CSX: Rail Solutions
CSX offers a number of different ways for you to integrate rail into your transportation
mix, from Rail Direct services for customers who are rail served to Rail to Truck for those
who aren’t. But regardless of whether you are rail served or not, CSX will work with you
to develop a customized solution that meets your transportation needs AND lowers your
costs. Some of the solutions we have developed for customers include:
Rail Direct
Freight is railed directly from the shipper to the receiver. This is the most economicalmeans of integrating rail into the transportation mix but requires both the shipper and thereceiver to be rail served.
Rail to Truck
Freight is railed to a central warehouse where it is immediately cross-docked and placedon a truck for local delivery to the customer. As part of this service, CSX can locate andarrange for both the warehousing and trucking of the product. Customers can even usetheir own fleet of trucks for pick-up. This solution works best for customers who are notrail served but who can take railcar-size quantities at one time.
Rail to Warehouse
Freight is railed directly to a nearby warehouse where it can be stored for pick-up ordelivery to the customer. CSX can arrange for both the warehousing and the trucking.This solution is ideal for customers who cannot take a railcar-size load at one time andinstead want to stagger delivery of the product from the warehouse.
Load Sharing
Freight is consolidated onto a railcar at the shipper, railed to a central point, broken upand trucked to multiple final destinations. Customers can either pick the product up intheir own trucks or trucking can be arranged to the final destination. This service isdesigned for customers who have several facilities ordering the same product but don’thave a rail-served distribution center to serve them from.
Forward Position
Freight is railed to a warehouse and forward positioned for later pick-up by the customer.This service is built around those customers who lack sufficient warehouse space but whowant to have ready access to a constant supply of product that they can access.

CSX:Food Shippers
CSX works with hundreds of different shippers to move food products around the
country. On the pages that follow, you will find a listing of these shippers broken out by
the products they move. These are shippers who use rail today and whom you can work
with to get your product moving by rail to lower your transportation costs.
When shipping by rail, it’s important to know about railcars and how much product can fit
onto one. That’s why we’ve included here the equipment used to transport each product
and the truck-to-rail ratio, the ratio of how many trucks can fit onto a railcar when moving
a particular product. We’ve also included more detailed information about rail equipment
in the back of this directory. Use this information to help you determine your cost
savings when looking at rail prices.
If you don’t see a particular shipper, don’t worry, we serve many more food shippers via
our Intermodal services. So just give us a call at 800-528-5222 and we’ll
work with both you and your shipper to integrate rail into your transportation mix and
save you money.

CSX Rail Equipment50' Boxcar
Boxcars are used for loads that must be protected from the weather. Boxcars can be equipped
with load cushioning underframes or rigid underframes. Standard boxcars carry from 70 to 100
tons. CSX standard boxcars come with single sliding or plug doors. Some are equipped with
bulkhead load devices.
60' Boxcar
These cars are similar to a 50' standard boxcar but longer in length. All CSX 60' cars have
cushioned underframes. The CSX-owned cars have either a plug or a sliding single door.
Insulated Boxcar
Insulated boxcars are used to carry products requiring protection from temperature extremes. These
cars have the equivalent of at least 3-inch insulation on the sides and 31/2 inches on the roof and
floor. They do not have a cooling system. However, with plug doors and load-restraining devices,
these cars can maintain the temperature of many food products within satisfactory limits throughout
an extended trip without the expense of mechanical temperature control.
Mechanical Refrigerator Car
Reefers are capable of maintaining temperatures required by various fresh and frozen products.
They are equipped with a diesel-powered cooling unit that can last for as long as two weeks of
unattended operations. Most are also equipped with cushioning and load-restraining devices. The
newest units feature fresh air exchange, satellite interface, data logging system and Carrier
Premium Ultima refrigeration units. They range in size from 50', the most common size, all the
way up to 72'. CSX does not own any reefer and instead uses other carriers’, like the UP and
BNSF, reefers to move perishable products.
