prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of the Notes we are offering and certain other matters relating to CSX Corporation (&#147;CSX&#148; and, together with its subsidiaries, the &#147;Company&#148;). The second part, the base
prospectus, gives more general information about securities we may offer from time to time, some of which does not apply to the Notes we are offering. Generally, when we refer to the prospectus, we are referring to both parts of this document

reporting such interest payments and the amount of any tax withheld may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which a non-U.S. holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty. Backup withholding is

to a rate of 35% after six years), subject to the ability of the individual to avoid withholding tax through voluntary disclosure of the investment to the individual&#146;s member state. The transitional period is to terminate following agreement by
certain non-European Union countries to the exchange of information relating to such payments. In addition, a number of non-European Union countries, and certain dependent or associated territories of certain member states, have adopted similar

under the amended trust agreement, the rights of the holders of the trust common securities to payment of distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise, will be subordinated to the rights of the holders of the trust preferred

trust preferred securities called for redemption will cease, except the right of the holders of the trust preferred securities to receive the redemption price but without interest on the redemption price. In the event that any date fixed for

delay, except that, if that business day falls in the next calendar year, payment will be made on the immediately preceding business day. In the event that payment of the redemption price in respect of trust preferred securities is improperly
withheld or refused and not paid either by the Trust or by CSX under the guarantee, distributions on the trust preferred securities will continue to accrue at the then applicable rate from the original redemption date to the date of payment, in

In case an event of default occurs and is continuing, the guarantee trustee will exercise the same degree of care as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. Subject to those
provisions, the guarantee trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its powers under any guarantee at the request of any holder of the related trust preferred securities unless that holder offers reasonable indemnity to the guarantee trustee

vote of a majority of the voting shares other than shares owned by any Interested Shareholder, a corporation can adopt an amendment to its articles of incorporation or bylaws providing that the Affiliated Transactions provisions will not apply to
the corporation.&nbsp;At the 2006 annual meeting, the shareholders of CSX voted to &#147;opt out&#148; of the Affiliated Transactions provisions of the VSCA and eliminate the supermajority voting default rules.&nbsp;Under CSX&#146;s amended and
restated articles of incorporation, the following actions must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting shares entitled to vote: (1)&nbsp;any plan of merger or share exchange for which the VSCA requires shareholder approval;
(2)&nbsp;the sale of all or substantially all of CSX&#146;s property for which the VSCA requires shareholder approval; and (3)&nbsp;the dissolution of CSX.&nbsp;Majority voting for these three types of actions became effective on November&nbsp;3,
2007, 18 months after the amendment was approved by the shareholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Virginia law also generally provides that shares of a
Virginia corporation acquired in a transaction that would cause the acquiring person&#146;s voting strength to meet or exceed any of three thresholds (20%, 33-1/3% or 50%) have no voting rights with respect to those shares unless granted by a
majority vote of shares not owned by the acquiring person or any officer or employee-director of the corporation. This provision empowers an acquiring person to require the Virginia corporation to hold a special meeting of shareholders to consider
the matter within 50 days of its request. This law does not apply to acquisitions of CSX stock. </FONT></P>
