On May 7, 2007, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of CSX Corporation (the “Company”) authorized an increase in the Company’s share repurchase program from $2 billion to $3 billion.

CSX will repurchase the shares from time to time for cash in open market transactions or in privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. The timing and amount of repurchase transactions will be determined by the Company's management based on their evaluation of market conditions, share price and other factors. At its discretion, management may terminate or suspend the repurchase program at any time, subject to the limitations of the Company’s insider trading policy.

Also on May 7, 2007, the Board approved a $0.15 per share quarterly cash dividend payable on September 14, 2007 to shareholders of record as of August 31, 2007, which represents a 25% increase from the current quarterly cash dividend payable June 15, 2007.

A copy of the press release announcing the increase in the Company’s share repurchase program and quarterly cash dividend is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

On May 8, 2007, members of the Company’s management conducted a presentation at the Bear Stearns Global Transportation Conference.  The presentation provides additional information on various financial measures. A copy of the presentation used at the conference is attached as Exhibit 99.2.
