EthX—Express Ethanol Delivery
EthX is CSX's express ethanol delivery service, the most efficient and cost-effective way to deliver ethanol east of the Mississippi—from the fields to New York and New England blending stations. It’s the perfect way to tap into greater volume and capacity, better service and lower shipping bills.
Long Haul or Short Run? Either way, CSX's EthX has you covered:
- Unit trains with more than 65 ethanol tankers provide the best economics and car efficiency, plus the fastest and most consistent service.
- With smaller orders, our single-car service gives you the economies of rail, making ethanol shipping faster and safer than other modes of transportation.
You don't have to be rail served, and you don't have to order 2 million gallons of ethanol a day to benefit from EthX. We have 3 options for you to work with:
- Rail-to-storage and rail-to-barge via our water-served terminals
- Rail-to-truck through our TRANSFLO network
- Rail direct to rail-served ethanol-blending terminals.
No matter which one you use, EthX is one-stop shipping, with one bill and one point of contact.
