ITEM 3.    Legal Proceedings. A numberLEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Please see the information set forth on pages 43 of legal actions, other than the environmental matters described below, are pending against CSXTthis document in which claims are made in substantial amounts. Management does not currently expect that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows“Management’s Narrative Analysis of the Company. CSXT has been identified, together with other parties, as a potentially responsible party in a numberResults of governmental investigationsOperations,” under the caption “Casualty, Legal and actions relating to environmentally impaired sites. Such sites frequently involve other waste generators and disposal companies to whom costs associated with site investigation and cleanup may be allocated or from whom such costs may be recovered. Due to the number of parties involved at many of these sites, the wide range of costs of possible remediation alternatives, changing cleanup technology, the length of time over which these matters develop and evolving governmental standards, it is not always possible to estimate precisely the Company's liability for the costs associated with the assessment and remediation of contaminated sites. CSXT maintained reserves for 106 environmental sites at year-end 1994. CSXT periodically reviews its environmental reserves to determine whether additional provisions are necessary. Based on current information, CSXT believes its reserves are adequate to meet remedial actions to comply with present laws and regulations. Although CSXT's financial results could be significantly affected in any future quarterly reporting period in which CSXT incurred substantial remedial expenses at a number of these and other sites, CSXT believes the ultimate liability for these matters will not materially affect its overall financial position, results of operations and cash flows. - 5 - PAGE 6 ItemEnvironmental Reserves”.

ITEM 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is subject to risk relating to changes in the price of diesel fuel. At the end of 2002, the Company had not entered into any long-term commitments for forward fuel purchases. The Company’s average annual fuel consumption is approximately 570 million gallons. A one-cent change in the price per gallon of fuel would impact fuel expense by approximately $6 million.

CSXT participates in the CSX cash management plan, under which excess cash is advanced to CSX for investment. CSX than makes cash funds available to CSXT as needed for use in its operations. CSXT and CSX are committed to repay all amounts due on demand should circumstances require. CSXT is charged for borrowings or compensated for investments based on returns earned by the plan portfolio. At December 27, 2002 and December 28, 2001, CSXT had deficit balances of $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, relating to its participation in the CSX cash management plan, which is included in Due to Parent Company in the Statement of Financial Position. A 1% change in interest rates would have impacted annual interest expense on the plan by approximately $13 million in 2002 and $11 million in 2001.

CSXT had $101 million and $108 million of floating rate debt outstanding at December 27, 2002 and December 28, 2001, respectively. A 1% change in interest rates would have impacted annual interest expense on floating-rate debt by approximately $1 million in 2002 and 2001.

Materials and Supplies

Materials and supplies consist primarily of fuel and items for replacement and maintenance of track and equipment, and are carried at average cost.

Properties Main line

All properties are stated at cost, less an allowance for accumulated depreciation. Rail assets, including main-line track, locomotives and freight cars are depreciated using the group-life method. This method pools similar assets by road and equipment type and then depreciates each group as a whole. The majority of the Company’s total property is accounted for under the group-life method. Other property is depreciated using the straight-line method on a group basis using a unit-of- - 16 - PAGE 17 CSX TRANSPORTATION, INC.

Revenue & Expense Recognition

Transportation revenue and expense is recognized proportionately as a shipmentfreight moves from origin to destination ondestination. Other revenue, which includes switching, demurrage and incidental service charges, as well as interline switching settlements, is recognized when the CSXT system. service is performed.

Environmental Costs

The Company incurs costs for environmental corrective efforts, such as the study and clean-up of environmental contamination. Environmental costs thatare charged to expense when they relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to remediating an existing condition caused by past operations and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed.generation. Liabilities for environmental corrective efforts are recorded when CSXT'sCSXT’s responsibility for environmental remedial efforts is (1) deemed probable, and (2) the costsamount can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the completion of a feasibility study or CSXT'sthe Company’s commitment to a formal plan of action. Financial Instruments The company does not and has not traded in derivative financial instruments and there were no significant derivative financial instruments outstandingEnvironmental reserves at December 30, 1994. 27, 2002 and December 28, 2001 were $35 million and $32 million, respectively.

