Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
In December 1993, a Consent Decree was entered in the U. S. District
Court in Jacksonville, Florida to settle claims of Federal Clean Water Act
violations alleged against CSXT. The Consent Decree resolves a civil
enforcement action initiated in June, 1992, by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency with respect to alleged violations by CSXT of permit discharge
limitations at five rail yard waste water treatment facilities in Florida and
North Carolina. The settlement called for a civil penalty of $3 million, which
has been paid by CSXT, as well as the establishment of an escrow account in the
amount of $4 million to fund certain environmentally beneficial projects.

Liabilities and Long-Term Operating Agreements, on pages 32 and 33.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
---------------------------------------------
To the Shareholder and Board of Directors
of CSX Transportation, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial
position of CSX Transportation, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993
and 1992, and the related consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above (appearing on pages 12-34) present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated financial position of CSX Transportation, Inc. and subsidiaries at
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the consolidated results of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1993 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Notes 1 and 11 to the consolidated financial
statements, CSXT changed its method of accounting for post-retirement benefits
other than pensions in 1991.

CSX TRANSPORTATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(All Tables in Millions of Dollars)
NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Principles of Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the results of
operations, cash flows and financial position of CSXT and its majority-owned
subsidiaries as a single entity. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated. CSXT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSX
Corporation (CSX).
Investments in companies that are not majority-owned are carried at
either cost or equity, depending on the extent of control.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents primarily represent amounts due from CSX for
CSXT's participation in the CSX cash management plan and are net of outstanding
checks which are funded daily as presented for payment.
Accounts Receivable
CSXT has an ongoing agreement to sell without recourse, on a revolving
basis each month, an undivided percentage ownership interest in all freight
accounts receivable to CSX Trade Receivable Corporation (CTRC), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of CSX. At December 31, 1993 and 1992, accounts receivable sold
under this agreement totaled $556 million and $600 million, respectively. In
addition, CSXT has an agreement to sell with recourse on a monthly basis, an
undivided ownership interest in all miscellaneous accounts receivable to a
financial institution. At December 31, 1993, accounts receivable sold under
this agreement totaled $50 million.
Materials and Supplies
Materials and supplies are carried at average cost.
- 17 -
PAGE 18
CSX TRANSPORTATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
Properties
Properties are carried principally at cost. Provisions for
depreciation are based on estimated useful service lives of seven to 42 years,
computed primarily on the straight-line composite method. Under this method,
gains and losses on ordinary dispositions are recorded to accumulated
depreciation.
Post-retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
CSXT has adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Post-retirement Benefits Other than Pensions." Under the accrual method
specified by SFAS No. 106, the total future cost of providing other
post-retirement employment benefits (OPEBs) is estimated and recognized as
expense over the employees' requisite service period.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used by CSXT in estimating
fair values for financial instruments as required by SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures
about Fair Value of Financial Instruments":
Current Assets and Current Liabilities
The carrying amounts reported in the statement of financial position
for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial
instruments approximate their fair values.
Long-Term Debt
The fair values of CSXT's long-term debt have been based upon market
quotations for similar debt instruments or have been estimated using
discounted cash flow analyses based upon CSXT's current incremental
borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
Currently, CSXT has no short-term debt arrangements.
CSXT's remaining financial instruments at December 31, 1993, are not
significant.
Environmental Costs
Environmental costs that relate to current operations are expensed or
capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to remediating an existing
condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or
future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when CSXT's
responsibility for environmental remedial efforts is deemed probable, and the
costs can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals
coincides with the completion of a feasibility study or CSXT's commitment to a
formal plan of action. The recorded liabilities for estimated future
environmental costs at December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, were $131 million, $77
million and $81 million, respectively.

