Eastern Railroad Discussion > What does name CSX stand for?Date: 03/06/01 07:26 What does name CSX stand for? Author: Anvilhead Can anyone tell me what these three letters really stand for? The best (most believable)I have heard is "C" is for Chessie, "S" for Seaboard, and "X" symbolizes the way these two roads crossed somewhere down south. Other than that theory the letters/name makes little sense. Local management(old CR)doesn't seem to know. Anyone out there have an idea?

Date: 03/06/01 07:46 RE: What does name CSX stand for? Author: SD80MAC4100 CSX= CHESSIE+SEABOARD+X=Multiplied (CSX says X Means "and much More")----- this was all before the name was officially changed to CSX CORPORATION, as opposed to it's component companies, CSXT=CSX Transportation, CSXI=CSX Intermodal, etc., etc.
