This presentation discusses CSX Corporation's performance and outlook. It notes that CSX has created significant shareholder value in recent years. The company is targeting double-digit growth through 2010 by executing on its strategy and continuous improvement. While the economy is moderating, the rail renaissance environment remains strong due to tight transportation capacity and pricing power. CSX is making infrastructure investments to leverage long-term growth in intermodal volumes driven by increasing port traffic. The company's capital philosophy focuses on productivity to support its goal of long-term value creation.
