Csx Corporation and Canadian Pacific Kansas City Upgrade Southeast Mexico Express with Dedicated Train and Faster Transit Times CSX Corporation and Canadian Pacific Kansas City announced upgrades to the Southeast Mexico Express premium service featuring faster transit times with more origin and destination options for customers looking to reach new markets. The new Southeast Mexico Express premium service schedule and routing options launched May 4, 2026, offer industry-best, truck-competitive transit times between southeastern markets such as Atlanta, Charlotte or central Florida, and markets in Texas and Mexico, including Dallas and Monterrey. The service improvements have reduced transit times for every previously available Southeast Mexico Express option. These reductions range from approximately one-day-faster service between Atlanta and Dallas, and approximately 2.5 days faster between Atlanta and central Mexico. Southeast Mexico Express improvements are the result of capital investments in track, bridges and signal infrastructure on the former Meridian & Bigbee Railroad and continued investments across the corridor in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas offering greater speeds and more efficiency. The new Southeast Mexico Express dedicated train service provides two-day service between Atlanta and Dallas, with three-day service from Monterrey and four-day service from central Mexico to Atlanta. Customers can extend their reach with new Southeast Mexico Express origins and destinations in Charlotte, Jacksonville and Central Florida. Southeast Mexico Express gives intermodal, automotive and carload customers truck-competitive transit times, greater capacity, and environmentally sustainable rail solutions. Advantages of Southeast Mexico Express include: Direct connectivity: Links to Mexico, Texas and U.S. Southeast. Market access: Expanded connectivity to diverse origin points across North America. Faster transit times: Improved time and cost efficiency supported by infrastructure upgrades. Secure transportation: Advanced technology expedites border crossings while enhancing shipment security. Environmental sustainability: Replaces up to 300 semi-trucks per train, reducing emissions. The combined strength of CSX Corporation and Canadian Pacific Kansas City through Southeast Mexico Express continues to meet evolving customer demands and set new standards in North American freight.

CSX Railroad's Merger Prospects Derail as BNSF and CPKC Make Clear They Aren't Interested in A Deal The prospects for additional consolidation in the rail industry derailed this week when both of CSX (CSX Corporation (NasdaqGS:CSX))'s potential partners said they weren't interested in a deal. Investors widely speculated that CSX would be an acquisition target once rumors of merger talks between Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern emerged over the summer, because of the challenge of competing against a nationwide railroad. CSX's stock nearly hit a new 52-week high last week at $37.25 before falling to $32.31 26 August 2025 after it became clear that neither BNSF (BNSF Railway Company) nor Canadian Pacific Kansas City Limited (TSX:CP) railroads is pursuing the Jacksonville, Florida-based railroad, one of the six remaining major freight railroads in North America. The Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern deal still faces a lengthy review by the U.S. Surface Transportation Board that is likely to stretch on for at least two years. When Canadian Pacific acquired Kansas City Southern two years ago in the first major rail merger in more than two decades the board also spent two years reviewing that deal. If the $85 billion megamerger of Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern does get approved that might change the calculus about whether a deal makes sense. But in the meantime, CSX and the other major freight railroads seem focused on finding ways to cooperate more to improve service without merging. Just last week, CSX and BNSF announced an agreement to deliver some shipments seamlessly coast-to-coast without handing them off. Last month, CPKC and CSX announced a similar agreement to streamline shipments between Mexico, Texas and the Southeast. CPKC CEO Keith Creel said he thinks the industry should be more focused on agreements like that and efforts to improve service on each individual railroad. “We believe that a transcontinental merger would trigger permanent restructuring of the industry and result in a disproportionately large railway whose size and scope would require others to take action,” Creel said. “This will likely result in an unnecessary wave of railway mergers that today is not the best way to support American businesses nor the public interest, and has the potential to create more issues than it solves.” Indeed, the STB adopted a high standard for rail mergers in 2001 after a series of prolonged disruptions and delayed shipments that followed major deals in the 1990s. A merger between Union Pacific and Southern Pacific in 1996 led to an extended period of snarled traffic on U.S. rails. Three years later, Conrail was divvied up by Norfolk Southern and CSX, creating serious backups in the East. On 25 August 2025, Warren Buffett, whose Berkshire Hathaway conglomerate owns BNSF, said to CNBC that he's not interested in buying another railroad even though he's sitting on more than $344 billion in cash after several years without completing a major acquisition. Buffett and the man who will take over as Berkshire CEO in January, Greg Abel, did recently meet with CSX CEO Joe Hinrichs to discuss more ways to cooperate while making it clear that Berkshire won't be bidding on CSX.

