Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Csx shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Csx offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Csx at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Csx? Wrong! If the Csx is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Csx then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Csx? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Csx and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Csx wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Csx then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Csx site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Csx, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Csx, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

CSX Transportation is a [Class I railroad in the United States, owned by the CSX Corporation. It is one of the two Class Is serving most of the East Coast, the other being the Norfolk Southern Railway.

History Main article: List of CSX Transportation predecessor railroads CSX Transportation was formed on July 1, 1986 as a renaming of the Seaboard System Railroad and Chessie System, Inc. into one entity. The originator of the Seaboard System was the former Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, which previously merged Seaboard Air Line Railroad, and later Louisville and Nashville Railroad, as well as several smaller subsidiaries. On August 31, 1987 the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, which had absorbed the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad on April 30 of that year, merged into CSX. The merger had been started in 1980 with the merger of Chessie System and Seaboard Coast Line Industries to form the CSX Corporation.

On June 23, 1997, CSX Transportation and Norfolk Southern filed a joint application with the Surface Transportation Board for authority to purchase, divide and operate the assets of the 11,000-mile Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail), which had been created in 1976 by bringing together several ailing Northeastern railway systems into a government-owned corporation. On June 6, 1998, the STB approved the CSX-Norfolk Southern application and set August 22, 1998, as the effective date of its decision. CSX acquired 42% of Conrail's assets (Norfolk Southern got the remaining 58%). As a result of the transaction, CSX's rail operations, through its new subsidiary New York Central Lines, grew to include some 3,800 miles of the Conrail system (predominantly the former New York Central Railroad). CSX began operating its trains on its portion of the Conrail network on June 1, 1999.

The name came about during merger talks between Chessie System, Inc. and Seaboard System Railroad, Inc., commonly called Chessie and Seaboard. The company chairmen said it was important for the new name to include neither of those names due to it being a partnership. Employees were asked for suggestions, most of which consisted of combinations of the initials. At the same time a temporary shorthand name was needed for discussions with the Interstate Commerce Commission. CSC was chosen but belonged to a trucking company in Virginia. CSM (for Chessie-Seaboard Merger) was also taken. The lawyers decided to use CSX, and the name stuck. In the public announcement, it was said that "CSX is singularly appropriate. C can stand for Chessie, S for Seaboard, and X, the multiplication symbol, means that together we are so much more, and T for Transportation." The T had to be added to use CSXT as a reporting mark, since company initials that end in X could only be used by non-railroad railcar owners.

Company executives The Presidents of CSX have included:

The Chief Executive Officers of CSX have been:

CSX Divisions CSX operates two regions, they are split by the Northern Region which is based out of Calumet City, IL and has five divisions, and the Southern Region based out of Jacksonville, FL which also has five divisions. Within these regions CSX has 10 divisions.

Unit trains CSX operates the Juice Train, train numbers Q740 and Q741, a famous unit train of Tropicana Products fresh orange juice between Bradenton, Florida, and distribution centers in Jersey City, New Jersey and Cincinnati, Ohio. in the United States.

In the 21st century, CSX Juice Trains have been the focus of efficiency studies and have received awards. They are considered good examples of how modern rail transportation can compete successfully with trucking and other modes to carry perishable products.

CSX also runs daily trash trains out from New York City, bound for Florida, train numbers K206/K207 and Q702/Q703. These trains usually consist of about fifty cars with four twenty foot containers of trash on each.

Another style of unit train is a local trash train, ID # D765 that runs between Derwood Maryland and Dickerson Maryland. The train runs daily except Sunday, sometimes twice a day around busy holidays. Trash is carried from the Montgomery County Transfer to an incinerator off the Potomac Electric Power Company lead in Dickerson. The trip is roughly 17 miles, and the train is made up of NSC built double stacks, holding 40' containers. The first NEMX double stacks were built when the D765 first started operations in 1997. In recent years, the fleet has been somewhat upgraded, repainted, and some entirely new cars have been constructed. In the early days, power was a GP40-2/RDMT slug set, but the train has grown to a heavy 40 cars or so. Power is now most often a duo of SD50s

Locomotives

CSX has a few famous locomotives around the system, the locomotive number will be in Bold text (the current paint scheme is blue and gold):

Former Conrail motive power can be spotted by recognizing phase differences in engine models and road numbering. Other spotting details can be hit or miss, but can include a number of the following; Class lights, Leslie model RS3L Train horns in North America, former Conrail SD40-2s ride on Flexicoil "C" trucks and have anticlimbers, below-anticlimber mounted ditch lights, modified "Bright Future" paint with battery box faces painted yellow versus black or blue.

CSX has created a new paint scheme, YN3, which debuted in 2002 on EMD SD50 8503 . At the present, CSX has over 1000 YN3-painted locomotives.

Major hump yards CSX operates a number of large classification yards around the system that include "hump" operations. Trains are slowly pushed over a small manmade hill as cars are uncoupled at the crest of the hill and allowed to roll down the hump into the appropriate tracks for outbound trains. The larger yards are located in:
