CSX Corporation is the parent company of a number of subsidiaries that provide multimodal freight transportation services across America and around the world. Formed in 1980, CSX Transportation operates the largest rail network in the eastern United States. CSX Transportation, based in Jacksonville, Fla., provides rail transportation over more than 23,000 route miles in 23 states, the District of Columbia and two Canadian provinces. In addition, it provides services to customers outside its network through its strategic partnerships with shortline and Class I railroads in the United States, Canada and Mexico. CSX serves more North American ports than any other U.S. railroad, and, through CSX Corporation subsidiary company CSX World Terminals, also reaches key ports in Europe, Asia, and South America. CSX Intermodal is the nation's only transcontinental intermodal service provider, with single-line non-stop service between the Midwest and New York and New England. Together with CSX Transportation, it offers the industry's fastest service between the consumer-rich markets of New York/New England and Florida, and provides transcontinental service linking the eastern U.S. with key markets on the West Coast.

CSX Transportation’s Regional Development Department works closely with state and local economic development authorities to bring new businesses and jobs to communities along its system. Through its industrial development program, CSX Transportation has played a key role during the last decade in helping nearly 1100 companies locate and expand along its rail lines. Since 1994, CSX Transportation has supported approximately $25 billion in industrial development projects, creating over 70,000 jobs.
