CSX Reports Record Second Quarter Earnings

Second Quarter Highlights:

·	Earnings per share from continuing operations increase 31%

·	All-time records in revenues and operating income, up 15% and 17% respectively

·	Safety and service performance remains strong

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., (July 15, 2008) – CSX Corporation [NYSE: CSX] today reported second quarter 2008 earnings of $385 million, or a record 93 cents per share. Last year CSX reported second quarter earnings of $324 million, or 71 cents per share.

Second quarter 2008 results included 4 cents per share associated with the resolution of certain tax matters. On a comparable basis, excluding this item, second quarter EPS was up 25 percent from a year ago. (See table below for reconciliation of quarter items to reported numbers.)

“CSX continues to deliver significant value for shareholders and demonstrate the secular strength of our business,” said Michael Ward, chairman, president and CEO. “The strong earnings performance delivered by this team was supported by all–time records in revenue and operating income, despite the effects of a softer economy.”

Sustained strong demand for export coal, grain, ethanol, metals and phosphates and fertilizers, as well as solid yield management, continued to lead significant revenue growth across CSX’s markets. Revenue increased in eight of the company’s ten markets resulting in overall quarterly revenues of $2.9 billion, a 15 percent increase over the same period last year.

CSX produced quarterly operating income of $717 million, up 17 percent over the $612 million reported last year. The company’s continued focus on productivity and cost control helped to offset the significant increase in fuel costs, driving its operating ratio to 75.3 percent for the quarter.

“We are achieving the company’s vision, quickly taking this company’s results to industry leading positions,” said Ward. “This success is propelled by our employees every day delivering exceptional customer service, safety, innovation and a balanced approach to managing capital that drives shareholder value and positions the company to leverage future demand.”

Reflecting the company’s strong second quarter performance and the underlying strength of its business, CSX continues to target the upper end of its previously announced 2008 EPS guidance of $3.40 – $3.60 on a comparable basis.

This earnings announcement, as well as a package of detailed financial information, is contained in the CSX Quarterly Financial Report available on the company's website at http://investors.csx.com in the Investors section and on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

CSX executives will conduct a quarterly earnings conference call with the investment community on July 16, 2008 at 8:30 a.m. ET. Investors, media and the public may listen to the conference call by dialing 888-327-6279 (888-EARN-CSX) and asking for the CSX earnings call. (Callers outside the U.S., dial 773-756-0199).

Following the earnings call, an internet replay of the presentation will be archived on the company website.

GAAP Reconciliation1

CSX reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures used to manage the company’s business that fall within the meaning of Regulation G (Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures) by the SEC may provide users of the financial information with additional meaningful comparisons to prior reported results.

In press releases and presentation slides for stock analysts, CSX has provided financial information adjusted for certain items, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The company’s management evaluates its business and makes certain operating decisions (e.g., budgeting, forecasting, employee compensation, asset management and resource allocation) using these adjusted numbers.

Likewise, this information facilitates comparisons to financial results that are directly associated with ongoing business operations as well as provides comparable historical information. Lastly, earnings forecasts prepared by stock analysts and other third parties generally exclude the effects of items that are difficult to predict or measure in advance and are not directly related to CSX’s ongoing operations. A reconciliation between GAAP and the non-GAAP measure is provided above. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP measures.

Forward-looking statements

This information and other statements by the company contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act with respect to, among other items: projections and estimates of earnings, revenues, cost-savings, expenses, or other financial items; statements of management’s plans, strategies and objectives for future operation, and management’s expectations as to future performance and operations and the time by which objectives will be achieved; statements concerning proposed new products and services; and statements regarding future economic, industry or market conditions or performance. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “estimate” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement. If the company does update any forward-looking statement, no inference should be drawn that the company will make additional updates with respect to that statement or any other forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, and actual performance or results could differ materially from that anticipated by these forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements include, among others; (i) the company’s success in implementing its financial and operational initiatives; (ii) changes in domestic or international economic or business conditions, including those affecting the rail industry (such as the impact of industry competition, conditions, performance and consolidation); (iii) legislative or regulatory changes; (iv) the inherent business risks associated with safety and security; and (v) the outcome of claims and litigation involving or affecting the company.

Other important assumptions and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are specified in the company’s SEC reports, accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and the company’s website at www.csx.com.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Income Statement Reclassifications: Beginning in 2008, certain items have been reclassified within the income statement. These reclassifications include reclassifying all items within other operating income and certain items within other income into the Rail segment. As a result of this change, CSX consolidated operating income and Surface Transportation operating income will now be the same; therefore, the Company will no longer report separate Surface Transportation results. The Rail segment was not materially impacted by these reclassifications. Certain prior-year data have been reclassified to conform to the 2008 presentation.

