'''CSX Transporation, Inc.''' is a [[railway]] in the [[United States]]. The parent company of CSX Transportation is CSX Corporation. CSX was formed in 1987 from a merger of the [[Chessie System]] and [[Seaboard System]]. The Chessie System in turn was formed from the [[Chesapeake and Ohio Railway]], the [[Baltimore and Ohio]] and [[Western Maryland Railroad]]. Seaboard System was formed from the [[Louisville and Nashville Railroad]] (L&N), the [[Seaboard Coast Line Railroad]], [[Clinchfield Railroad]], and some smaller lines.
Today the CSX is one of seven remaining [[Class I Railroad|Class I freight railroads]] in the United States and Canada, along with [[Norfolk Southern]], [[Burlington Northern Santa Fe]], [[Kansas City Southern]], [[Union Pacific]], [[Canadian National Railway]], and [[Canadian Pacific Railway]]. Most of the other well known railroad lines have merged into one of these seven remaining Class I lines.
In 1999 the assets of [[Conrail]] were divided between CSX and Norfolk Southern. Conrail was a U.S. government run railway which comprised the former assets of the [[Pennsylvania Railroad]] and [[New York Central]] (which had merged in 1968 to become the [[Penn Central]] only to declare bankruptcy in 1970), [[Erie Lackawanna]], [[Ann Arbor Railroad]], [[Lehigh Valley Railroad]], and several others which had all declared [[bankruptcy]] in the early 1970s.