Casualty Reserves

Casualty reserves represent accruals for the uninsured portion of personal injury, occupational injury (asbestos, carpal tunnel, etc.) and accident claims. These reserves are recorded upon the first reporting of a claim, and estimates are updated as information develops. The amount of liability accrued is based on the type and severity of the claim and an estimate of future claims development based on current trends and historical data. The Company believes it has recorded liabilities in sufficient amounts to cover all identified claims and estimates of incurred but not reported personal injury and accident claims. Unreported occupational injuries are not subject to reasonable estimation, thus no provision is made for incurred but not reported occupational injuries. Personal injury, occupational injury and accident liabilities amount to $395 million and $435 million at December 27, 2002 and December 28, 2001, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In 2002, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” was issued. This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. CSXT is required to adopt this statement for fiscal year 2003. Under the group-life method, the Company accrues removal costs as part of its depreciation expense. This effectively results in establishing a liability in accumulated depreciation in excess of any salvage value for cross ties. The Company is assessing the effect of adopting this statement and expects that it will record a cumulative effect of accounting change to remove any such liability accrued to date in the first quarter of 2003. On an ongoing basis, depreciation expense will be reduced, while material supplies and other expenses will be increased. The change in operating income is expected to be immaterial.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires that management make estimates in reporting the amounts of certain assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Significant estimates using management judgment are made for the following areas:

1.Casualty, legal and environmental reserves
2.Depreciation policies for its assets under the group-life method
3.Pension and postretirement medical plan accounting

NOTE 2.    INTEGRATED RAIL OPERATIONS WITH CONRAIL

Background

CSX and Norfolk Southern Corporation (“Norfolk Southern”) completed the acquisition of Conrail Inc. (“Conrail”) in May 1997. Conrail owns the primary freight railroad system serving the Northeastern United States, and its rail network extends throughout several Midwestern states and into Canada. CSX and Norfolk Southern, through a jointly owned acquisition entity, hold economic interests in Conrail of 42% and 58%, respectively, and voting interests of 50% each. CSX and Norfolk Southern operate over allocated portions of the Conrail lines.

CSXT and Norfolk Southern Railway Company (“Norfolk Southern Railway”), the rail subsidiary of Norfolk Southern, operate their respective portions of the Conrail system pursuant to various operating agreements. Under these agreements, the railroads pay operating fees to Conrail for the use of right-of-way and rent for the use of equipment. Conrail continues to provide rail services in certain shared geographic areas (“Shared Asset Areas”) for the joint benefit of CSXT and Norfolk Southern Railway, for which it is compensated on the basis of usage by the respective railroads.

Accounting and Financial Reporting Effects

CSXT’s operating revenue includes revenue from traffic previously moving on Conrail. Operating expenses include costs incurred to handle that traffic and operate the former Conrail lines. Operating expense includes an expense category, “Conrail Operating Fees, Rents and Services,” which reflects:

1.Right-of-way usage fees and equipment rental payments to Conrail
2.Transportation, switching and terminal service charges provided by Conrail in the Shared Asset Areas that Conrail operates for the joint benefit of CSXT and Norfolk Southern Railway

As a result of the fourth quarterintegration, a number of 1991,employees’ positions at Conrail were eliminated and certain duplicate facilities were closed. Under the agreements among the parties, CSXT recorded a pretax chargeand Norfolk Southern Railway assumed various obligations related to providethese actions. During 2002, 2001, and 2000, CSXT incurred approximately $30, $35, and $42 million, respectively, of costs related to lease payments on certain Conrail facilities no longer being used after the integration, and separation and relocation costs of Conrail employees. These costs are reflected in “Materials, Supplies and Other” expense in the consolidated statement of earnings.

The agreement under which CSXT operates its allocated portion of the Conrail route system has an initial term of 25 years and may be renewed at CSXT’s option for two five-year terms. Operating fees paid to Conrail under the agreement are subject to adjustment every six years based on the fair value of the underlying system. Lease agreements for the estimatedConrail equipment operated by CSXT cover varying terms. CSXT is responsible for all costs of implementing work force reductions, improvements in productivityoperating, maintaining, and other cost reductions. The charge amountedimproving the routes and equipment under these agreements. On December 27, 2002, future minimum payments to $647 million on a pretax basisConrail under the operating, equipment and reduced 1991 net earnings by $409 million. In the second quarter of 1992, CSXT recorded a charge principally to recognize the estimated additional costs of buying out certain trip-based compensation elements paid to train crew employees. These compensation elementsshared area agreements were based upon collective bargaining agreements with train crew employees. The additional pretax charge amounted to $664 million and reduced net earnings for 1992 by $427 million. The $1.3 billion in combined charges includes $1.2 billion for reductions from three- to two-member train crews and for buying out productivity funds and short-crew allowances. CSXT has reached labor agreements across all portions of its rail system where it is allowed to operate trains with two- member crews. The trip-based compensation amounts vary by labor agreement. Upon ratification of the labor agreements, each affected employee received a cash payment. Each employee then elected to receive the remainder of their negotiated settlement in the form of a lump-sum payment or deferral to be paid upon resignation, retirement or death. CSXT expects 90% of the payments will have been made by the year 2019. As of December 30, 1994, payments totaling $637 million have been recorded as a reduction of the aggregate liabilities for the productivity charges. The remaining liability consists of $376 million for employee separations and associated costs (see Note 9). Based upon current negotiated agreements, CSXT expects the remaining liability of $376 million to be adequate. NOTE 3.

