… saving lives and fuel; reducing congestion and pollution

ENVIRONMENTAL ADVANTAGES OF RAIL
Railroads sre the most environmentally-friendly and energy efficient way to move goods on land. A single train can carry the load of more than 280 trucks
On average, railroads are three or more times more fuel efficient than the alternative. Trains can move a ton of freight 436 miles on a single gallon of fuel.
Since 1980, CSX has improved its fuel efficiency by almost 90 percent, and with constant innovation, freight rail becomes more efficient every day. In the past five years CSX has invested more than $ 1 billion to upgrade its fleet with more fuel efficient locomotives.
Shifting 10% of long-haul freight from the highway to the railway would reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions by more than 12 million tons.
The EPA estimates that moving freight by rail emits three times less nitrogen oxide and particulates per ton-mile than highway transportation.

These investments will generate an estimated 376 new jobs at those businesses.
CSX is a regular contributor to both regional and national organisations, such as National safe Place, the Wounded Warrior Project, local schools and emergency management services.
