                                     Report of Independent Auditors
                                                    


The Pension Committee
Tax Savings Thrift Plan for Employees of CSX Corporation and Affiliated        
    Companies
CSX Corporation
Richmond, Virginia


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Tax Savings Thrift Plan for Employees of CSX Corporation and
Affiliated Companies (the "Plan") as of September 30, 1995 and 1994, and the
related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for
the fiscal years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan
at September 30, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in its net assets available
for plan benefits for the fiscal years then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes as of September 30, 1995, and transactions or
series of transactions in excess of 5% of the current value of plan assets for
the fiscal year then ended, are presented for the purpose of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental schedules are the responsibility of
the Plan's management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements
and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

             TAX SAVINGS THRIFT PLAN FOR EMPLOYEES OF CSX CORPORATION
                            AND AFFILIATED COMPANIES
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1995   
                             (Dollars in Thousands)

NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The accounting records of the Tax Savings Thrift Plan for Employees of CSX
Corporation and Affiliated Companies ("the Plan") are maintained on the
accrual basis. All securities transactions of the Plan are recorded as of the
trade date.  

Investments in guaranteed investment contracts are reported at cost plus
accrued income, which is contract value.  Investments in mutual funds and CSX
Corporation ("CSX") common stock are presented at fair value.  Fair value is
based upon the last reported sales price on the last business day of the Plan
year.  Investments in collective trust fund participation units are carried at
cost plus accrued interest, which approximates contract value.  Investments in
loans to participants are carried at their outstanding principal balances,
which approximates fair value.  Such loans bear interest at the prime rate in
effect at the beginning of the quarter in which each loan originated.

Effective October 1, 1995, CSX will adopt the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants Statement of Position 94-4, "Reporting of Investment
Contracts Held by Health and Welfare Benefit Plans and Defined Contribution
Pension Plans".  This statement specifies the accounting for investment
contracts issued by either an insurance enterprise or other entity.  The
financial impact of adopting Statement of Position 94-4 is not expected to be
significant.

Certain amounts in the financial statements for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1994 have been reclassified to be consistent with the
presentation of the related current year amounts.

NOTE 2--DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

A complete description of Plan provisions, including those relating to
contributions, vesting, withdrawals, loans and distributions, is contained in
the Summary Plan Description and the Plan document.  The prospectus relating
to the Plan, which includes the Summary Plan Description, was filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  Copies of these documents are available
from the CSX Benefits Department.  The following summary should be read in
conjunction with the aforementioned documents.

General:  The Plan is a defined contribution plan subject to the provisions of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). 
The Plan qualifies as a "cash or deferred" arrangement under Section 401(k) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("IRC").  Plan participation is
voluntary and is limited to full-time salaried employees and certain non-union
hourly employees of CSX Corporation and adopting affiliated companies (the
"Employer").

NOTE 2--DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN--Continued

Plan Mergers:  Effective January 1, 1994, the American Commercial Lines, Inc.
Thrift Plan was merged into the Plan.  The merger resulted in a transfer of
$33,984 of net assets to the Plan.

Effective January 1, 1994, the Customized Transportation, Inc. Employee
Savings Plan was merged into the Plan.  The merger resulted in a transfer of
$2,164 of net assets to the Plan.

Investment Alternatives:  Participant contributions may be invested in one or
more of the following investment funds:  (1) the Stable Interest Fund,
consisting primarily of guaranteed investment contracts issued by highly-rated
insurance companies; (2) the Income and Growth Fund, consisting of a mutual
fund that invests in various securities selected primarily for a combination
of income and capital growth potential; (3) the S&P 500 Index Fund, consisting
of a mutual fund that invests in common and capital stocks selected primarily
to duplicate the performance of the stock market as a whole; (4) the Growth
Fund, consisting of a mutual fund that invests in various securities selected
primarily for capital growth potential;  (5) the Aggressive Growth Fund,
consisting of a mutual fund that invests in the common stocks of small to
medium-sized companies selected primarily for capital growth over time; (6)
the International Equity Fund, consisting of a mutual fund that invests in the
stocks of companies located outside the United States selected primarily to
achieve long-term growth by participating in the growth of foreign economies;
and (7) the CSX Stock Fund, consisting of investments in CSX Corporation
common stock.

Amounts allocated to any of these funds may be temporarily retained as cash or
invested in cash equivalents to facilitate the investment or reinvestment of
Plan assets and the distribution of account balances to participants.

Participant Contributions:  A participant may contribute from 1% to 15% of his
or her base compensation, in 1% multiples, to the Plan (the "basic
contributions").  In addition, the Plan permits participants to contribute up
to 20% of any incentive compensation to the Plan.  All participant
contributions may be made on a before- or after-tax basis within the limits
imposed by the IRC and may be invested in any combination of the seven
investment alternatives.  Investment direction, including amounts contributed
to the Plan may be revised by participants as often as twelve times per
calendar year; effective January 1, 1996, participants may redirect account
balances within investment options under the Plan without limitation.

Subject to certain limitations, a participant may also reinvest distributions
received from another qualified plan into the Plan. 

