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 accompanying base prospectus, gives more general information about securities we may

2046 Notes or the 2066 Notes, issue other debt securities under the senior indenture in addition to the $700,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes, $800,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2046 Notes and $700,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of the 2066 Notes. CSX may also, from time to time, without the consent of the holders of a series of Notes, issue additional debt securities having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes
of the applicable series. Any additional debt securities having similar terms as the Notes of any series, together with the Notes of the applicable series, will constitute a single series of debt securities under the senior indenture if such
additional debt securities are fungible with the Notes of that series for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any additional debt securities that are not fungible with the Notes of the applicable series for U.S. federal income tax purposes will have a

Depositary, as a holder, may appoint agents and otherwise authorize participants to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action that a holder is entitled to give or take under the senior
indenture. CSX understands that under existing industry practices, if CSX requests any action of holders or an owner of a book-entry Note desires to give or take any action a holder is entitled to give or take under the senior indenture, the
Depositary would authorize the participants owning the relevant book-entry Notes to give or take that action, and those participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through those participants to give or take that action or would otherwise
act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through them. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Clearance and Settlement Procedures </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Initial settlement for the Notes will be made in immediately available funds. Transfers between participants in the Depositary will be effected
in the ordinary way in accordance with the Depositary&#146;s rules and will be settled in same-day funds. Secondary market trading between Clearstream Luxembourg Participants and/or Euroclear Participants will be effected in the ordinary way, in
accordance with the applicable rules and operating procedures of Clearstream Luxembourg and Euroclear, and will be settled using the procedures applicable to conventional eurobonds in immediately available funds. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Cross-market transfers between persons holding directly or indirectly through participants in the Depositary, on the one hand, and directly or
indirectly through Clearstream Luxembourg Participants or Euroclear Participants, on the other, will be effected in the Depositary in accordance with the Depositary&#146;s rules on behalf of the relevant European international clearing system by its
U.S. Depositary; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to the relevant European international clearing system by the counterparty in such system, in accordance with its rules and procedures and within its
established deadlines (European time). The relevant European international clearing system will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its U.S. Depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its
behalf by delivering or receiving Notes in the Depositary, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to the Depositary. Clearstream Luxembourg Participants and Euroclear
Participants may not deliver instructions directly to their respective U.S. Depositaries. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because of time-zone differences, credits of
book-entry Notes received in Clearstream Luxembourg or Euroclear as a result of a transaction with a Depositary participant will be made during subsequent securities settlement processing and dated the business day following the Depositary
settlement date. Such credits or any transactions in such Notes settled during such processing will be reported to the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream Luxembourg Participants on such business day. Cash received in Clearstream Luxembourg or
Euroclear as a result of sales of Notes by or through a Clearstream Luxembourg Participant or a Euroclear Participant to a Depositary participant will be received on the Depositary settlement date but will be available in the relevant Clearstream
Luxembourg or Euroclear cash account only as of the business day following settlement in the Depositary. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Although the Depositary,
Clearstream Luxembourg and Euroclear have agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of Notes among participants of the Depositary, Clearstream Luxembourg and Euroclear, they are under no obligation to perform or continue to
perform such procedures and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Concerning the Trustee </B></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following discussion is a general summary of material U.S. federal income and, to a limited extent, estate tax consequences to non-U.S.
holders (as defined below) of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the Notes. This discussion applies only to non-U.S. holders that acquire the Notes pursuant to this offering at the initial offering price indicated on the cover page of
this prospectus supplement. This discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;Code&#148;), Treasury regulations promulgated and proposed thereunder, judicial authorities, published positions of the Internal
Revenue Service (the &#147;IRS&#148;) and other applicable authorities, all as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. </P>

assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax discussion points set forth below. This discussion is limited to investors that hold the Notes as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Furthermore,
except to the extent set forth below, this discussion does not address any U.S. federal gift or alternative minimum tax laws or any state, local or non-U.S. tax laws. Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S.
federal, state and local, non-U.S. income and other tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the Notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Non-U.S. Holder

individual, corporation, estate or trust that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is not a U.S. person. You are generally treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes if you are: (i)&nbsp;an individual who is a citizen or
resident of the United States, including an alien individual who is a lawful permanent resident of the United States or who meets the &#147;substantial presence&#148; test under Section&nbsp;7701(b) of the Code; (ii)&nbsp;a corporation or other
entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States or of any state therein or the District of Columbia; (iii)&nbsp;an estate the income of which is

substantial decisions of the trust or (B)&nbsp;which has made a valid election to be treated as a U.S. person under applicable Treasury regulations. If any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes is a
beneficial owner of a Note, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A beneficial owner of a Note that is a partnership, and
partners in such partnership, should consult their tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of the Notes. </P>

