 MH> I'd like to know where you got this information from...because this is
 MH> the first time I've ever heard that vanicular for CSX.  The X stands
 MH> for Corporation, as is on many freight cars UTLX, GATX, etc...
 MH> The C stands for Chessie System
 MH> The S stands for Seaboard System.
         The "X" at the end of reporting marks means that they are
privately owned, i.e., not owned by a railroad but by some other
company.  It doesn't stand for "corporation" or anything else.
         Similarly, "Z" as the last character in reporting marks
indicates a highway trailer, and "U" means a container (no
chassis).  JBHU containers are very common on the highways here
(on J.B. Hunt chassis, of course, but without the chassis when on
container trains).
         CSX's reporting marks are CSXT; they can't end in "X"
since they're a railroad.
