CSX

Csx Corporation

A freight railroad that moves merchandise, coal, and containerized consumer goods by rail, truck, and intermodal terminals across the eastern United States and parts of Canada. Its trucking arm, Quality Carriers, is the largest bulk liquid chemicals hauler in North America. CSX was born in 1980 from the merger of the Chessie System and Seaboard Coast Line Industries; the name was a temporary shorthand in legal filings that simply stuck. The "C" and "S" stand for Chessie and Seaboard, and the "X" was a placeholder that became permanent.