Ancora Holdings Group Sends Letter to the Board of Directors of CSX Corporation On August 19, 2025, Ancora Holdings Group, LLC disclosed a letter sent to the Board of Directors of CSX Corporation on August 6, 2025. Since sending this letter via private channels, the Company has ignored us and not even confirmed receipt of its correspondence. The Company stated that as this occurred, trusted sources informed Ancora Holdings that the Company’s advisors appeared to be breaching their ethical obligations by talking to members of the media – without attribution – about Ancora Holdings and what was intended to be a private letter. Perhaps this should not be surprised given that the Company’s reported investment bank remains undisclosed, even though the bank has been marketing its representation of CSX in pitch decks disseminated as recently as this week. All of this leads to fear that the Company’s Board is exhibiting poor judgment, insufficient oversight and undermining shareholders’ best interests. Ancora Holdings stated that it asserts the Board should immediately announce the formal retention of an investment bank and plan to vigorously explore mergers as rail consolidation persists. Ancora Holdings also expressed its view that the Company should be conducting ongoing conversations with BNSF Railway Company and Canadian Pacific Kansas City Limited. Ancora Holdings also stated that it notes the Company’s current standalone future is bleak based on Anemic TSR, excessive spending, poor recruitment and the deterioration of operations. Ancora Holdings urges the Board to terminate Joe Hinrichs, if a merger cannot be consummated in a timely manner. Aankondiging • Aug 01
CSX Reportedly to Work with Goldman Sachs to Explore Options CSX Corporation (NasdaqGS:CSX) is working with Goldman Sachs Group Inc., people familiar with the matter said, as the company explores options to participate in rail consolidation after two major rivals announced a merger. The Jacksonville, Florida-based freight operator has spoken with the Wall Street bank about the merits of a merger, according to the people, who asked not to be identified discussing confidential information. Considerations may not lead to any transaction, the people said. Representatives for CSX and Goldman Sachs declined to comment. The talks come as US railroad operators move toward a period of potential consolidation, led by Union Pacific Corp.’s $72 billion acquisition of Norfolk Southern Corp. The planned tie-up, announced this week, piles pressure on rivals including CSX and Berkshire Hathaway Inc.’s BNSF to pursue deals of their own in order to stay competitive. CSX Chief Executive Officer Joe Hinrichs said this month that he’s open to merger talks with other companies. CSX’s network spans roughly 20,000 route miles of track in 26 states, the District of Columbia and the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Reported Earnings • Jul 24

CSX Unveils its First Hydrogen-Powered Locomotive in Collaboration with CPKC CSX has unveiled its first hydrogen-powered locomotive, marking a significant milestone in sustainable freight transportation. This pioneering achievement is the result of a successful partnership between CSX and Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) and demonstrates the company’s commitment to innovation and environmental stewardship. The hydrogen locomotive was converted from an existing diesel locomotive using a hydrogen conversion kit developed by CKPC. The transformation took place at the CSX locomotive shop in Huntington, W.Va. Converting an existing unit into a next-generation locomotive further extends the useful life of the asset. The conversion team reused several components, including the frame, cab, traction motors, and trucks. This groundbreaking locomotive makes its debut less than 12 months after the collaboration between CSX and CPKC was announced in the summer of 2023. Hydrogen presents a promising alternative to fossil fuels, offering greater efficiency and zero emissions. Unlike traditional diesel engines, hydrogen-powered locomotives emit only water vapor, contributing to cleaner air and environment. As the next step, CSX will deploy the new hydrogen-powered locomotive for field testing and further evaluate its performance and operational feasibility. This initiative marks a significant stride forward in CSX's ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability. Aankondiging • Mar 28
