NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial position of CSX Corporation and subsidiaries (“CSX” or the “Company”) at April 1, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and the Consolidated Income and Cash Flow Statements for the quarters ended April 1, 2005 and March 26, 2004, such adjustments being of a normal recurring nature. Certain prior-year data have been reclassified to conform to the 2005 presentation.

     The Company suggests that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report and Form 10-K.

     CSX follows a 52/53 week fiscal reporting calendar. Fiscal year 2005 consists of 52 weeks ending on December 30, 2005. Fiscal year 2004 consisted of a 53-week year ending on December 31, 2004. The financial statements presented are for the 13-week quarters ended April 1, 2005 and March 26, 2004. In 2004, the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2004, consisted of 14 weeks.

     Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss consists of the following:

     Other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 26, 2004 was $14 million primarily resulting from fuel hedging activities.

     CSX acquires auction rate securities and classifies these investments as available for sale. Accordingly, these investments are included in current assets as Short-term Investments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. On the Consolidated Cash Flow Statements, purchases and sales of these assets are classified as investing activities.

NOTE 2. Earnings Per Share

     The following table sets forth the computation of basic earnings per share and earnings per share, assuming dilution:

     Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Earnings per share, assuming dilution, is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the effect of potentially dilutive common shares from convertible debt and employee stock options and awards.

NOTE 2. Earnings Per Share, Continued

     Certain potentially dilutive common shares at April 1, 2005 and March 26, 2004 were excluded from the computation of earnings per share, assuming dilution, since their related option exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares during the period. The following table indicates information about potentially dilutive common shares excluded from the computation of earnings per share:

     In September 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 04-8, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings Per Share.” The EITF states that contingently convertible debt instruments are subject to the “if-converted” method under SFAS 128, Earnings Per Share, regardless of fulfillment of any of the contingent features included in the instrument. Consequently, CSX is required to include approximately 10 million shares underlying its convertible debt instrument using the “if-converted” method in the computation of earnings per share, assuming dilution. Additionally, earnings per share, assuming dilution, has been restated for all prior periods presented.

     A substantial increase in the fair market value of the Company’s stock price could trigger contingent conditions for conversion and allow holders to convert their debentures into CSX common stock and thus negatively impact basic earnings per share.

NOTE 3. Discontinued Operations

     CSX sold its International Terminals business on February 22, 2005 for closing cash consideration of $1.142 billion, subject to final working capital and long-term debt adjustments that have yet to be determined. Of the gross proceeds, approximately $110 million was paid for the purchase of a minority interest in an International Terminals’ subsidiary, acquired during the first quarter of 2005 and divested as part of the sale to Dubai Ports International FZE. Other related cash transaction costs amounted to approximately $32 million. The Company expects to tender substantial income tax payments attributable to the transaction. The Company is considering various options regarding the use of net cash proceeds including, but not limited to, reduction of debt and other general corporate purposes.

     CSX recognized income of $683 million pretax, $428 million after tax, for the quarter ended April 1, 2005 as a result of the sale. Discontinued Operations for the three months ended April 1, 2005 also includes an after-tax loss on operations of $3 million from the International Terminals business.

     The results of operations and financial position of the Company’s former International Terminals business are reported as Discontinued Operations for all periods presented. Additional information about the sale is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

NOTE 4. Debt and Credit Agreements

     In February 2004, the Company executed a $100 million bank financing that matured February 25, 2005, which bore interest at a rate that varied with LIBOR plus an applicable spread. The Company settled this obligation with cash at maturity.

     In December 2003, CSX executed a $75 million revolving loan facility with a maturity date in 2005. Borrowings under the facility bore interest at a rate that fluctuated with LIBOR. In addition, the Company paid an annual commitment fee of 0.15% for the period the facility was not drawn. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had $75 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding under this borrowing. In January 2005, the Company paid this obligation in full with cash.

     The Company has a $1.2 billion five-year unsecured revolving credit facility expiring in May 2009 and a $400 million 364-day unsecured revolving credit facility expiring in May 2005, which the Company expects to renew for an additional 364-day period. The facilities were entered into in May 2004 on terms substantially similar to the facilities they replaced: a $345 million unsecured revolving credit facility that expired in May 2004 and a $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility that would have expired in May 2006. Generally, these facilities may be used for general corporate purposes, to support the Company’s commercial paper, and for working capital. Neither of the credit facilities was drawn on as of April 1, 2005. Commitment fees and interest rates payable under the facilities are similar to fees and rates available to comparably rated investment-grade borrowers. Similar to the credit facilities they replaced, these credit facilities allow for borrowings at floating (LIBOR-based) rates, plus a spread, depending upon our senior unsecured debt ratings. At April 1, 2005, the Company was in compliance with all covenant requirements under the facilities.