Fuel Expense: Beginning in 2008, the Company reclassified all non-locomotive fuel related costs previously included in materials, supplies and other into fuel on the Company’s consolidated income statement so that it now includes all fuel used for operations and maintenance. For second quarters 2008 and 2007, these amounts were $39 million and $27 million, respectively.

c)	Income Tax Expense: In the second quarter of 2008, CSX recognized a tax benefit of $18 million, or $0.04 per share, principally related to the settlement of federal income tax audits and certain other tax matters.

CSX Corporation

REVENUE

The Company was able to achieve continued pricing gains during second quarter 2008 predominantly due to the overall cost advantages that rail-based solutions provide versus other modes of transportation. These pricing gains, and higher fuel recovery due to higher fuel prices, more than offset the continuing volume weakness in housing construction, domestic automobile production and related markets.

Merchandise

Chemicals – Revenue and revenue-per-unit increases were driven primarily by improved pricing and increased fuel recovery. Volume was down due to weakness in plastic shipments and chemicals used in construction and automobile production.

Emerging Markets, Forest Products, and Food and Consumer – Volume declines in building products, appliances and aggregates, which include crushed stone, sand and gravel, were due to continued softness in residential construction. Revenue-per-unit increases were driven by yield management initiatives and favorable fuel recoveries.

Agricultural Products – Volume growth was driven by increased shipments of ethanol as a result of expanded use in the eastern United States. Gains in price and increased fuel recovery led to increases in revenue and revenue per unit.

Metals – Improved pricing and increased fuel recovery continue to drive revenue and revenue-per-unit gains. Volume gains were driven by increases in scrap metal and pipe shipments.

Phosphates and Fertilizers – Revenue and revenue per unit increased due to favorable pricing actions and a rise in long-haul, high revenue-per-unit shipments. Volume gains were driven by stronger fertilizer shipments, which were due to increased crop plantings as a result of high commodity prices. These gains were partially offset by declines in short-haul phosphate shipments in Florida.

Coal

Sustained growth in yield and improved fuel recovery positively influenced revenue and revenue per unit. Volumes increased in the export market due to robust overseas demand. These gains were partially offset by lower shipments to electric utilities.

Automotive

Volume and revenue were down due to declining sales of trucks and SUVs resulting from high fuel prices as well as the slow economy and the tighter credit environment. Revenue per unit improved due to price increases and higher fuel recoveries.

Intermodal Operating Revenue

International - Revenue-per-unit increases were primarily driven by increased fuel recovery and yield management. Volumes were down due to continued declines in imports and changes in international shipping patterns.

Domestic – Growth in coast-to-coast shipments resulted in revenue and volume gains. Revenue-per-unit increases were primarily driven by increased fuel recovery as the favorable mix change from this incremental long-haul traffic was offset by the continued strength of lower revenue-per-unit truckload and short-haul train services.

CSX Corporation

EXPENSE

Expenses increased $272 million from last year’s quarter. Significant variances are described below.

Labor and Fringe expense decreased $10 million. This decrease was primarily driven by a reduction of train crew headcount due to lower volumes and improved productivity. Largely offsetting this decrease was wage and benefit inflation.

Materials, Supplies and Other expenses increased $43 million. The primary drivers were year-over-year casualty reserve changes, proxy and related litigation costs and inflation.

Fuel expense increased $221 million due to higher fuel prices which more than offset increased fuel efficiency and lower volume.

Depreciation expense increased $5 million. A larger asset base related to higher capital spending was partially offset by lower depreciation rates at rail and intermodal, resulting from the periodic review of asset useful lives.

Equipment and Other Rents expense increased $5 million as lower volumes were more than offset by equipment utilization due to a significant decline in the automotive business and inflation.

Inland Transportation increased $8 million driven by Intermodal’s increased transcontinental business and inflation.

(a)	Interest income includes amounts earned from CSX’s cash, cash equivalents and investments.

(b)

Income from real estate and resort operations includes the results of operations of the Company’s real estate sales, leasing, acquisition and management and development activities as well as the results of operations from CSX Hotels, Inc., a resort doing business as The Greenbrier, located in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. Income from real estate may fluctuate as a function of timing of real estate sales. Resort operations were down in 2008 due to decreased group business.

(c)

Miscellaneous income is comprised of equity earnings, minority interest, investment gains and losses and other non-operating activities. In last year’s second quarter, CSX recognized $10 million of expense for an early redemption premium and the write-off of debt issuance costs. For the first six months of 2008, CSX recorded a non-cash adjustment to correct equity earnings from a non-consolidated subsidiary. This correction resulted in additional income of $30 million. The impact of this adjustment was immaterial to second quarter 2008 and is expected to be immaterial in future reporting periods.