Employer Contributions:  The Employer matches a participant's basic
contributions in an amount equal to the lesser of 50% of those contributions
or 3% of his or her base compensation.  Employer matching contributions are
made in the form of cash deposits to the CSX Stock Fund, which are reported in 
                                                  - 9 -

the non-participant directed portion of the CSX Stock Fund in the accompanying
financial statements.  A participant's incentive compensation contributions
are not matched.  Effective January 1, 1994, profit-sharing contributions may
be made at the discretion of the Board of Directors of CSX.  Participants of
the Plan who have attained age 55 may reallocate in multiples of 10% to other
investment alternatives offered under the Plan their interest in the CSX Stock
Fund.  

Vesting, Withdrawals, Loans and Distributions:  Participants are immediately
vested in all contributions made to their accounts plus investment earnings
thereon.  Withdrawals, loans and distributions are controlled in accordance
with the provisions of the Plan.

Participant Accounts:  Each participant's account is credited or charged with
the participant's contributions, the employer's contributions, and an
allocation of the Plan's earnings, losses and administrative expenses. The
benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided
from his or her account.

Plan Termination:  Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the
Employer has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any
time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.  In the
event of termination or partial termination, the total amount in each
participant's account will be distributed to the participant or continue to be
held in trust for his or her benefit.

Administrative Expenses:  The administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by
CSX or from Plan funds as the Plan Administrative Committee from time to time
directs.  CSX paid a portion of the administrative expenses of the Plan in
fiscal years 1995 and 1994. 

NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS

The Plan's investments are held by a bank administered trust fund.  These
investments are more fully described below:

Guaranteed Investment Contracts:  Substantially all of the assets held in the
Stable Interest Fund are invested in guaranteed investment contracts issued by
various insurance companies.  These contracts contain provisions which may
impose penalties for withdrawals prior to the scheduled maturity dates.  In
addition, this Fund invests in the American Express Trust Collective Income
Fund, a collective trust fund which invests primarily in guaranteed investment
contracts issued by insurance companies.  The collective trust fund is managed
by American Express Financial Services.  At September 30, 1995 and 1994, there
were no individual investment contracts that represented 5% or more of the
Plan's net assets, available for plan benefits.

Mutual Funds:  Substantially all of the assets held in the Income and Growth
Fund at September 30, 1995 and 1994, are invested in the Fidelity
Equity-Income Fund, a mutual fund managed by Fidelity Management & Research
Company.

Substantially all of the assets held in the S&P 500 Index Fund at September
30, 1995 and 1994, are invested in the Vanguard Index Trust-500 Portfolio, a
mutual fund managed by the Vanguard Group.

Substantially all of the assets held in the Growth Fund at September 30, 1995
and 1994, are invested in the Twentieth Century Select Investors Fund, a
mutual fund managed by Twentieth Century Investors, Inc.

Substantially all of the assets held in the Aggressive Growth Fund at

Equity Fund, a mutual fund managed by Morgan Stanley.
                                                    
CSX Stock Fund:  Substantially all of the assets held in this fund at
September 30, 1995 and 1994, are invested in CSX common stock.

Loan Fund:  Substantially all of the assets held in this fund at September 30,
1995 and 1994, consist of loans made to Plan participants from their accounts.

NOTE 4--INCOME TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service ruled April 6, 1988, that the Plan qualifies
under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") and,
therefore is not subject to tax under present income tax law. Once qualified,
the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC to maintain its
qualification (see Note 6).  Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been
included in the Plan's financial statements.

NOTE 5--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

CSX and CSX Financial Management, Inc. provide the Plan with certain
management and accounting services.  During fiscal 1995, the Plan reimbursed
CSX and CSX Financial Management approximately $73 and $18, respectively, for
those services.  During fiscal 1994, the Plan reimbursed CSX approximately $84
for those services.  During the fiscal years ended September 30, 1995 and
1994, the Plan received $3,574 and $3,138, respectively, representing cash
dividends from CSX common stock.

NOTE 5--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS--Continued

The trustee, The Northern Trust Company, routinely invests Plan assets in the
Collective Short-Term Investment Fund of The Northern Trust Company.  For the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, transactions involving this account
included 314 purchases with a total cost of $190,861 and 348 sales with a fair
value of $181,788. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1994, transactions
involving this account included 381 purchases with a total cost of $175,647
and 342 sales with a fair value of $167,686.

NOTE 6.--PLAN AMENDMENT

The Plan was amended and restated in 1995, retroactive to January 1, 1989, to
conform to the provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, as amended and
subsequent statutory and regulatory changes.  There was no significant impact
on the Plan due to these changes and amendments.  The Plan is intended to meet
all of the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

In September 1995, the Plan filed a request for determination on the continued
qualified status of the Plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended.  The Plan Administrator is not aware of any course of
action or series of events that have occurred that might adversely affect the
Plan's continued qualified status.

NOTE 7--COMPARISON TO FORM 5500

Form 5500 requires the recording of a liability for participant distributions
processed prior to year-end but not yet paid.  In financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, such
amounts remain net assets available for plan benefits until paid.

The following is a reconciliation of net assets available for plan benefits
per the financial statements to the Form 5500:
