The more i read on CSX the more it confuses me here are my ???'S.

  1. When did they merge?

  2. I read in 1985 trains mags that Chessie was buying new engines and seadboard was buying new engines in there own paint shemes.

Thats all for now all ask more later.

CSX was a sort of multi-step creation:

  • CSX Corporation was formed on November 1, 1980.
  • Subsidiary CSX Transportation absorbed Seaboard System Railroad on July 1, 1986.
  • Chesapeake & Ohio, the only corporate survivor of the Chessie System Railroads, was merged into CSX on August 31, 1987.
