TRANSPLEX 2007Freight Demand and Planning in FloridaJuly 12, 2007
Overview • Global Transportation Environment • CSX Network Strategy • Public Private Partnerships
Global Supply Chain – Key Drivers for Change • Constrained Infrastructure and Capacity • Evolving Security Requirements • Environmental Issues • Increasing Complexity
Constrained Capacity • Capacity is constrained globally • Highway capacity has not kept pace with transportation demand • West coast ports experience congestion • Rail ton miles have increased while the rail network has shrunk • Existing and anticipated choke points present significant opportunities for rail growth
Heightened Security Concerns • Security focus on transportation is increasing • New security measures could require significant capital investments • New guidelines for security of TIH rail shipments • Recent federal government appropriations included $1.2 billion for rail security
Environmental Focus on Transportation • New air emissions regulations target rail and ports • New emissions controls can increase fuel costs • NIMBY concerns with capacity expansions • …But, rail has significant advantages in fuel efficiency and environmental impact
Capacity and Demand • Legacy rail system built for Northeast manufacturing and population base • Increasing imports and population shifts drive rail growth along different corridors • Highway congestion and trucking challenges heighten need for rail • Capacity constraints require new infrastructure investment to keep pace • AASHTO report highlights need for increased rail capacity

Public Private Partnerships • CSX is responding to calls for expanded passenger rail in the cities we serve • Meeting the public demand for passenger rail requires expanded capacity • I-95 “Corridor of the Future” requires integrated freight and passenger expansion strategy
In Focus – FloridaCentral Florida Commuter Rail • CSXT operates two main lines in central Florida • A-Line through Orlando • S-Line through Ocala • Orlando commuter project would use A-Line tracks • Freight would shift to S-Line
In May 2007, CSX submitted it’s Southeast I-95 Corridor as a candidate for the Corridor of the Future • CSX’s Vision is a corridor that will enable both passenger and freight trains to: • Travel faster • With greater safety • With reliability and recoverability • As well as allowing for increased freight and passenger train volumes • Significant infrastructure investments will be required to make this vision a reality