The loan is payable in full on demand. At December 27, 2002, and December 28, 2001, $115 million and $125 million, respectively, was outstanding under the agreement. Interest on the loan is due from CTI semi- annually commencing June 30, 1994, withpayable monthly at 0.45% over the entire principal amount due on January 1,LIBOR rate, and was 1.46% at December 27, 2002 and 2.56% at December 28, 2001. Interest incomeexpense related to the CTI loan was $2 million. During 1992, CSXT entered into an agreement with CTRC to sell, on a revolving basis, without recourse, all existing accounts receivable to CTRC. In 1993, this agreement was amended to sell only freight accounts receivable to CTRC. As of December 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993, CSXT had sold $579 million and $556 million, respectively, of accounts receivable to CTRC. During 1994, CSXT repaid the remaining formal long-term borrowings from CSX outstanding at December 31, 1993. Interest expense on borrowings from CSX was $3 million, $9$6 million and $11$7 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. During 1989, CSXT's pension plan for salaried employees was merged with the CSX Corporation Plan, and all assets of CSXT's plan were transferred to the CSX merged plan. Since the plans were merged, CSX has allocated to CSXT a portion of the net pension expense for the CSX Corporation Plan based on CSXT's relative level of participation in the merged plan which considers the assetsfiscal years ended December 27, 2002, December 28, 2001, and personnel previously in the CSXT plan. The allocated expense from the CSX Corporation Plan amounted to $42 million in 1994, $32 million in 1993 and $23 million in 1992. - 21 - PAGE 22 December 29, 2000, respectively.

NOTE 6.    RELATED PARTIES, Continued Included in Materials, Supplies and Other expense are amounts related to a management service fee charged by CSX, data processing related charges from CSX Technology, Inc., and the reimbursement, under an operating agreement, from CSX Intermodal, Inc. (CSXI), for costs incurred by

CSXT related to intermodal operations. The management service fee charged by CSX represents compensation for certain corporate services provided to CSXT. These services include development of corporate policy and long-range strategic plans, allocation of capital, placement of debt, maintenance of employee benefit plans, internal audit and tax administration. The data processing related charges are compensation to CSX Technology, Inc. for the development, implementation and maintenance of computer systems, software and associated documentation for the day to day operations of CSXT. CSX Technology and CSXI are wholly-owned subsidiaries of CSX. Materials, Supplies and Other expense includes net expense of $192 million, $214 million and $128 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, relating to the above arrangements. The $86 million increase from 1992 to 1993 was predominately the result of an increase in the management fee charged by CSX and a one-time intercompany transfer to CSXI in 1992. During 1991, CSXT entered into an operating lease agreementparticipates with CSXI for 3,400 rebuilt coal gondola cars. The cars, which were previously owned and rebuilt by CSXT, were sold to CSXI for $117 million which resulted in no gain. These cars are presently being leased by CSXT through March 2006. In addition, CSXT is leasing 65 locomotives from CSXI pursuant to a pre-existing operating lease agreement acquired by CSXI from a third party at year-end 1992. These locomotives are being leased by CSXT through May 2008. The minimum lease payments for the locomotives and coal gondola cars discussed above are approximately $18 million annually. These lease payments are included in the minimum lease payments as discussed in Note 13. During 1988, CSXT participated with Sea-LandSL Service Inc. (Sea-Land)(“SL Service”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSX, in four sale-leaseback arrangements. Under these arrangements, Sea-LandSL Service sold equipment to a third party and CSXT leased the equipment and assigned the lease to Sea-Land. Sea-LandSL Service. SL Service is obligated for all lease payments and other associated equipment expenses. If Sea-LandSL Service defaults on its obligations under the arrangements, CSXT would assume the asset lease rights and obligations of $161approximately $37 million at December 30, 1994, under the arrangements. CSX purchases futures and options contracts27, 2002. These leases were assumed by Maersk as a partial hedge against fluctuations in fuel oil prices on behalfpart of CSXT and other CSX subsidiaries. Gains and losses related to hedges of existing assets or liabilities are deferred and recognized over the expected remaining lifeits purchase of the relatedCSX international liner business and will be assumed by Horizon Lines LLC (formerly CSX Lines) as part of its ongoing domestic shipping business. CSXT believes that Maersk and Horizon Lines will fulfill their contractual commitments with respect to such leases and that CSXT will have no further liability for those obligations

The amount of liability accrued is based upon field reports and liabilities for personal injuries are based uponon the type and severity of the injuryclaim, and the usean estimate of future claims development based on current trends and historical data. (c) IncludesThe Company believes it has recorded liabilities in sufficient amounts to cover all identified claims and estimates of incurred but not reported, personal injury and accident claims. Unreported occupational injuries are not subject to reasonable estimation, thus no provision is made for incurred but not reported occupational injuries.