NOTE 5. Divestitures

     In February 2003, CSX conveyed most of its interest in its domestic container-shipping subsidiary, CSX Lines, to a new venture formed with The Carlyle Group. CSX Lines was subsequently renamed Horizon Lines LLC. Horizon subleased vessels and equipment from certain affiliates of CSX covering the primary financial obligations related to $249 million of leases under which CSX or one of its affiliates will remain a lessee / sublessor or guarantor. A deferred pretax gain of approximately $127 million as a result of the transaction is being recognized over the 12-year sublease term. The securities contained a term of 7 years and a preferred return feature. During the third quarter of 2003, CSX received a $15 million payment from Horizon Lines, which included $3 million of interest, in return of a portion of its investment in Horizon.

     In July 2004, Horizon was acquired by an unrelated third party, and CSX received $59 million, which included $48 million for the purchase of its ownership interest in Horizon, $4 million of interest, and a performance payment of $7 million, which will also be recognized over the 12-year sub-lease term. However, CSX and one of its affiliates will continue to remain a lessee / sublessor or guarantor on certain vessels and equipment as long as the subleases remain in effect. (See Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies.)

     CSX sold its International Terminals business on February 22, 2005. (See Note 3. Discontinued Operations.)

NOTE 6. New Accounting Pronouncements

     SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure — an amendment of SFAS 123” was issued in December 2002. SFAS 148 amends SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition to Statement 123’s fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and requires disclosure of the effects of an entity’s accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation. Effective beginning with fiscal year 2003, CSX has voluntarily adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 and adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS 148. In accordance with the prospective method of adoption permitted under SFAS 148, stock-based awards issued subsequent to fiscal year 2002 are accounted for under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 utilizing the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation method and, accordingly, are expensed.

     The Company recognized pretax expense of $1 million and $7 million in fiscal quarters ended April 1, 2005, and March 26, 2004, respectively, for stock options granted in May 2003. Stock compensation expense for the fiscal quarter ended March 26, 2004 includes $5 million pretax recorded in conjunction with the Company’s management restructuring related to recognition of unamortized expense for 2003 stock option awards retained by terminated employees (see Note 16. Management Restructuring). In addition to stock option expense, stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported net income consists of restricted stock awards, stock issued to directors and the Company’s long-term incentive compensation program for all periods presented.

     The following table illustrates the pro forma effect on net earnings and earnings per share as if the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period:

     As discussed below, the Company will comply with SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”, effective January 1, 2006.

NOTE 6. New Accounting Pronouncements, Continued

     On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”, which is a revision of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. Currently, the Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton formula to estimate the value of stock options granted to employees and expects to continue to use this acceptable option valuation model upon the required adoption of SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006. Because SFAS 123(R) must be applied not only to new awards but to previously granted awards that are not fully vested on the effective date, and because the Company adopted SFAS 123 using the prospective transition method (which applied only to awards granted, modified or settled after the adoption date), compensation cost for some previously granted awards that were not recognized under SFAS 123 will be recognized under SFAS 123(R). However, had CSX adopted SFAS 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share above. SFAS 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 123(R) on its consolidated financial statements, but does not expect the impact to be material.

     In 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” which requires a variable interest entity (“VIE”) to be consolidated by a company that is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the VIE’s activities or is entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns, or both. Interpretation No. 46 also requires disclosures about VIEs that a company is not required to consolidate but in which it has a significant variable interest. Also in 2003, Interpretation 46 (“46R”), a revision to FASB Interpretation No. 46, was issued to clarify some of the provisions of, and to exempt certain entities from, Interpretation 46 requirements. Under the rules of the new guidance, CSX consolidated Four Rivers Transportation (“FRT”), a shortline railroad, into its financial statements at the beginning of fiscal year 2004. The adoption of Interpretation No. 46 will not have a material impact on results of operations in future reporting periods. Previously, FRT was accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

NOTE 7. Investment in and Integrated Rail Operations with Conrail

     In August 2004, the ownership of portions of the Conrail Inc. (“Conrail”) system already operated by CSX Transportation, Inc (“CSXT”) and Norfolk Southern Railway Company (“NSR”), were transferred to and therefore directly owned by CSXT and NSR, and the parties consummated an exchange offer of new unsecured securities for unsecured securities of Conrail. Conrail’s secured debt and lease obligations are supported by new leases and subleases which became the direct lease and sublease obligations of CSXT and NSR.