If interest on the Notes is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States by the non-U.S. holder (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed
base within the United States) then the non-U.S. holder will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such interest in the same manner as if such holder were a U.S. person. In this case, the non-U.S. holder will be exempt from withholding
tax on interest although such holder will be required to provide a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI in order to claim exemption from withholding tax. A non-U.S. holder that is a non-U.S. corporation may also be subject to the branch profits tax at
a rate of 30% (or a lower applicable treaty rate) in respect of earnings attributable to the conduct of a trade or business within the United States. </P>

&#147;&#151;Interest&#148;) and the adjusted tax basis of the Note. The adjusted tax basis of the Note generally equals the amount the non-U.S. holder paid for the Note. A non-U.S. holder will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax with
respect to gain recognized on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of the Notes unless (i)&nbsp;the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States by the non-U.S. holder (and, if an income
tax treaty applies, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base within the United States) or (ii)&nbsp;in the case of a non-U.S. holder that is an individual, such holder is present in the United States for 183 or more days in the
taxable year in which such holder disposes of the Notes and certain other conditions are satisfied. In the case described above in (i), gain recognized on the disposition of such Notes will generally be subject to U.S. federal income taxation at
regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates in the same manner as if such gain were recognized by a U.S. person, and, in the case of a non-U.S. holder that is a non-U.S. corporation, may also be subject to the branch profits tax at a rate of 30%
(or a lower applicable treaty rate). In the case described above in (ii), the non-U.S. holder will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or a lower applicable treaty rate) on any capital gain recognized on the disposition of the
Notes, which may be offset by certain U.S.-source capital losses. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Federal Estate Tax </B></P>

power of all classes of our stock entitled to vote and (ii)&nbsp;payments of interest with respect to such Notes would not have been effectively connected with the conduct by such individual of a trade or business in the United States. </P>

provision of a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other appropriate form). In addition, we must report annually to the IRS and to each non-U.S. holder the amount of any payments on the Notes to such non-U.S. holder, regardless of
whether any tax was actually withheld. Information returns may also be filed with the IRS in connection with the proceeds of a disposition of the Notes unless you comply with the certification procedures to establish that you are not a U.S. person,
as described above, to avoid backup withholding. Copies of the information returns reporting such payments of principal and interest on or the proceeds of a disposition of the Notes and the amount of any tax withheld may

enacted in 2010, referred to as FATCA, withholding tax at a rate of 30% applies to U.S.-source interest and, beginning after December&nbsp;31, 2018, to sales or redemption proceeds paid to (i)&nbsp;&#147;foreign financial institutions&#148; unless
the institution certifies that it has entered into an agreement with the U.S. government to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities information regarding U.S. account holders of such institution (which would include certain equity and debt
holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders that are non-U.S. entities with U.S. owners) or meets other exemptions or (ii)&nbsp;a non-U.S. entity that is not a financial institution, unless such entity provides the withholding
agent with a certification identifying the substantial U.S. owners of the entity, which generally includes any U.S. person who directly or indirectly owns more than 10% of the entity or meets other exemptions. If FATCA withholding is imposed, a
beneficial owner that is not a foreign financial institution generally will be entitled to a refund or credit of any amounts withheld by filing a U.S. federal income tax return (which may entail significant administrative burden). An
intergovernmental agreement between the jurisdiction where the non-U.S. entity is resident or organized and the United States may modify the rules summarized in this paragraph. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the
effects of FATCA on their investment in the Notes. </P>

market. These transactions may include over-allotment, syndicate covering transactions and stabilizing transactions. Over-allotment involves syndicate sales of the applicable series of Notes in excess of the principal amount of such Notes to be
purchased by the underwriters in the offering, which creates a syndicate short position. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the applicable series of Notes in the open market after the distribution has been completed, in order to
cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases of the applicable series of Notes made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of such Notes while the offering is in
progress. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The representatives, on behalf of the underwriters, may also impose a penalty bid. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to

