Who We Are

For nearly 200 years, the rail industry has been central to our nation's economy. The future holds an unprecedented demand for freight rail services. At CSX, we've been building our company to meet that demand with the best and brightest employees, new technology, training and investment in the railroad.

Not only is the opportunity in our industry at a new high, but CSX has been making great progress and breaking records of our own. We're improving in safety, service and customer satisfaction. And we're counting on talented people to be an integral part of new heights we'll reach going forward.

You'll hear a lot about our core values at CSX. For now, I'd like to draw your attention to just two of those: Safety is a Way of Life and People Make the Difference. We depend on each other to work safely every day. At CSX, we rely on each other for 100% adherence to safety rules. You make the difference.

I started at the railroad more than 30 years ago as a management trainee. It's been a great experience and I've seen many changes. One thing that hasn't changed is the opportunity for a long and very rewarding career. It's up to you to make the most of that opportunity.

Whether you're beginning your career, or you're making a change to gain new experience, you are part of our investment in the future and how tomorrow moves.
