-> DE> Try...Consolidated States Transportaion...beats me where the X
-> comes DE> in, but that's what it stands for... David,      You may be
-> confusing this with Consolidated Rail Corporation, which is the full
-> corporate name of Conrail, not CSX.      CSX Transportation has no
-> expanded form of its name.  It is simply CSX.      Some of the
-> notions put forth by CSX at the time that name was adopted were that
-> the "C" was for Chesapeake and Ohio, the "S" was for Seaboard Coast
-> Line/Seabord System, and that the "X" meant their combination
-> multiplied the effectiveness of the merged companies, or that "X"
-> represented the additional vigor that would be obtained by the
-> merger.      As I recall, by this time the C&O (and the management of
-> the combined company) did not like the term "Chessie System" and
-> rigorously avoided its use. ___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.20 [N
maybe so, I used to work Patrol Security before I became a Paramedic,
and one of my Patrol site was a CSX office, and they said that was what
it stood for, because being a railfan I couldn't pass up the opportunity
to find out so I asked...
