REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
------------------------------
The Administrative Committee
American Commercial Vessel and Terminal Employees' Savings Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available
for benefits of the American Commercial Vessel and Terminal Employees' Savings
Plan ("Plan") as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of
changes in net assets available for benefits for the 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 benefits of the
Plan at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in its net assets
available for benefits for the 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 December 31, 1995, and reportable
transactions for the 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 Fund Information in the
statements of net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of
additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for
benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund. The
supplemental schedules and Fund Information are the responsibility of the
Plan's management. Such supplemental schedules and Fund Information have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our 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.

AMERICAN COMMERCIAL VESSEL
AND TERMINAL EMPLOYEES' SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1995
(Thousands of Dollars)
NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting records of the American Commercial Vessel and Terminal
Employees' Savings Plan, (the "Plan"), are maintained on the accrual basis.
All securities transactions of the plan are recorded as of the trade date.
Investments in insurance company contracts are reported at contract value.
Contract value represents contributions made under the contract, plus interest
at the contract rate, less funds used to pay participant distributions.
Investments in the Liberty National Bank Treasury Bill Index Account, a short-
term investment vehicle are valued at cost plus accrued income, which
approximates fair value. Investments in CSX Corporation common stock and
mutual funds are presented at fair value. Fair value is based upon the last
reported sales price on the last business day of the Plan year.
Effective January 1, 1996, CSX will adopt the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants Statements 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.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The participating employers of the Plan include American Commercial Barge Line
Company, American Commercial Marine Service Company, Hines American Line, Inc.
and American Valley Line Terminals, Inc., subsidiaries of American Commercial
Lines, Inc. ("ACL"), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of CSX Corporation
("CSX").
A complete description of Plan provisions including those relating to vesting,
withdrawals, and distributions are contained in the Summary Plan Description
and the Plan Document. Copies of these documents are available in the
American Commercial Barge Line 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 is intended to qualify as a "cash or deferred" arrangement under
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("IRC"). Plan
participation is limited to certain hourly paid employees of ACL and
affiliated companies (the "Company" or the "Employer").

AMERICAN COMMERCIAL VESSEL
AND TERMINAL EMPLOYEES' SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Continued
(Thousands of Dollars)
NOTE 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN, Continued
Investment Alternatives: Participant contributions may be invested in one or
more of the following investment funds: (1) the Guaranteed Interest Fund,
consisting primarily of a group annuity deposit fund administered by
Commonwealth Life Insurance Company; (2) the Equity Fund, which consists
primarily of investments in the Fidelity Equity Income Fund; and (3) the CSX
Common Stock Fund, consisting primarily of investments in CSX 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.
Employer contributions are made in the form of cash deposits to the CSX Common
Stock Fund.
Participant Contributions: Participants in the Plan are allowed to contribute
designated amounts (not to exceed $6.00 per day). All participant
contributions are made on an after tax basis within the limits imposed by the
IRC and may be invested in increments of 10% in any of the three investment
alternatives. Investment direction may be revised by participants as often as
four times per year.
Employer Contributions: The Employer contributes to the Plan an amount equal
to 75% of each participating employee's contributions.
Vesting, Withdrawals, Distributions and Forfeitures: Participants are
immediately vested in their voluntary contributions plus actual earnings
thereon. Participants are fully vested in Employer matching contributions
after one of the following occurs: 1) Completion of 60 consecutive months of
employment, 2) death or retirement, 3) total disability, or 4) termination of
the Plan. If a participant withdraws from the Plan without being fully
vested, the Employer's matching contributions and earnings thereon vest based
on years of service as of the date of termination in accordance with the
following schedule:
Years of Service Vested Percentage
---------------- -----------------
Less than 2 years 0%
2 years but less than 3 25%
3 years but less than 4 50%
4 years but less than 5 75%
5 years or more 100%
Withdrawals and distributions are controlled in accordance with the provisions
of the Plan. Amounts not fully vested at the time of withdrawal are forfeited
upon participant termination of employment for reasons other than retirement,
death or total disability; however, if an employee reactivates participation
in the plan within a specified time period, the Employer contributions and
income earned thereon are reinstated. These contingent reinstatement amounts
were not significant at December 31, 1995 or 1994.

PAGE 10
AMERICAN COMMERCIAL VESSEL
AND TERMINAL EMPLOYEES' SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Continued
(Thousands of Dollars)
NOTE 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN, Continued
Forfeitures in the amounts of $8 and $26 were used to offset Employer's
contributions for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Related amounts of contributions receivable from the Employer at December 31,
1995 and 1994 were reduced by unapplied forfeitures in the amounts of $0.5 and
$7, respectively.
Participant Accounts: Each participant's account is credited with the
participant's contributions, the appropriate portion of the Employer's
contributions and an allocation of Plan earnings. The benefit to which a
participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the
participant's 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 plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their
accounts.
NOTE 3. INVESTMENTS
The Plan's investments are held by a bank administered trust fund. These
investments are more fully described below:
Guaranteed Interest Fund: Substantially all of the assets held in this fund
are invested in a group annuity deposit fund administered by Commonwealth Life
Insurance Company. Interest on the fund fluctuates monthly based on market
conditions with a minimum rate of 4%.
Equity Fund: Substantially all of the assets held in the Equity Fund are
invested in the Fidelity Equity Income Fund, a mutual fund managed by Fidelity
Management and Research Company.
CSX Stock Fund: Substantially all of the assets held in this fund are
invested in CSX common stock.
NOTE 4. INCOME TAX STATUS
The Internal Revenue Service ruled November 16, 1994, that the Plan qualifies
under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Codes (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.
Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's
financial statements.

AND TERMINAL EMPLOYEES' SAVINGS PLAN

(Thousands of Dollars)
NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Fees for administration, investment advice and other services are principally
paid by the Employer. The Plan is not charged for administrative services
performed on its behalf by the Employer. The Employer paid $4 and $21,
respectively, to the Trustee and to the Plan Administrator during 1995, and $4
and $23, respectively, to the Trustee and to the Plan Administrator during
1994, for administrative expenses of the Plan.
During the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Plan received $54 and
$49, respectively, representing cash dividends from CSX Corporation common
stock.
The trustee routinely invests Plan assets in the Liberty National Bank
Treasury Bill Index Account. For the year ended December 31, 1995,
transactions involving this account included 88 purchases with a total cost of
$960 and 43 sales with a fair value and cost of $985. During the year ended
December 31, 1994, transactions involving this account included 135 purchases
with a total cost of $1,855 and 62 sales with a fair value and cost of $2,047.
NOTE 6. COMPARISON TO FORM 5500
Form 5500 requires the recording of a liability for amounts allocated to the
accounts of participants who have withdrawn from the Plan. This requirement
conflicts with generally accepted accounting principles and the presentation
of such amounts in the financial statements where they remain net assets
available for benefits until paid.
The following is a reconciliation of net assets available for benefits per the
financial statements to the Form 5500:
December 31

Net assets available
for benefits per
the financial statements $3,942 $3,250
