Right Car Right Train1

1 ‘Right Car Right Train’ is defined as the percentage of cars that departed from a yard in accordance with their car scheduling trip plan

Right Car Right Train is no longer a measure that CSX uses to manage its operation― In scheduled railroading, if a car can be advanced on

another train to speed transit or ensure its on-time arrival, there is not one “right train”

Car priority is to move cars quickly, on next available train― Asset utilization a key tenet of scheduled railroading

Train priority is blocking integrity and departing all available, relevant cars from the yard― Blocking integrity certifies that a train is built correctly

and shipments are headed to the correct location― Managed through field supervision

Train & Engine Headcount and Re-crew Rate1Active Locomotives

1 Re-crew rate is re-crew people starts as a percent of total measured people starts, and represents incidences of replacing a crew on the same train ID (generally due to hours of service)

Locomotive level coming down in concert with network velocity improvement

Recent headcount decline driven by train staffing efficiency and adjustments to extra boards

Absolute number of humps not “good” or “bad”; goal is best mix of hump and flat yards for processing efficiency

Car fulfillment settled higher, averaging 97% year-to-date

Weekly Car Orders, Customer Empty Idles, and Fill Rate1

Cars Ordered/Idle

Order Fill Rates

Over 300 orders filled in week 3 against week 2 open orders, increasing fill to 101%

― Car flows fully recovered following holiday

Empty car dwell remains elevated at customer locations

― Empty idle cars at a given customer held >24 hours considered available to fill that customer’s orders

2018 Weeks

1 2017 orders and fill rate normalized for Weeks 14-44 against historical/expected order levels (Q1 2017), as orders were disconnected with demand; starting week 45, improved process leaves orders open for two weeks, counts empty idle cars > 24 hours at a customer location as a filled order for that day

1 ‘Local Service Measurement’ is defined as the percentage of cars that were pulled or placed at a customer location based upon daily customer request, the local service plan and available inventory at the local serving yard

2018 Weeks

Local Service Measurement (LSM) is not a primary metric that CSX uses to manage its operation

― In scheduled railroading, focus on end-to-end transit and customer expectations

However, reliable pull and place expected as part of service to customers

Customer InquiriesDaily Average Log Volume

Improved communication allowing for faster, more local resolution

― Accountability for resolution of customer issues resides with field responsibility

― Escalating and resolving critical issues with senior leadership

Enhancing key customer tools and aligning workstreams to allow for easier, more direct connections
