As the most fuel-efficient mode of freight transportation on land, railroads are uniquely positioned to contribute to a more sustainable society.

When CSX reduces our carbon footprint, we further benefit our customers by helping them meet their sustainability targets. 

Whether you’re a current customer or just exploring shipping options, use the CSX Carbon Calculator and CSX Carbon Estimator to measure potential GHG savings by shipping with rail.