Common Stock and Other Capital
There have been no changes in common stock during the last three
years.
Prior Year Data
Certain prior-year data have been reclassified to conform to the 1993
presentation.
NOTE 2. PRODUCTIVITY CHARGES.
In the fourth quarter of 1991, CSXT recorded a pretax charge to
provide for the estimated costs of implementing work force reductions,
improvements in productivity and other cost reductions. The charge amounted to
$647 million on a pretax basis and reduced 1991 net earnings by $409 million.
In the second quarter of 1992, CSXT recorded a charge principally to recognize
the estimated additional costs of buying out certain trip-based compensation
elements paid to train crew employees. The additional pretax charge amounted to
$664 million and reduced net earnings for 1992 by $427 million.
The $1.3 billion in combined charges includes $1.2 billion for
reductions from three to two member train crews and for buying out productivity
funds and short-crew allowances. CSXT has reached labor agreements across
virtually all of its rail system allowing it to operate trains with two-member
crews. The estimated cost based on the ratified labor agreements with the
United Transportation Union members is approximately 93% of the amount initially
provided.
As of December 31, 1993, payments totaling $518 million have been
recorded as a reduction of the aggregate liabilities for the productivity
charges. The remaining liability consists of $604 million for employee
separations and associated costs and $189 million for claims, litigation and
other negotiated settlements.

of way in Broward, Dade and Palm Beach counties to the state of Florida for $264
million. The sale, which is being recognized on the installment basis, resulted
in cash proceeds of $75 million, a pretax gain of $59 million and an after-tax
gain of $37 million. The remaining proceeds of $189 million, which were
received in the form of an installment mortgage note, are subject to annual
legislative appropriations. The deferred installment gain of $148 million will
be recognized each year through 1997 as scheduled payments are received. At
December 31, 1993 and 1992, the long-term portion of the mortgage note
receivable totaled $102 and $130 million, respectively, and was included in
other assets in the consolidated statement of financial position.

NOTE 5. INCOME TAXES.
Effective January 1, 1993, CSXT adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS No.
109 superseded SFAS No. 96, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which CSXT adopted
effective January 1, 1987. SFAS No. 109 requires that deferred income tax
assets and liabilities be classified as current or non-current based upon the
classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting. Net
earnings for 1993 were not impacted by the adoption of SFAS No. 109. As
permitted under the new rules, prior-year financial statements have not been
restated.

(a) CSXT revised its annual effective tax rate in 1993 to reflect the
change in the federal statutory rate from 34 to 35 percent. The
effect of this change was to increase deferred income tax expense by
$46 million related to applying the newly enacted statutory income tax
rate to deferred tax balances as of January 1, 1993.

CSXT and its subsidiaries are included in the consolidated federal
income tax return filed by CSX. The consolidated federal income tax expense or
benefit is allocated to CSXT and its subsidiaries as though CSXT had filed a
separate consolidated return.
Federal income tax payments to CSX and payments to state taxing
authorities during 1993, 1992 and 1991 totaled $80 million, $56 million and $58
million, respectively.
At December 31, 1993 and 1992, investment tax credits of approximately
$100 million and $126 million and alternative minimum tax credits of $168
million and $148 million, respectively, are being carried forward for separate
tax return purposes and have been recognized for financial reporting purposes as
a reduction of the deferred tax liability. Investment tax credits are accounted
for under the flow-through method. The earliest carryforwards of investment tax
credits begin to expire in 1997.
Examinations of the federal income tax returns of CSX and its
principal subsidiaries have been completed through 1987. Returns for 1988-1990
are currently under examination. Management believes adequate provision has
been made for any adjustments that might be assessed.