     The Company recorded this transaction at fair value based on the results of an independent valuation. Since September 2004, the impact of the transaction has been included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Income Statements.

     As a result of the transaction, the assets and liabilities transferred to CSXT are reflected in their respective line items in CSX’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

     Additional information about this transaction is included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Accounting and Financial Reporting Effects

     Prior to the spin-off transaction, CSX’s rail and intermodal operating revenue includes revenue from traffic moving on Conrail property. Operating expenses include costs incurred to handle such traffic and operate the Conrail lines. Rail operating expense includes an expense category, “Conrail Rents, Fees and Services,” which reflects:

	1.	Right-of-way usage fees to Conrail through August 2004.
	2.	Equipment rental payments to Conrail through August 2004.
	3.	Transportation, switching, and terminal service charges provided by Conrail in the Shared Assets Areas that Conrail operates for the joint benefit of CSX and NSR.
	4.	Amortization of the fair value write-up arising from the acquisition of Conrail and certain other adjustments.
	5.	CSX’s 42% share of Conrail’s income before the cumulative effect of accounting change recognized under the equity method of accounting.

     Conrail will continue to own, manage, and operate the Shared Assets Areas for the joint benefit of CSXT and NSR. However, the spin-off transaction effectively decreased rents paid to Conrail after the transaction date, as some assets previously leased from Conrail are now owned by CSXT.

NOTE 7. Investment in and Integrated Rail Operations with Conrail, Continued

Transactions with Conrail

     As listed below, CSX has amounts payable to Conrail representing expenses incurred under the operating, equipment and shared area agreements with Conrail.

     On March 31, 2005, CSXT executed a long-term promissory note with a subsidiary of Conrail for $23 million which is included in Long-term Debt in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 1, 2005. The note bears interest at 4.52% and matures on March 31, 2035.

     The agreement under which CSXT operated its allocated portion of the Conrail route system was terminated upon consummation of the spin-off transaction as CSXT then became the direct owner of its allocated portion of the Conrail system. Agreements for subleasing Conrail equipment operated by CSXT cover varying terms. CSXT is responsible for all costs of operating, maintaining, and improving the equipment under these agreements.

NOTE 8. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

     The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for the estimated probable losses on uncollectible accounts and other receivables. The allowance is based upon the credit worthiness of customers, historical experience, the age of the receivable and current market and economic conditions. Uncollectible amounts are charged against the allowance account. The allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained against both current and long-term asset accounts. Allowance for doubtful accounts of $118 million and $95 million is included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of April 1, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

NOTE 11. Derivative Financial Instruments

     CSX uses derivative financial instruments to manage its overall exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and fuel costs.

Interest Rate Swaps

     CSX has entered into various interest rate swap agreements on the following fixed rate notes:

     Under these agreements, the Company will pay variable interest based on LIBOR in exchange for a fixed rate, effectively transforming the notes to floating rate obligations. The interest rate swap agreements are designated and qualify as fair value hedges and the gain or loss on the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the fixed rate note attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in current earnings during the period of change in fair values. Hedge effectiveness is measured at least quarterly based on the relative change in fair value of the derivative contract in comparison with changes over time in the fair value of the fixed rate notes. Any change in fair value resulting from ineffectiveness, as defined by SFAS 133, “Accounting For Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” is recognized immediately in earnings. The Company’s interest rate swaps qualify as perfectly effective fair value hedges, as defined by SFAS 133. As such, there was no ineffective portion to the hedge recognized in earnings during the current or prior year periods. Long-term debt has been increased by $14 million and $26 million for the fair market value of the interest rate swap agreements at April 1, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

     The differential to be paid or received under these agreements is accrued based on the terms of the agreements and is recognized in interest expense over the term of the related debt. The related amounts payable to or receivable from counterparties are included in other current liabilities or assets. Cash flows related to interest rate swap agreements are classified as Operating Activities in the Consolidated Cash Flow Statements. For the quarters ended April 1, 2005 and March 26, 2004, the Company reduced interest expense by approximately $5 million and $13 million, respectively, as a result of the interest rate swap agreements that were in place during each period. Fair value adjustments are non-cash transactions and, accordingly, have no cash impact on the Consolidated Cash Flow Statements.

     The counterparties to the interest rate swap agreements expose the Company to credit loss in the event of non-performance. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties.

