meant. It's enough to say lawyers picked it with it having any special meaning.
It's not easy to read, and really doesn't say much about the railway. It gets in the way.
Also, the whole paragraph has no citations.

The referenced link now gives a 404 error. However, in a recent column on the Railway Age website, new information is given on the reason the X was chosen. I am updating thise part of the article with the new information and reference. [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by No hazmats (talk • contribs) 15:32, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

There was one link to this under the 'See Also' section, that linked to an outside site. As far as I can tell CFN is no longer associated with CSX, and for that link to be put under 'See Also', there would have to be a reference to it in the article, right?

CSX brags about this claim on their website and NPR and I want to know if it is true and how it is true before I put it in the CFX article. After all, this is better than a hybrid.

This statement from the lead paragraph, "CSX operates one of the three Class I railroads serving most of the East Coast, the other two being the Norfolk Southern Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway," leaves the impression that CSX owns CPR. This is definitely not the case. 74.14.180.220 (talk) 15:33, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
I have removed the laundry lists of locomotives and horns in the article's section on CSX locomotives. I hope this is okay.--Zxnelo (talk) 06:49, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
I don't think that the CSX 8888 incident deserves a mention on this page, let alone a whole section. All Class I railroads have had a number of incidents and accidents in their histories, and CSX is no exception. Putting it in Category:CSX Transportation seems like enough for me.--Hell on Wheels (talk) 19:25, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
There being no objections after almost a year, I shall remove the section.--Hell on Wheels (talk) 20:04, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
Apparently, someone objects [2]. Tell ya what, let's just include a link to this and any other accidents notable enough for an article. CSX has probably had hundreds of fatal incidents since the merger, the one in question was neither fatal, nor did it even damage property. A link is surely enough.--Hell on Wheels (talk) 03:29, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

99% of this section is sourced to absolutely nothing and is either original research or railfan lore. I think the overly detailed template would apply quite well here: "This article may contain an excessive amount of intricate detail that may interest only a particular audience" (especially "paint and aesthetics"). If slimmed down to only what can be reliably sourced, there would be maybe three sentences. This section is easily the worst part of this article and in its current state, I don't think it can stay.

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
These two articles don't seem to be big enough to stand on their own, as it just seems like a larger article on a corporation split into two sections forked unnecessarily. Most of the content except for the History sections lack the need for excessive work. Since the two big meanings of CSX on Wikipedia today are merged, I would also take this time to propose that the newly merged article could take the title of CSX, which is currently a redirect to CSX Transportation.

Over the years, different editors have followed different rules of thumb to help them decide when an article is likely to be a stub. Editors may decide that an article with more than ten sentences is too big to be a stub, or that the threshold for another article may be 250 words. Others follow the Did you know? standard of 1,500 characters in the main text, which is usually around 300 words.Neither article is remotely near a stub. CSX Corporation is 1,579 words. CSX Transportation is 1,690, and it's way below the length it should be, given the extensive coverage that exists of CSX. It just hasn't been expanded yet.
CSX Transportation was established on January 26 1944 as the second Seaboard Air Line railroad under the name Seaboard Air Line Railroad (Company) and replaced the first Seaboard Air Line railroad in 1946; it changed names later to Seaboard Coast Line Railroad (Company) and then to Seaboard System Railroad (, Inc.) before assuming its current name.[1][2]
This entity only ever existed on paper as part of the implementation of the Conrail split. There is very little that can be said about it, and that minimal information should be placed in the CSX article, which is where the New York Central Lines LLC rail lines went. I have proposed a merger of Pennsylvania Lines LLC into NS for the same reason. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 20:14, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