NOTE 6. RELATED PARTIES.
Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1993 and 1992, includes $336
million and $310 million, respectively, representing amounts due from CSX for
CSXT's participation in the CSX cash management plan. Under this plan, excess
cash is advanced to CSX for investment and CSX makes cash funds available to its
subsidiaries as needed for use in their operations. CSX is committed to repay
all amounts due on demand should circumstances require. The companies are
charged for borrowings or compensated for investments based on returns earned by
the plan portfolio.
Effective December 18, 1992, CSXT entered into an agreement with CTRC
to sell, on a revolving basis, without recourse, all existing accounts
receivable to CTRC. In October, 1993, this agreement was amended to sell only
freight accounts receivable to CTRC. As of December 31, 1993 and 1992, CSXT had
sold $556 million and $600 million, respectively, of accounts receivable to
CTRC.
CSXT has formal long-term borrowings from CSX which mature from 1994
to 2012 and total $86 million at December 31, 1993, and $106 million at December
31, 1992. Maturities during the next five years aggregate $17 million in 1994,
$17 million in 1995, $7 million in 1996, $7 million in 1997 and $7 million in
1998. Fixed interest rates range from 9% to 10% per annum and are based on the
market rates in effect when the respective borrowings were placed. Interest
expense on borrowings from CSX was $9 million, $11 million and $15 million in
1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
In 1989, CSXT's pension plan for salaried employees was merged with
the CSX Corporation Plan, and all assets of CSXT's plan were transferred to the
CSX merged plan. Since the plans were merged, CSX has allocated to CSXT a
portion of the net pension expense for the CSX Corporation Plan based on CSXT's
relative level of participation in the merged plan which considers the assets
and personnel previously in the CSXT plan. The allocated expense from the CSX
Corporation Plan amounted to $32 million in 1993, $23 million in 1992 and $32
million in 1991.
Included in Materials, Supplies and Other expense are amounts related
to a management service fee charged by CSX, data processing related charges from
CSX Technology, Inc., and the reimbursement, under an operating agreement, from
CSX Intermodal, Inc. (CSXI), for costs incurred by CSXT related to intermodal
operations. CSX Technology and CSXI are wholly-owned subsidiaries of CSX.
Materials, Supplies and Other expense includes net expense of $214 million, $128
million and $183 million in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively, relating to the
above arrangements. The $86 million increase from 1993 to 1992 was
predominately the result of an increase in the management fee charged by CSX and
a one-time intercompany transfer to CSXI in 1992.
In 1991, CSXT entered into an operating lease agreement with CSXI for
3,400 rebuilt coal gondola cars. The cars, which were previously owned and
rebuilt by CSXT, were sold to CSXI for $117 million which resulted in no gain.
These cars are presently being leased by CSXT through March 2006. In addition,
CSXT is leasing 65 locomotives from CSXI pursuant to a pre-existing operating
- 23 -

NOTE 6. RELATED PARTIES, Continued
lease agreement acquired by CSXI from a third party at year-end 1992. These
locomotives are being leased by CSXT through May 2008. The minimum lease
payments for the locomotives and coal gondola cars discussed above are
approximately $18 million annually. These lease payments are included in the
minimum lease payments as discussed in Note 12.
In 1988, CSXT participated with Sea-Land Service, Inc. (Sea-Land), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of CSX, in four sale-leaseback arrangements. Under
these arrangements, Sea-Land sold equipment to a third party and CSXT leased the
equipment and assigned the lease to Sea-Land. Sea-Land is obligated for all
lease payments and other associated equipment expenses. If Sea-Land defaults on
its obligations, CSXT would assume the asset lease rights and obligations of
$174 million at December 31, 1993, under the arrangements.
CSX purchases futures and options contracts as a partial hedge against
fluctuations in fuel oil prices on behalf of CSXT and other CSX subsidiaries.
Gains and losses on contracts to hedge fuel oil commitments are deferred and
accounted for as a part of the commitment transaction. When recognized, these
gains and losses are recorded by the subsidiary. During 1993 and 1991, CSXT
recognized $2 million and $3 million, respectively, in net losses with 1992
yielding a slight gain associated with these fuel hedges. The counterparties to
certain futures and options contracts consist of a large number of major
financial institutions. Through CSX, the positions and the credit ratings of
these counterparties are continually monitored, and the amount of agreements or
contracts entered into with any one party are limited. While the company may be
exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties, it
does not currently anticipate losses.

NOTE 11. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS.
Pension Plans
CSX and its subsidiaries, including CSXT, have defined benefit pension
plans principally for salaried employees. The plans provide for eligible
employees to receive benefits primarily based on years of service and
compensation rates near retirement. Contributions to the plans are made on the
basis of not less than the minimum funding standards set forth in the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. See Note 6 for the
allocated pension expense from the CSX Corporation Plan.
Savings Plans
CSXT has established savings plans for virtually all full-time
salaried employees and certain employees covered by collective bargaining units
of CSXT and subsidiary companies. CSXT matches 50% of each salaried employee's
contribution, which is limited to 6% of the employee's earnings. CSXT
contributes fixed amounts for each participating employee covered by a
collective bargaining agreement. Expense for these plans was $22 million for
each of the years 1993, 1992 and 1991.
Other Post-Retirement Benefit Plans
In addition to the CSX defined benefit pension plans, CSXT
participates in two defined benefit post-retirement plans along with CSX and
other affiliates which cover most full-time salaried employees. One plan
provides medical benefits and another provides life insurance benefits. The
post-retirement health care plan is contributory, with retiree contributions
adjusted annually, and contains other cost-sharing features such as deductibles
and coinsurance. The accounting for the health care plan anticipates future
cost-sharing changes to the written plan that are consistent with the company's
expressed intent to increase the retiree contribution rate annually for the
expected medical inflation rate for that year. The life insurance plan is non-
contributory.
Effective January 1, 1991, CSXT adopted SFAS No. 106. The effect of
adopting the new guidelines had a minimal impact on 1991 results, as the net
periodic post-retirement benefit expense of $28 million approximated the expense
under the prior method of accounting for the above defined benefit plans, which
was on a pay-as-you-go basis. Net earnings for 1991 were decreased by $159
million (net of related income tax benefit of $96 million), by the cumulative
effect of the change in accounting related to years prior to 1991, which were
not restated.
The SFAS No. 106 calculations shown below were prepared for CSXT as if
it was participating in such plans on a stand-alone basis. Therefore, although
CSXT participates along with CSX and other affiliates in these two plans, a
separate measurement of the funding status and benefit expense attributable to
its participation in the plans was determined and recognized by CSXT on this
basis.