NOTE 11. Derivative Financial Instruments, Continued

Fuel Hedging

     In the third quarter of 2003, CSX began a program to hedge a portion of its future locomotive fuel purchases. This program was established to manage exposure to fuel price fluctuations. In order to minimize this risk, CSX has entered into a series of swaps in order to fix the price of a portion of its estimated future fuel purchases.

     Following is a summary of outstanding fuel swaps:

     The program limits fuel hedges to a 24-month duration and a maximum of 80% of CSX’s average monthly fuel purchased for any month within the 24-month period, and places the hedges among selected counterparties. Fuel hedging activity favorably impacted fuel expense for the quarter ended April 1, 2005 by $51 million. There was no material impact on fuel expense for the quarter ended March 26, 2004. Ineffectiveness, or the extent to which changes in the fair values of the fuel swaps did not offset changes in the fair values of the expected fuel purchases, was immaterial.

     These instruments qualify, and are designated by management, as cash-flow hedges of variability in expected future cash flows attributable to fluctuations in fuel prices. The fair values of fuel derivative instruments are determined based upon current fair market values as quoted by third party dealers and are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets with offsetting adjustments to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, a component of Shareholders’ Equity. Amounts are reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss as the underlying fuel that was hedged is consumed by rail operations. Fair value adjustments are non-cash transactions and, accordingly, have no cash impact on the Consolidated Cash Flow Statements. See Note 1. Basis of Presentation, for the impact of fuel hedging activity on Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.

     The Company has temporarily suspended entering into new swaps in its fuel hedge program since the third quarter of 2004. The Company will continue to monitor and assess the current issues facing the global fuel market place to decide when to resume hedging under the program.

     The counterparties to the fuel hedge agreements expose the Company to credit loss in the event of non-performance. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties.

NOTE 12. Casualty, Environmental and Other Reserves

     Casualty, environmental and other reserves are provided for in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:

Casualty Reserves

     Casualty reserves represent accruals for the uninsured portion of personal injury and occupational injury claims.

Personal Injury

     CSX retains an independent actuarial firm to assist management in assessing the value of CSX’s personal injury portfolio. An analysis is performed by the independent actuarial firm semi-annually. The methodology used by the actuary includes a development factor to reflect growth in the value of the Company’s personal injury claims. This methodology is based largely on CSX’s historical claims and settlement activity. Actual results may vary from estimates due to the type and severity of the injury, costs of medical treatments, and uncertainties surrounding the litigation process. Reserves for personal injury claims are $388 million and $383 million at April 1, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

     While the final outcome of casualty-related matters cannot be predicted with certainty, considering among other things the meritorious legal defenses available and liabilities that have been recorded, it is the opinion of CSX management that none of these items, when finally resolved, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or liquidity. However, should a number of these items occur in the same period, it could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations in a particular quarter or fiscal year.

Occupational

     Occupational claims include allegations of exposure to certain materials in the work place, such as asbestos, solvents, and diesel fuel, or alleged physical injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome or hearing loss.

     The Company is party to a number of occupational claims by employees exposed to asbestos in the workplace. The heaviest exposure for CSX employees was due to work conducted in and around the use of steam locomotive engines that were phased out between the early 1950’s and late 1960’s. However, other types of exposures, including exposure from locomotive component parts and building materials, continued after 1967, until it was substantially eliminated by 1985.

CSX CORPORATION

NOTE 12. Casualty, Environmental and Other Reserves, Continued

     Asbestos and other occupational claim filings against the Company have been inconsistent. Accordingly, while the Company had concluded that a probable loss had occurred, it did not believe it could estimate the range of reasonably possible loss because of the lack of experience with such claims and the lack of detailed employment records for the population of exposed employees. Claim filings increased and when they continued into 2003, the Company concluded that an estimate for incurred but not reported asbestos exposure liability needed to be recorded.

     CSX engaged a third party, who has extensive experience in performing asbestos and other occupational studies, to assist in assessing the unasserted liability exposure. The analysis is performed by the specialist semi-annually. The objective of the analysis is to determine the number of estimated incurred but not reported claims and the estimated average cost per claim to be received over the next seven years. Seven years was determined by management to be the time period in which claim filings and claim values could be estimated with more certainty.

     The methodology used by the specialists includes an estimate of future anticipated claims based on the Company’s average historical claim filing rates, future anticipated dismissal rates and settlement rates. CSX’s future liability for incurred but not reported claims is estimated by multiplying the future anticipated claims by the average settlement values.

