                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                      (All Tables in Millions of Dollars)

NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION.

         In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial
position of CSX Transportation, Inc. ("CSXT") and its majority-owned
subsidiaries as of June 30, 1995 and December 30, 1994, the results of its
operations for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 1995, and July 1, 
1994, and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and July 1,
1994, such adjustments being of a normal recurring nature.  CSXT is a wholly-
owned subsidiary of CSX Corporation ("CSX").

         While management 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 CSXT's latest Form 10-K.  

         Certain prior-year data has been reclassified to conform to the 1995
presentation.

NOTE 2.  RESTRUCTURING CHARGE.

         In the second quarter, the company recorded a $196 million pretax
restructuring charge to recognize the costs associated with a contractual
agreement with a third party to replace and technologically enhance its
existing private telecommunications network.  This initiative will result in a
$163 million write-down of technologically obsolete telecommunications assets
and separation and labor protection payments totaling $33 million to
approximately 275 employees.

NOTE 3.  ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE.

         CSXT has an ongoing agreement to sell without recourse on a monthly
basis, an undivided percentage ownership interest in all freight accounts
receivable to CSX Trade Receivables Corporation ("CTRC"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of CSX.  At June 30, 1995 and December 30, 1994, accounts
receivable sold under this agreement totaled $590 million and $579 million,
respectively.  In addition, CSXT has an agreement to sell with recourse on a
monthly basis, an undivided ownership interest in all miscellaneous accounts
receivable to a financial institution.  Accounts receivable sold under this
agreement totaled $46 million at June 30, 1995 and December 30, 1994.  CSXT
has retained the collection and servicing responsibility with respect to all
accounts receivable sold.

NOTE 6.  CONTINGENCIES.

         As part of its restructuring initiative, CSXT entered a contractual
agreement with a third party to replace and technologically enhance its
existing private telecommunications network.  The agreement was executed
during the second quarter of 1995, and requires minimum payments totaling
approximately $330 million over its ten-year term.

         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.  Cost estimates are based on
information available for each site, financial viability of other potentially
responsible parties, and existing technology, laws and regulations.
                                     - 7 -

                      (All Tables in Millions of Dollars)

NOTE 6.  CONTINGENCIES, Continued

         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.  The recorded liabilities for estimated future environmental costs at
June 30, 1995 and December 30, 1994 were $139 million and $140 million,
respectively.  The liability has been accrued for future costs for all sites
where the company's obligation is probable and where such costs can be
reasonably estimated.  The liability includes future costs for remediation and
restoration of sites as well as for ongoing monitoring costs, but excludes any
anticipated insurance recoveries.  The majority of the June 30, 1995
environmental liability is expected to be paid out over the next five years,
funded by cash generated from operations.

         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.  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.  The company believes that the ultimate
liability for these matters will not materially affect its overall results of
operations and financial condition.

         A number of legal actions, other than environmental, are pending
against CSXT in which claims are made in substantial amounts.  While the
ultimate results of environmental investigations, lawsuits and claims
involving CSXT 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.

NOTE 7.  RELATED PARTIES.

         Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1995 and December 30, 1994,
includes $624 million and $510 million, respectively, representing amounts due
from CSX for CSXT's participation in the CSX cash management plan.  Under this
plan, excess cash is advanced to CSX for investment and CSX makes cash funds
available to its subsidiaries as needed for use in their operations.  CSX is
committed to repay all amounts due on demand should circumstances require. 
The companies are charged for borrowings or compensated for investments based
on returns earned by the plan portfolio.

NOTE 7.  RELATED PARTIES, Continued

         In 1994, CSXT entered into a loan agreement with Customized
Transportation, Inc. ("CTI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSX, whereby CTI
borrowed $40 million from CSXT.  Interest on the loan is payable semi-
annually, with the entire principal amount due on January 1, 2001.  Interest
income was $1 million for the quarters ending June 30, 1995 and July 1, 1994.

         Included in Materials, Supplies and Other expense are amounts related
to a management service fee charged by CSX, data processing related charges
from CSX Technology, Inc. ("Technology"), and the reimbursement, under an
operating agreement, from CSX Intermodal, Inc. ("CSXI") for costs incurred by
CSXT related to intermodal operations.  Technology and CSXI are wholly-owned
subsidiaries of CSX.  Materials, Supplies and Other expense includes net
expense of $72 million for the second quarter of 1995 and $49 million for the
second quarter of 1994 relating to the above arrangements.

         CSXT has an operating lease agreement with CSXI for 3,400 rebuilt
coal gondola cars.  The cars were previously owned and rebuilt by CSXT, and
were subsequently sold to CSXI at book value.  These cars are presently being
leased by CSXT through March 2006.  In addition, CSXT is leasing 65
locomotives from CSXI pursuant to a pre-existing operating lease agreement
acquired by CSXI from a third party.  These locomotives are being leased by
CSXT through May 2008.  In the second quarter of 1995 and 1994, rent expense
includes $5 million associated with the CSXI lease agreements noted above.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S ANALYSIS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Second Quarter 1995 Compared With 1994
- --------------------------------------

         Net operating income for the 1995 second quarter was $28 million
versus $230 million for the prior-year quarter.  Results for the quarter
included the effect of a $196 million pretax restructuring charge related to a
contractual agreement with a third party to replace and technologically
enhance the company's existing private telecommunications network.

         Exclusive of the restructuring charge, transportation operating
income declined $3 million or 1 percent, to $217 million for the second
quarter of 1995, from $220 million in the prior-year quarter.  A 3 percent
increase in revenue for the quarter was offset by a 4 percent increase in
total operating expense.

    (a)  Pro forma basis, excluding $196 million restructuring charge.

         Transportation revenue, driven by traffic gains in both merchandise
and export coal, increased 3 percent over the prior-year quarter to $1.2
billion.  Merchandise traffic rose 3 percent, benefiting from gains in a
number of markets, notably agricultural products, phosphates and fertilizer,
metals and chemicals.

         Overall, coal volume rose 3 percent in the quarter to 39.7 million
tons as exports surged 81 percent to 5.8 million tons, more than offsetting a
4 percent drop in domestic tonnage.  Domestic volume was 33.9 million tons for
the quarter, reflecting lower utility burn rates due to mild winter weather
across the eastern United States.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S ANALYSIS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED        

Second Quarter 1995 Compared With 1994, Continued
- -------------------------------------------------

         Excluding the restructuring charge, transportation operating expense
was $994 million in the quarter compared to $955 million in the second quarter
of 1994.  Materials, supplies and other expense increased 10 percent,
reflecting heavier traffic volumes.  Labor and fringe benefit expense
increased approximately 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.

First Six Months 1995 Compared to 1994
- --------------------------------------

         For the first six months ended June 30, 1995, CSXT reported operating
income, excluding the restructuring charge, of $422 million versus $365
million for the same period in 1994.  Continuing cost control efforts held
expenses near 1994 levels while continued strength in the domestic economy and
improved export coal volume combined to increase revenues 5 percent.

OUTLOOK
- -------

         Entering the third quarter of 1995, CSXT is experiencing solid demand
for export coal shipments as U.S. producers take advantage of increased
economic activity abroad and favorable exchange rates.  Merchandise traffic is
expected to maintain its strength over the second half of the year.

         CSXT continues to monitor and be actively involved in ongoing
industrywide labor contract negotiations.  These negotiations have
traditionally taken place over a number of months and have not resulted in any
extended work stoppages.