The weighted-average annual assumed rate of increase in the per capita
cost of covered benefits (i.e., health care cost trend rate) for the medical
plan is 11.5% for 1993-1994 and is assumed to decrease gradually to 5.5% in 2005
and remain at that level thereafter. The health care cost trend rate assumption
has a significant effect on the amounts reported. For example, increasing the

assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would
increase the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation for the medical plan
as of December 31, 1993 by 9%, and the aggregate of the service and interest
cost components of net periodic post-retirement benefit expense for 1993 by $2
million.
The weighted-average discount rate used in determining the accumulated
post-retirement benefit obligation was 7.25% and 8.25% at December 31, 1993 and
1992, respectively.
Post-employment Benefits
Effective January 1, 1994, the company will adopt SFAS No. 112
"Employers' Accounting for Post-employment Benefits." This statement requires
that certain benefits provided to former or inactive employees, after employment
but before retirement, such as workers' compensation and disability benefits, be
accrued if attributable to employees' service already rendered. The financial
impact of adopting SFAS No. 112 is not expected to be significant.
Other Plans
Under collective bargaining agreements, the company participates in a
number of union-sponsored, multi-employer benefit plans. Payments to these
plans are made as part of aggregate assessments generally based on hours worked,
tonnage moved or a combination thereof. The administrators of the multi-
employer plans generally allocate funds received from participating companies to
various health and welfare benefit plans and pension plans. Current information
regarding such allocations has not been provided by the administrators. Total
contributions of $139 million, $125 million and $150 million were made to these
plans in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
Certain officers and key employees of CSXT participate in stock
purchase performance and award plans of CSX. CSXT is allocated its share of any
cost to participate in these plans.
NOTE 12. SUMMARY OF COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES.
Lease Commitments
CSXT leases equipment under agreements with terms up to 21 years.
Non-cancelable, long-term leases generally include provisions for maintenance,
options to purchase at fair value and to extend the terms. At December 31,
1993, minimum equipment rentals under non-cancelable operating leases totaled
approximately $180 million for 1994, $165 million for 1995, $161 million for
1996, $165 million for 1997, $167 million for 1998 and $1.6 billion thereafter.

Lease Commitments, Continued
Rent expense on equipment operating leases, including net daily rental
charges on railroad operating equipment of $214 million, $204 million and $182
million in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively, amounted to $387 million in 1993,
$383 million in 1992 and $376 million in 1991. Deferred gains arising from
sale-leaseback transactions are being amortized over periods not exceeding 21
years and have reduced rent expense by $6 million in 1993, $6 million in 1992
and $5 million in 1991.
Purchase Commitment
CSXT entered into an agreement to purchase 300 locomotives from GE
Transportation Systems, a unit of General Electric Co. This large single order
will cover CSXT's normal locomotive replacement needs over the next four years.
This purchase agreement will introduce alternating current traction technology
to CSXT's locomotive fleet. CSXT will take delivery of 50 direct current and 30
alternating current locomotives in 1994, and the remaining 220 alternating
current units will be delivered during 1995-1997.
Contingent Liabilities and Long-Term Operating Agreements
CSXT and its subsidiaries are contingently liable individually and
jointly with others principally as guarantors of long-term debt and obligations,
primarily related to leased properties, joint ventures and joint facilities.
These contingent obligations amounted to approximately $199 million at December
31, 1993.
CSXT has various long-term railroad operating agreements that allow
for exclusive operating rights over various railroad lines. Under these
agreements, CSXT is obligated to pay usage fees of approximately $10 million
annually. The terms of these agreements range from 30 to 40 years.
CSXT is a party to various proceedings brought both by private parties
and regulatory agencies related to environmental issues. CSXT has been
identified as a potentially responsible party in a number of governmental
investigations and actions relating to environmentally impaired sites that are
or may be subject to remedial action under the Federal Superfund Statute
("Superfund") or corresponding state statutes. The majority of these
proceedings are based on allegations that CSXT, or its railroad predecessors,
sent hazardous substances to the facilities in question for disposal. Such
proceedings arising under Superfund typically involve numerous other waste
generators and disposal companies and seek to allocate or recover costs
associated with site investigation and cleanup, which could be substantial.
The assessment of the required response and remedial costs associated
with these sites is extremely complex. Among the variables that management must
assess are imprecise and changing remedial cost estimates and continually
evolving governmental standards.