     A summary of existing asbestos and other occupational claims activity is as follows:

     The amounts recorded by CSX for the occupational liabilities are based upon currently known facts. Projecting future events, such as the number of new claims to be filed each year, the average cost of disposing of claims, as well as the numerous uncertainties surrounding asbestos and other occupational litigation in the United States, could cause the actual costs to be higher or lower than projected.

     Reserves for asbestos related claims are $205 million and $212 million at April 1, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Reserves for other occupational related claims are $108 million and $110 million at April 1, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

NOTE 12. Casualty, Environmental and Other Reserves, Continued

Environmental Reserves

     CSX is a party to various proceedings, including administrative and judicial proceedings, involving private parties and regulatory agencies related to environmental issues. CSX has been identified as a PRP at approximately 251 environmentally impaired sites, many of which are, or may be, subject to remedial action under the Superfund or similar state statutes. A number of these proceedings are based on allegations that CSX, or its railroad predecessors, sent hazardous substances to the facilities in question for disposal.

     In addition, some of CSX’s land holdings are and have been used for industrial or transportation-related purposes or leased to commercial or industrial companies whose activities may have resulted in releases onto the property. Therefore, CSX is subject to environmental cleanup and enforcement actions including under the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), also known as the Superfund law, as well as similar state laws that may impose joint and several liability for cleanup and enforcement costs on current and former owners and operators of a site without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, which could be substantial. In the fourth quarter of 2004, CSX added $6 million of Conrail environmental claims, due to the Conrail spin-off transaction.

     At least once a quarter, CSX reviews its role with respect to each site identified. Based on the review process, CSX has recorded reserves to cover estimated contingent future environmental costs with respect to such sites. Environmental costs are charged to expense when they relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and do not contribute to current or future revenue generation. The recorded liabilities for estimated future environmental costs at April 1, 2005 and December 31, 2004 were $60 million and $59 million, respectively. These liabilities, which are undiscounted, include amounts representing CSX’s estimate of unasserted claims, which CSX believes to be immaterial. The liability includes future costs for all sites where the Company’s obligation is (1) deemed probable and (2) where such costs can be reasonably estimated. The liability includes future costs for remediation and restoration of sites as well as any significant ongoing monitoring costs, but excludes any anticipated insurance recoveries.

     The Company 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. In addition, latent conditions at any given location could result in exposure, the amount and materiality of which cannot presently be reliably estimated. Based upon information currently available, however, the Company believes its environmental reserves are adequate to accomplish remedial actions to comply with present laws and regulations, and that the ultimate liability for these matters, if any, will not materially affect its overall results of operations and financial condition.

Separation Liability

     Separation liabilities at April 1, 2005 and December 31, 2004 provide for the estimated costs of implementing workforce reductions, improvements in productivity and other cost reductions at the Company’s major transportation units since 1991. These liabilities are expected to be paid out over the next 15 to 20 years through general corporate funds.

NOTE 13. Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Commitments

     The Company has a commitment under a long-term maintenance program for approximately 40% of CSX’s fleet of locomotives. The agreement expires in 2026 and approximates $5.8 billion. The long-term maintenance program is intended to provide CSX access to efficient, high-quality locomotive maintenance services at fixed price levels through the term of the program. Under the program, CSX paid $41 million and $37 million for the quarters ending April 1, 2005 and March 26, 2004, respectively.

     The Company has various commitments to purchase technology and communications services. The terms for the various agreements call for CSX to pay $36 million, $29 million and $26 million for the fiscal years ending 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively. The largest obligation is for purchased communications services of $24 million per year for the years 2005 through 2007.

STB Proceeding

     In 2001 Duke Energy Corporation (“Duke”) filed a complaint before the STB alleging that certain CSX common carrier coal rates were unreasonably high. In February 2004, the STB issued a decision finding that the CSX common carrier rates were reasonable. While approving the rate levels, the STB also invited Duke to request a phase-in of rate increases over some time period. The nature and amount of any such phase-in is uncertain, and would only apply to billings subsequent to December 2001. In October 2004, the STB issued a decision denying Duke’s petition for reconsideration of its February 2004 ruling. In November 2004, Duke advised the STB that it would request phase-in relief, and filed a Petition for Review of the STB’s decisions in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. CSX will continue to consider and pursue all available legal defenses in this matter. Administrative proceedings and legal appeals could take several years to resolve. A favorable outcome could result in gain realization in amounts that could be material to results of operations in the quarters received.