CSX is a holding company, substantially all of whose consolidated assets are held by our subsidiaries. Accordingly, the cash flow of CSX and the consequent ability to service our debt, including the debt securities, are largely dependent upon the
earnings of those subsidiaries. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because CSX is a holding company, the debt securities issued by CSX will be effectively subordinated to
all existing and future indebtedness, trade payables, guarantees, lease obligations and letter of credit obligations of CSX&#146;s subsidiaries. Therefore, CSX&#146;s rights and the rights of our creditors, including the holders of the debt
securities, to participate in the assets of any subsidiary upon the latter&#146;s liquidation or reorganization will be subject to the prior claims of that subsidiary&#146;s creditors, except to the extent that CSX may itself be a creditor with
recognized claims against the subsidiary, in which case the claims of CSX would still be effectively subordinate to any security interest in, or mortgages or other liens on, the assets of that subsidiary and would be subordinate to any indebtedness
of that subsidiary senior to that held by CSX. Although certain debt instruments to which CSX and our subsidiaries are parties impose limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, both CSX and our subsidiaries retain the ability to incur
substantial additional indebtedness and lease and letter of credit obligations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Global Debt Securities </B></P>

not contain provisions that would give holders of the debt securities the right to require CSX to repurchase their debt securities in the event of a decline in the credit rating of our debt securities resulting from a takeover, recapitalization or

create, assume, incur or suffer to exist any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance, charge or security interest of any kind upon any stock or indebtedness, whether owned on the date of the senior indenture or acquired later, of any principal
subsidiary, to secure any obligation (other than the senior debt securities) of CSX, any subsidiary or any other person, unless all of the outstanding senior debt securities (and other outstanding debt securities issued from time to time pursuant to
the senior indenture) will be directly secured equally and ratably with that obligation. This provision does not restrict any other property of CSX or our subsidiaries. The senior indenture defines &#147;obligation&#148; as indebtedness for money
borrowed or indebtedness evidenced by a bond, note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness; &#147;principal subsidiary&#148; as CSXT; and &#147;subsidiary&#148; as a corporation a majority of the outstanding voting stock of which is owned,

the effect that, as a result of an amendment to or change in the Investment Company Act or regulations thereunder on or after the date the trust preferred securities are issued and sold, there is more than an insubstantial risk that the Trust is or
will be considered an investment company and be required to be registered under the Investment Company Act. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Redemption Procedures </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Trust may not redeem fewer than all the outstanding trust securities unless all accrued and unpaid distributions have been paid on all
trust securities for all distribution periods terminating on or before the date of redemption. In the event that fewer than all of the outstanding trust securities are to be redeemed, the trust securities will be redeemed proportionately. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the Trust gives a notice of redemption in respect of the trust securities (which notice will be irrevocable), then, by 2:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the redemption date, and if CSX has paid to the property trustee a sufficient amount of cash in connection with the related redemption or maturity of the subordinated debt securities, (i)&nbsp;with respect to trust preferred securities
represented by global securities the property trustee will irrevocably deposit with the depositary funds sufficient to pay the applicable redemption price and will give the depositary irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the redemption
price to the holders of the trust preferred securities, and (ii)&nbsp;with respect to trust securities not represented by global securities (including the trust common securities), the paying agent will pay the applicable redemption price to the
holders of such trust securities by check. If notice of redemption has been given and funds deposited as required, then, immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the deposit, distributions will cease to accrue and all rights of
holders of trust securities called for redemption will cease, except the right of the holders of the trust securities to receive the redemption price but without interest on the redemption price. In the event that any date fixed for redemption of
trust securities is not a business day, then payment of the redemption price payable on that date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a business day, without any interest or other payment in respect of any such 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 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 which case the actual payment date will be
considered the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the redemption price. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Subject to the foregoing and applicable law,

several exceptions discussed below, generally require approval of certain material transactions between a Virginia corporation and any beneficial holder of more than 10% of any class of its outstanding voting shares (an &#147;Interested
Shareholder&#148;) by a majority of disinterested directors and by the holders of at least two-thirds of the remaining voting shares. Affiliated Transactions subject to this approval requirement include mergers, share exchanges, material
dispositions of corporate assets not in the ordinary course of business, any dissolution of the corporation proposed by or on behalf of an Interested Shareholder, or any reclassification, including reverse stock splits, recapitalization or merger of
the corporation with its subsidiaries, which increases the percentage of voting shares owned beneficially by an Interested Shareholder by more than 5%. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For three years following the time that a person becomes an Interested Shareholder, a Virginia corporation cannot engage in an Affiliated
Transaction with that Interested Shareholder without the approval of two-thirds of the voting shares other than those shares beneficially owned by the Interested Shareholder, and the approval of a majority of the Disinterested Directors.

proposed after the three-year period has expired and require either that the transaction be approved by a majority of CSX&#146;s Disinterested Directors or that the transaction satisfy the fair-price requirements of the statute. In general, the
fair-price requirement provides that in a two-step acquisition transaction, the Interested Shareholder must pay the shareholders in the second step either the same amount of cash or the same amount and type of consideration paid to acquire
CSX&#146;s shares in the first step. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">None of the limitations and special voting requirements described above applies to an Interested

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. 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. 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. 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. </P>