NOTE 12. SUMMARY OF COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, Continued
Contingent Liabilities and Long-Term Operating Agreements, Continued
CSXT frequently reviews its role, if any, with respect to each such
location, giving consideration to the nature of CSXT's alleged connection to the
location (e.g., generator, owner or operator), the extent of CSXT's alleged
connection (e.g., volume of waste sent to the location and other relevant
factors), the accuracy and strength of evidence connecting CSXT to the location,
and the number, connection and financial position of other named and unnamed
potentially responsible parties at the location. Further, CSXT periodically
reviews its exposure in all non-Superfund environmental proceedings with which
it is involved.
Based upon such reviews and updates of the sites with which it is
involved, CSXT has recorded, and periodically reviews for adequacy, reserves to
cover estimated contingent future environmental costs with respect to such
sites. Liabilities are recorded for environmental matters in accordance with
CSXT's accounting policy described in Note 1. CSXT does not currently possess
sufficient information to reasonably estimate the amounts of additional
liabilities, if any, on some sites until completion of future environmental
studies. Such additional liabilities could be significant to future
consolidated results of operations and cash flows. Based upon information
currently available, however, CSXT believes that its environmental reserves are
adequate to accomplish remedial actions to comply with present laws and
regulations.
Legal Proceedings
A number of legal actions, other than environmental, are pending
against CSXT in which claims are made in substantial amounts. While the
ultimate results of environmental investigations, lawsuits and claims involving
CSXT cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not currently expect
that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated
financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the company.
In December 1993, a Consent Decree was entered in the U. S. District
Court in Jacksonville, Florida to settle claims of Federal Clean Water Act
violations alleged against CSXT. The Consent Decree resolves a civil
enforcement action initiated in June, 1992, by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency with respect to alleged violations by CSXT of permit discharge
limitations at five rail yard waste water treatment facilities in Florida and
North Carolina. The settlement called for a civil penalty of $3 million, which
has been paid by CSXT, as well as the establishment of an escrow account in the
amount of $4 million to fund certain environmentally beneficial projects.

MANAGEMENT'S NARRATIVE ANALYSIS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
---------------------
CSXT met the challenges of a prolonged U.S. coal strike and sharp
decline in its export coal markets in 1993 by continuing to lower the cost of
its operations while increasing its focus on merchandise markets. Despite a $202
million decline in coal revenue, this dual emphasis allowed CSXT to earn
operating income of $591 million, $95 million below 1992's comparable $686
million. Operating income rose 10% compared with 1991 earnings of $538 million
on a like basis. These comparisons exclude productivity charges of $664 million
and $647 million in 1992 and 1991, respectively, associated with labor
reductions. Including these charges, the rail unit recorded operating income of
$22 million in 1992 and an operating loss of $109 million in 1991.
Transportation operating revenue was $4.38 billion, a 1% decline from
$4.43 billion a year earlier, but a slight increase from 1991's revenue of $4.34
billion. The decrease in 1993 was caused by a 13% decline in coal revenue, the
largest source of CSXT revenue. Coal revenue also was 13% lower than 1991's
level. Total coal originated by CSXT was 144.1 million tons in 1993, 11% and 13%
below levels originated in 1992 and 1991, respectively.

(a) Market share is defined as CSXT carloads vs. carloads handled by all
major Eastern railroads.