Self-Insurance

     The Company uses a combination of third-party and self-insurance, obtaining substantial amounts of commercial insurance for potential losses for third-party liability and property damages. Specified levels of risk (up to $35 million for property and $25 million for liability per occurrence) are retained on a self-insurance basis.

NOTE 13. Commitments and Contingencies, Continued

Guarantees

     The Company and its subsidiaries are contingently liable individually and jointly with others as guarantors of obligations principally relating to leased equipment, joint ventures and joint facilities used by the Company in its business operations. Utilizing the Company’s guarantee for these obligations allows the obligor to take advantage of lower interest rates and obtain other favorable terms. Guarantees are contingent commitments issued by the Company that could require CSX or one of its affiliates to make payment to or to perform certain actions for the guaranteed party based on another entity’s failure to perform. As of April 1, 2005, the Company’s guarantees can be segregated into two main categories:

	1.	Guarantees of approximately $314 million of lease commitments assumed by A.P. Moller-Maersk (“Maersk”) for which the Company is contingently liable. CSX believes Maersk will fulfill its contractual commitments with respect to such leases, and CSX will have no further liabilities for those obligations.
	2.	Guarantees of approximately $249 million relating to leases assumed as part of CSX’s conveyance of its interest in CSX Lines in February 2003, as discussed in Note 5. Divestitures.

     Upon consummation of the sale of the International Terminals business in the first quarter of 2005, the Company was no longer liable for the guarantees related to construction and cash deficiency support at several of the Company’s international terminals locations under development.

     The maximum amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these guarantees is the amount of the guarantees themselves.

Other Legal Proceedings

     CSX is involved in routine litigation incidental to its business and is a party to a number of legal actions and claims, various governmental proceedings and private civil lawsuits, including those related to environmental matters, Federal Employers’ Liability Act claims by employees, other personal injury claims, and disputes and complaints involving certain transportation rates and charges. Some of the legal proceedings include claims for compensatory as well as punitive damages, and others purport to be class actions. While the final outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, considering among other things, the meritorious legal defenses available and liabilities that have been recorded along with applicable insurance, it is the opinion of CSX management that none of these items will have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial position or liquidity of CSX. However, an unexpected adverse resolution of one or more of these items could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations in a particular quarter or fiscal year. The Company is also party to a number of actions, the resolution of which could result in gain realization in amounts that could be material to results of operations in the quarters received.

NOTE 14. Business Segments

     The Company operates in two business segments: rail and intermodal. The rail segment provides rail freight transportation over a network of more than 22,000 route miles in 23 states, the District of Columbia and two Canadian provinces. The intermodal segment provides integrated rail and truck transportation services and operates a network of dedicated intermodal facilities across North America. The Company’s segments are strategic business units that offer different services and are managed separately. The rail and intermodal segments are also viewed on a combined basis as Surface Transportation operations.

     The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is business segment operating income. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies (Note 1) in the CSX 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Intersegment sales and transfers are generally accounted for as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, at current market prices.

     The International Terminals business segment has been reclassified to Discontinued Operations. (See Note 3. Discontinued Operations.)

     Business segment information for the quarters ended April 1, 2005 and March 26, 2004 is as follows:

NOTE 15. Employee Benefit Plans

     The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans, principally for salaried, non-contract personnel. The plans provide eligible employees with retirement benefits based predominantly on years of service and compensation rates near retirement.

     In addition to the defined benefit pension plans, the Company sponsors one medical plan and one life insurance plan that provide benefits to full-time, salaried, non-contract employees hired prior to January 1, 2003, upon their retirement if certain eligibility requirements are met. The postretirement medical plans are contributory (partially funded by retirees), with retiree contributions adjusted annually. The life insurance plan is non-contributory.

     The following table presents components of net periodic benefit cost:

     The Company expects to contribute $2 million to its pension plan in 2005.

     Due to the termination of employees under the management restructuring plan (see Note 16. Management Restructuring), a curtailment occurred in the Company’s defined benefit pension plans and postretirement medical plan. The estimated cost of the curtailments of $21 million was included in the management restructuring charge for the quarter ended March 26, 2004.

NOTE 16. Management Restructuring

     During 2004, Surface Transportation incurred restructuring charges related to the November 2003 management restructuring plan to streamline the structure, eliminate organizational layers and realign certain functions. For the quarter ended March 26, 2004, the Company recorded expense of $53 million for separation expense, pension and post-retirement benefit curtailment charges, stock compensation expense and other related expenses.
