Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(All Tables in Millions of Dollars, Except Per Share Amounts)
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the company's
financial position as of July 1, 1994, and December 31, 1993, and the results
of operations for the quarters and six months ended July 1, 1994 and June 30,
1993, and its cash flows for the six months ended July 1, 1994 and June 30,
1993, such adjustments being of a normal recurring nature.
Earnings per share are based on the weighted average of common shares
outstanding for the second quarter and six months ended July 1, 1994 and June
30, 1993. Dilution for the quarters and six months ended July 1, 1994 and
June 30, 1993, which could result if all outstanding common stock equivalents
were exercised, is not significant.
While the company believes that the disclosures presented are
adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these
financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
the notes included in the company's latest Annual Report and Form 10-K.
Certain prior-year data have been reclassified to conform to the 1994
presentation.
NOTE 2. CHANGE IN FISCAL REPORTING PERIODS
Effective January 1, 1994, the company changed its fiscal reporting
periods from four calendar quarters to four 13-week quarters. Fiscal 1994
began on January 1, 1994, and will include 52 weeks. The four 13-week
quarters will end on April 1, July 1, September 30 and December 30, 1994.
NOTE 3. ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING CHANGES
Effective January 1, 1994, the company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Post-
employment Benefits." SFAS No. 112 requires that certain benefits provided to
former or inactive employees, after employment but before retirement, such as
workers' compensation and disability benefits, be accrued if attributable to
employees' service already rendered. The financial statement impact of
adopting SFAS No. 112 was not significant.
Effective January 1, 1994, the company adopted SFAS No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." SFAS No.
115 requires that investments that have readily determinable fair values be
classified as "held-to-maturity," "trading," or "available-for-sale"
securities. Investments in debt securities have been classified as "held-to-
maturity," or "available-for-sale," and reported at amortized cost, which
approximates fair value, in the consolidated statement of financial position.
The financial statement impact of adopting SFAS No. 115 was not significant.

NOTE 4. RESTRUCTURING CHARGE
The company recorded a $93 million pretax charge in the first quarter
of 1993 to recognize the estimated costs of restructuring certain operations
and functions at its container-shipping unit. The restructuring charge
reduced net earnings for the first six months of 1993 by $61 million, 59 cents
per share. As of July 1, 1994, payments totaling $49 million have been
recorded as a reduction of the liability for the restructuring charge.
NOTE 5. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
During 1993, the company issued $200 million of Trade Receivable
Participation Certificates ("Certificates"), at 5.05%, due September 1998.
The Certificates are collateralized by $234 million of accounts receivable
held in a master trust. The proceeds from the issuance of the Certificates
were used to reduce the amount of accounts receivable sold under a previous
agreement.
In addition, the company has a five-year revolving agreement with a
financial institution to sell with recourse on a monthly basis an undivided
percentage ownership interest in designated pools of accounts receivable up to
a maximum of $200 million. CSX has retained the collection and servicing
responsibility with respect to accounts receivable held in trust or sold.
At July 1, 1994 and December 31, 1993, accounts receivable have been
reduced by $372 million and $380 million, respectively, representing
Certificates and accounts receivable sold.

NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Sea-Land Service, Inc. ("Sea-Land"), the container-shipping unit of
CSX, has entered into agreements for the construction of four high-
performance, fuel-efficient container vessels and the modification of three
Atlantic Class vessels in its current fleet. Estimated capital expenditures
for the total program are approximately $250 million over the next three
years.
Although the company obtains substantial amounts of commercial
insurance for potential losses for third-party liability and property damage,
reasonable levels of risk are retained on a self-insurance basis. A
substantial portion of the insurance coverage, up to $250 million from rail
operations and up to $175 million from certain other operations, is provided
by insurance companies owned or partially owned by CSX.

NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, Continued
CSX Transportation, Inc. ("CSXT") is a party to various proceedings
brought both by private parties and regulatory agencies related to
environmental issues. CSXT has been identified as a potentially responsible
party in a number of governmental investigations and actions relating to
environmentally impaired sites that are or may be subject to remedial action
under the Federal Superfund Statute ("Superfund") or corresponding state
statutes. The majority of these proceedings are based on allegations that
CSXT, or its railroad predecessors, sent hazardous substances to the
facilities in question for disposal. Such proceedings arising under Superfund
typically involve numerous other waste generators and disposal companies and
seek to allocate or recover costs associated with site investigation and
cleanup, which could be substantial.
The assessment of the required response and remedial costs associated
with these sites is extremely complex. Among the variables that management
must assess are imprecise and changing remedial cost estimates and continually
evolving governmental standards.
CSXT frequently reviews its role, if any, with respect to each such
location, giving consideration to the nature of CSXT's alleged connection to
the location (e.g., generator, owner or operator), the extent of CSXT's
alleged connection (e.g., volume of waste sent to the location and other
relevant factors), the accuracy and strength of evidence connecting CSXT to
the location, and the number, connection and financial position of other named
and unnamed potentially responsible parties at the location. Further, CSXT
periodically reviews its exposure in all non-Superfund environmental
proceedings with which it is involved.
Based upon such reviews and updates of the sites with which it is
involved, CSXT has recorded, and periodically reviews for adequacy, reserves
to cover estimated contingent future environmental costs with respect to such
sites. Liabilities are recorded when the company's responsibility for
environmental remedial efforts is deemed probable, and the costs can be
reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with
the completion of a feasibility study or the company's commitment to a formal
plan of action. 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. Such additional
liabilities could be significant to future consolidated results of operations
and cash flows. Based upon information currently available, however, the
company believes that its environmental reserves are adequate to accomplish
remedial actions to comply with present laws and regulations.
A number of legal actions, other than environmental, are pending
against CSX and certain subsidiaries in which claims are made in substantial
amounts. While the ultimate results of environmental investigations, lawsuits
and claims involving the company cannot be predicted with certainty,
management does not currently expect that these matters will have a material
adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations
and cash flows of the company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Second-Quarter 1994 Compared With 1993
- --------------------------------------
The company reported net earnings for the second quarter ended July
1, 1994, of $162 million, $1.55 per share, versus $154 million, $1.48 per
share for the second quarter ended June 30, 1993.
Operating revenue for the second quarter of 1994 was $2.4 billion, 5
percent above the prior-year quarter of $2.3 billion. Operating expense was
$2.1 billion for the second quarter of 1994, compared with $2 billion for the
second quarter of 1993. Operating income for the second quarter of 1994 was
$304 million versus $278 million in the second quarter of 1993.
Rail Unit Results
- -----------------
Operating income at the rail unit rose $47 million or 22 percent, to
$261 million for the second quarter of 1994, from $214 million in the prior-
year quarter. The results were driven by a 5 percent increase in revenue and
continued commitment to cost-cutting programs.
For the second quarter of 1994, merchandise traffic grew 7 percent,
with gains in metals, minerals, autos, and food and consumer products. Rail
revenue, at $1.2 billion for the second quarter of 1994, rose $54 million, or
5 percent, from the prior-year quarter.
Domestic coal demand offset continued weakness in export coal to
raise volume to 38.6 million tons, 2 percent above 1993's second quarter
level. Coal shipments to utility, industrial and cogeneration users increased
to 35.4 million tons in the second quarter of 1994, up from 33.3 million tons
in the second quarter of 1993. Export coal totaled 3.2 million tons for the
second quarter of 1994, compared with 4.4 million tons in the prior-year
quarter. The decline in export coal was due to decreased foreign demand, more
attractive domestic markets and increased foreign competition.
Rail operating expense was $914 million in the second quarter of 1994
compared with $907 million in the second quarter of 1993. Despite higher
traffic levels, rail operating expense was held nearly flat at $914 million,
just $7 million, or less than 1 percent, over the expense level in the prior-
year quarter. Labor and fringe benefit expense increased about 2 percent due
to the greater number of train crews required to handle the higher traffic as
well as a modest wage increase mandated by the Presidential Emergency Board
No. 219.

Container Shipping Unit Results
- -------------------------------
CSX's container-shipping unit regained momentum late in the second
quarter of 1994 to generate $15 million in operating income despite the three-
week nationwide Teamsters' strike in April, which closed Sea-Land's West Coast
operations and disrupted shipments to and from Alaska, Hawaii and Asia.
Operating revenue for the second quarter of 1994 was $826 million,
compared with $815 million in the 1993 second quarter, as the volume of
containers handled rose 2 percent to 309,000 loads. Surging traffic in the
Asia/Middle East/Europe and Latin America trade lanes, coupled with the unit's
success in regaining customers' shipments in the Pacific markets after the
strike, drove the increased volume and revenue.
Container-shipping operating expense rose to $811 million for the
second quarter of 1994, an increase of $50 million from the 1993 second
quarter as a result of handling increased volume, rerouting containers and
ships during the work stoppage, and repositioning equipment for normal
operations.
Intermodal Unit Results
- -----------------------
Intermodal operating income climbed 33 percent to $16 million in the
second quarter of 1994 from 1993's second-quarter level of $12 million on a 19
percent rise in operating revenue. The unit experienced double-digit growth

