July 15, 2026 – CSX has been named to U.S. Veterans Magazine’s 2026 Top Veteran Employers list, recognizing the company’s commitment to recruiting, hiring, retaining, and supporting military veterans.
 
The annual list highlights organizations that create meaningful career opportunities and supportive workplaces for veterans, transitioning service members, and military families.
 
“We’re honored to be recognized by U.S. Veterans Magazine as a Top Veteran Employer,” said Riz Chand, Chief Human Resources Officer. “Veterans bring a strong focus on safety and service, as well as leadership and teamwork. These qualities are essential to our railroad and to the customers and communities we serve.”
 
U.S. Veterans Magazine evaluates employers on veteran hiring, retention, benefits, onboarding, employee resource groups, nonprofit partnerships, and military family support. Its research process includes survey submissions, independent evaluation, public records, interviews, reader feedback, press coverage, and participation in veteran-focused conferences and events.
 
“This recognition reflects the dedication of our CSX teams who work every day to make our company a place where veterans can thrive,” said Maryclare Kenney, Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer. “As a veteran, I know firsthand the value military experience brings for our customers, communities, and our railroad. We are committed to ensuring our military-connected employees have the resources, support, and development opportunities they need to be successful.”
 
Nearly one in five CSX employees has served in the military, making the company’s commitment to veterans deeply personal. CSX’s SALUTE Business Resource Group supports outreach that strengthens ties to the military community and helps foster belonging for veterans, service members, and their families. Through CSX’s Pride in Service signature community initiative, the company also supports military-connected employees as they give back in the communities they call home.
