</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;10 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act allows, in general, for indemnification, in
certain circumstances, by a corporation of any person threatened with or made a party to any
action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is, or was, a director, officer,
employee or agent of such corporation. Indemnification is also authorized with respect to a
criminal action or proceeding where the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her
conduct was unlawful. Article&nbsp;9 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act provides limitations on
damages payable by officers and directors, except in cases of willful misconduct or knowing
violation of criminal law or any federal or state securities law.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;VII of CSX&#146;s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provides for mandatory
indemnification of any director or officer of CSX who is, was or is threatened to be made a party
to any proceeding (including any proceeding by or on behalf of CSX) by reason of the fact that he
or she is or was a director or officer of CSX against all liabilities and reasonable expenses
incurred in the proceeding, except such liabilities and expenses as are incurred because of such
director&#146;s or officer&#146;s willful misconduct or knowing violation of the criminal law.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CSX&#146;s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation also provide that in every instance
permitted under Virginia corporate law in effect from time to time, the liability of a director or
officer of CSX to CSX or our shareholders arising out of a single transaction, occurrence or course
of conduct will be limited to one dollar. CSX maintains a standard policy of officers&#146; and
directors&#146; liability insurance.

in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
(if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in
the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)
if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20&nbsp;percent change in
the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in

permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Article 10 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act allows, in general, for indemnification, in
certain circumstances, by a corporation of any person threatened with or made a party to any
action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is, or was, a director, officer,
employee or agent of such corporation. Indemnification is also authorized with respect to a
criminal action or proceeding where the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her
conduct was unlawful. Article 9 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act provides limitations on
damages payable by officers and directors, except in cases of willful misconduct or knowing
violation of criminal law or any federal or state securities law.
Article VII of CSX's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provides for mandatory
indemnification of any director or officer of CSX who is, was or is threatened to be made a party
to any proceeding (including any proceeding by or on behalf of CSX) by reason of the fact that he
or she is or was a director or officer of CSX against all liabilities and reasonable expenses
incurred in the proceeding, except such liabilities and expenses as are incurred because of such
director's or officer's willful misconduct or knowing violation of the criminal law.
CSX's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation also provide that in every instance
permitted under Virginia corporate law in effect from time to time, the liability of a director or
officer of CSX to CSX or our shareholders arising out of a single transaction, occurrence or course
of conduct will be limited to one dollar. CSX maintains a standard policy of officers' and
directors' liability insurance.
Item 7. Exemption for Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
The exhibits to this Registration Statement are described in the Exhibit Index below.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the
registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
(if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in
the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)
if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in
the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in
the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in
the registration statement;
provided, however
, that:
Paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in
a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to
the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.

Table of Contents
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of its annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona
fide
offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