- ----------------------------------
across all types of traffic, including shipments from international ocean
carriers, truck partners and direct shippers. Traffic increased to 321,000
loads in the second quarter of 1994, 17 percent above 1993's second quarter.
Barge Unit Results
- ------------------
The barge unit capitalized on strong northbound back-haul shipments
of steel and bulk commodities to temper the impact of a weak export grain
market in the second quarter of 1994. These actions, coupled with ongoing
cost-control efforts, resulted in barge operating income in the second quarter
of 1994 of $11 million, slightly below the results of $12 million in 1993's
second quarter.
Other Income
- ------------
Other income declined to $18 million in the second quarter of 1994
from the 1993 second-quarter level of $30 million, primarily the result of a
one-time gain on the sale of a real estate partnership interest in the 1993
period.
First Six Months 1994 Compared to 1993
- --------------------------------------
For the first six months ended July 1, 1994, the company reported net
earnings of $236 million, $2.26 per share versus $145 million, $1.39 per share
for the six months ended June 30, 1993. The six months results for 1993
included a pretax charge of $93 million, $61 million after tax, 59 cents per
share, which solely related to the restructuring of certain operations and
functions at Sea-Land Service Inc., CSX's wholly-owned container-shipping
subsidiary. Excluding the after-tax restructuring charge, earnings for the
first six months of 1993 would have been $206 million, $1.98 per share.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $478
million at July 1, 1994, a decrease of $21 million since December 31, 1993.
Primary uses of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were
property additions, repayment of long-term debt, payment of dividends and
payments relating to productivity/restructuring charge liabilities. Primary
sources of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were operations,
issuance of short-term debt and a net decrease in short-term investments.
- 12 -
PAGE 13
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION, CONTINUED
FINANCIAL CONDITION, Continued
- ------------------------------
During the first six months of 1994, net investing activities
consumed $252 million of cash and cash equivalents compared with $393 million
consumed in the first six months of 1993. The changes in investing activities
were primarily due to an increase in cash proceeds from net short-term
investment activity and a lower level of purchases of long-term marketable
securities compared to the six months ended June 30, 1993.
Financing activities used $108 million of cash and cash equivalents
for the six months ended July 1, 1994. This was a $172 million decrease from
the $64 million of cash provided by financing activities in the first six
months of 1993. The change was primarily due to a reduction in proceeds from
net short-term borrowings, an increase in the company's cash dividends paid
per common share, and a partial redemption of the company's 9 1/2% Sinking
Fund Debentures due July 1, 2016. The company redeemed $100 million of the
$250 million principal amount outstanding on July 1, 1994.
The working capital deficit decreased $50 million during the six
months ended July 1, 1994. The decrease in the working capital deficit was
primarily due to increased customer accounts receivables for the first six
months of 1994, related to increased revenue. A working capital deficit is
not unusual for CSX and does not indicate a lack of liquidity. CSX continues
to maintain adequate current assets to satisfy current liabilities when they
are due and has sufficient liquidity and financial resources to manage its
day-to-day cash needs. For the full year, CSX does not expect significant
changes in working capital, property additions, or debt levels from the prior
year.

OUTLOOK
- -------
For the balance of 1994, each of CSX's major transportation units
anticipates favorable revenue levels compared with 1993. The higher revenue
levels are anticipated to result from the strong domestic economy. The
company also plans to continue the intense focus on productivity improvements
and expense control throughout its transportation units over the next six
months.
Entering the second half of 1994, CSXT is experiencing solid demand
for coal shipments as U.S. utilities rebuild inventories depleted by 1993's
United Mine Workers strikes and unusually high demand during severe winter
weather. Export coal shipments, however, remain weak, as a result of
depressed demand from abroad, foreign competition and the strong domestic
market. CSXT merchandise traffic, reflecting the underlying strength of the
U.S. industrial sector, is expected to trend with the economy. CSXT
experienced only slight interruptions of service and no structural damage
during mid-July flooding in the southeastern U.S.
Sea-Land anticipates traffic flows in nearly all of its trade lanes
will surpass prior year levels during the balance of the year. While the
nationwide Teamsters' strike disrupted Sea-Land's operations during the second
quarter, the unit quickly regained customer confidence following the strike
and has seen no permanent traffic loss. Strong demand for ocean
transportation should allow Sea-Land to select higher-rated traffic. A more
stable rate environment is expected throughout the industry.
CSX Intermodal expects sustained strong levels of shipments and
revenue during the remaining months of 1994. The unit continues to benefit
from growth in the general economy as well as market share gains.
With the expectation of a healthy grain harvest in the second half of
the year, American Commercial Lines anticipates stronger demand for its
services and with this demand, recovery of barge rates.
CSXT will monitor and be actively involved in industrywide labor
contract negotiations which are expected to begin in late 1994. These
negotiations have traditionally taken place over a number of months and have
not resulted in any extended work stoppages.