Japan, due to lower levels of economic growth, continued foreign government

PAGE 37
subsidies and intensified foreign competition, caused CSXT's export coal
shipments to decline significantly from the prior two years. In addition, both
domestic and export shipments were negatively affected by selective coal strikes
against eastern coal operators, which diminished shipments during nine months of
1993. While CSXT anticipates only a slight recovery in the export coal market,
the company does expect notably higher carloadings of coal to utilities since
the strikes ended in December 1993.
CSXT merchandise volume and revenue jumped 4% and 5% from 1992's
levels and 6% and 10% from 1991's results, respectively, to 2.6 million carloads
and $2.9 billion in revenue. The gains reflected expansion in the domestic
economy and improved conditions in key industries served by CSXT.
With U.S. auto producers enjoying large gains in market share and
increased demand from consumers, CSXT's automotive traffic led the growth in
merchandise carloadings and revenue. CSXT also recorded large gains in metals,
due to surging scrap demand from U.S. mini-mill steel producers. Minerals
traffic advanced due to renewed activity in construction and highway projects.
CSXT's agriculture volumes and revenues moved well beyond prior-year levels,
benefiting from export of 1992's bumper grain crop through late summer 1993 and
continued expansion in the southeastern poultry and feed grain businesses
throughout the year. The strengthening economy and higher level of auto
production contributed to a sizeable increase in chemical traffic.
With foreign demand for U.S.-mined phosphates remaining depressed,
phosphate and fertilizer carloadings declined further. The forest products
market also was off slightly from 1992 and 1991 levels as a result of excess
paper production during 1992.
CSXT anticipates modest improvement in merchandise traffic volume and
revenue for 1994, reflecting continued expansion of the U.S. economy. Also,
while no marked improvement is forecast in export phosphate demand, increased
shipments of fertilizer products to the U.S. Midwest is expected as farmers
replenish fields following last year's flooding.
CSXT transportation operating expense was $3.8 billion, an increase of
1% from comparable 1992 expense and a decline of 1% from 1991 expense, excluding
the previously mentioned productivity charges.
Labor expense continued to decline, to $1.81 billion, from a level of
$1.83 billion and $1.85 billion in 1992 and 1991, respectively, despite the
negative impact of a greater number of crew starts associated with moving a
larger proportion of merchandise traffic. The 1993 expense includes a 3% wage
increase awarded to most contract employees mid-year and also reflects a
decrease in employment levels due to implementation of two-member crews and
continued personnel reductions. A 4% wage increase is scheduled for mid-1994.
CSXT expects to continue to decrease the size of its work force over the next
few years.
CSXT estimated the average size of its train crews for through, local
and yard trains to be 2.7 members at year-end. CSXT plans to lower its average
crew size for all trains to 2.3 over the next few years through implementation
of smaller yard and local crews as contemplated by the 1992 and 1991
productivity charges.

PAGE 38
Materials, supplies and other expense, which includes the cost of
maintenance, information services, management fees from CSX and personal
injuries, increased 4% over 1992 and decreased 1% from 1991 levels. The 1993
increase over 1992 was primarily the result of increased management fees from
CSX, partially offset by CSXT's intensive Performance Improvement Team (PIT)
program and the company's ongoing commitment to safety.
CSXT's PIT process has been responsible for marked reductions in the
expense base of CSXT operations over the past two years and is expected to
contribute additional savings in 1994 and 1995. While shrinking expenses, this
program also has led to significant improvements in reliability, performance and
efficiency. Major strides have been made in locomotive and freight car
maintenance and repair, information technology, contract labor scheduling and
purchasing among other areas of rail activity. Specifically, through PIT
initiatives, CSXT reduced expenses by $147 million and $116 million in 1993 and
1992, respectively. Further savings of over $100 million each year are targeted
for 1994 and 1995.
Fuel expense fell to $253 million from $262 million and $271 million
in 1992 and 1991, respectively. Fuel consumption decreased from levels in
earlier years, reflecting the level of operation and increased fuel efficiency.
In 1993, CSXT locomotives consumed 1.33 gallons of diesel fuel per thousand
gross ton miles, compared with 1.37 gallons in the prior year and 1.4 gallons in
1991. CSXT diesel fuel averaged 64 cents per gallon vs. 65 cents in 1992 and 68
cents in 1991, net of the CSX hedging program.
Building and equipment rent expense increased slightly from earlier
years. Depreciation expense increased slightly from earlier years as new
equipment was purchased and deployed in the business.
With continued effort throughout CSXT to lower its expense base, the
company anticipates only a slight increase in total operating expense for 1994,
assuming modest improvements in traffic levels and no unusual operating
conditions.
Property additions for 1993 totaled $569 million, compared with $539
million and $563 million for the years 1992 and 1991, respectively. Included in
the 1993 total was $323 million for roadway improvements, including 400 miles of
rail that were installed or replaced.
CSXT added a total of 75 new, fuel-efficient locomotives to its fleet
during the year at a cost of $101 million, bringing the total fleet to 2,810
locomotives compared with 2,965 and 3,123 for year-end 1992 and 1991,
respectively. At year-end 1993, the average age of the locomotive fleet was 14.3
years, reflecting the retirement of 230 older units from service.
CSXT's car fleet benefited from $73 million in new capital. Additional
capital was spent on terminals, technology and other equipment.
For 1994, CSXT projects an increase of approximately 10% in its
capital additions program. As in past years, the largest share of the total will
be directed to track and roadway improvements.

CSXT has embarked on a four-year program to acquire 300 locomotives,
with 80 of these to be delivered in 1994. Included will be 50 Dash-9-44CW direct
current (DC) powered and 250 alternating current (AC) locomotives, 197 of these
at 4,400 horsepower and 53 at 6,000 horsepower. The first of the AC units will
be delivered in mid-1994. This new technological breakthrough for the railroad
industry will allow CSXT to replace an average of two units in its existing
fleet with each new unit.
Remaining capital in the 1994 budget has been earmarked for car
acquisitions, technology and a rail-barge venture to transfer freight between
CSXT's rail territory in the southeastern United States and ports along Mexico's
eastern coast.

Financial Condition
Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
Cash provided by operating activities totaled $630 million, a decrease
of $95 million from 1992 and an increase of $105 million from 1991. Cash
provided by operating activities included an increase of $6 million for 1993, an
increase of $200 million for 1992 and a decrease of $75 million for 1991,
relating to the amount of accounts receivable sold. In addition, cash provided
by operating activities included payments for productivity and restructuring
charges of $245 million, $353 million and $72 million for 1993, 1992 and 1991,
respectively. Excluding the effect of the sale of receivables and the
productivity charge payments, cash provided by operating activities would have
been $869 million in 1993, $878 million in 1992 and $672 million in 1991.
Cash used by investing activities was $478 million which was $28
million lower than the $506 million used in 1992 and $83 million higher than the
$395 million used in 1991. Proceeds from the sale of RF&P Corporation stock of
$106 million in 1991 resulted in lower overall uses of cash in 1991 as compared
to 1993 and 1992.
Property additions of $569 million in 1993 increased $30 million from
$539 million in 1992, and $6 million from $563 million in 1991. In the late
1980's, the company launched a major roadway, equipment and locomotive
improvement program. Completion of this program has allowed a return to a
normalized capital budget that assures the required level of routine
maintenance, customer service and safe operation.
Sale-leaseback transactions provided net cash of $37 million in 1991.
These transactions were focused primarily on improving the rail car fleet.
There were no sale-leaseback transactions in 1993 and 1992.
Cash used by financing activities decreased to $128 million in 1993
from $258 million in 1992 and increased from $86 million in 1991. The 1993
decrease in cash used was primarily the result of lower repayments of public and
affiliated company debt.
Cash and cash equivalents increased $24 million during 1993 to a level
of $272 million versus $248 million at the end of 1992 and decreased $15 million
over the 1991 level of $287 million.
Working capital increased by $325 million to a year-end deficit of
$606 million in 1993, compared to $931 million in 1992 and $773 million in 1991.
A working capital deficit is not unusual for CSXT and does not indicate a lack
of liquidity. CSXT maintains adequate current assets to satisfy current
liabilities when they are due and has sufficient financial resource capacity,
primarily from access to advances from CSX, to manage its day-to-day cash
requirements.
Environmental concerns have drawn considerable attention. CSXT, like
many American companies today, faces the challenge of dealing with this issue
and is addressing its environmental responsibilities and managing the related
expenditures. Environmental management is an important part of CSXT's strategic
planning, which includes promotion of policies and procedures that emphasize
environmental awareness throughout the company.