Separation Liability

Separation liabilities at December 27, 2002 relate to productivity charges recorded in 1991 and 1992 to provide for the transferestimated costs of $156 millionimplementing workforce reductions, improvements in 1994productivity and other cost reductions. The remaining liabilities are expected to a separation-related pension obligation and the reallocation of $95 million in 1993 to other negotiated settlements contemplated by the 1991 Productivity Charge. The transfer for 1994 represents the future cost of a pension obligation for certain train crew employees arising from the 1992 buyout of trip-based compensation (see Note 2). The 1993 reallocation adjusted for anbe paid out over accrual of separation liabilities and an under accrual of amounts recorded for other negotiated settlements. - 25 - PAGE 26 CSX TRANSPORTATION, INC.

Substantially all of the properties and certain other assets of CSXT and its subsidiaries are pledged as security for various long-term debt issues. Interest payments, net of amounts capitalized, totaled $53 million, $74 million and $85 million, respectively, for 1994, 1993 and 1992. NOTE 11. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments as required by SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments." SFAS 107 defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. 1994 1993 ---------------- ---------------- Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Amount Value Amount Value -------- ----- -------- ----- Assets: Cash and Cash Equivalents $452 $452 $272 $272 Accounts and Notes Receivable 93 93 98 98 Liabilities: Accounts Payable 511 511 457 457 Long-Term Debt 680 650 680 714 - 26 - PAGE 27 CSX TRANSPORTATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED NOTE 11. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, Continued The following methods and assumptions were used by the company in estimating fair values for financial instruments: Cash and Cash Equivalents The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of the instruments. Current Assets and Current Liabilities The carrying amounts reported in the statement of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments approximate their fair values. Long-Term Debt The fair values of the company's long-term debt have been estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based upon the company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. NOTE 12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. Pension Plans CSX and its subsidiaries, including CSXT, have defined benefit pension plans principally for salaried employees. The plans provide for eligible employees to receive benefits primarily based on years of service and compensation rates near retirement. Contributions to the plans are made on the basis of not less than the minimum funding standards set forth in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. See Note 6 for the allocated pension expense from the CSX Corporation Plan. Savings Plans CSXT has established savings plans for virtually all full-time salaried employees and certain employees covered by collective bargaining units of CSXT and subsidiary companies. Eligible employees may contribute from 1% to 15% of their annual compensation in 1% multiples to these plans. CSXT matches eligible employees' contributions in an amount equal to the lesser of 50% of each participating employees' contribution or 3% of their annual compensation. In addition CSXT contributes fixed amounts for each participating employee covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Expense for these plans was $22 million for each of the years 1994, 1993 and 1992. - 27 - PAGE 28 CSX TRANSPORTATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED NOTE 12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS, Continued Other Post-Retirement Benefit Plans In addition to the CSX defined benefit pension plans, CSXT participates in two defined benefit post-retirement plans along with CSX and other affiliates which cover most full-time salaried employees. One plan provides medical benefits and another provides life insurance benefits. The post-retirement health care plan is contributory, with retiree contributions adjusted annually, and contains other cost-sharing features such as deductibles and coinsurance. The accounting for the health care plan anticipates future cost-sharing changes to the written plan that are consistent with the company's expressed intent to increase the retiree contribution rate annually for the expected medical inflation rate for that year. The life insurance plan is non- contributory. The company's current policy is to fund the cost of the post- retirement health care and life insurance benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis, as in prior years. The following table shows the two plans' combined status reconciled with the amounts recognized in CSXT's statement of financial position: Life Medical Insurance Plan Plan 1994 1993 1994 1993 ---- ---- ---- ---- Accumulated Post-Retirement Benefit Obligation: Retirees $144 $154 $61 $67 Fully Eligible Active Participants 12 13 2 2 Other Active Participants 18 20 1 2 ---- ---- --- --- Accumulated Post-Retirement Benefit Obligation 174 187 64 71 Unrecognized Prior Service Cost 13 17 4 4 Unrecognized Net Loss (22) (40) (5) (10) ---- ---- --- --- Net Post-Retirement Benefit Obligation $165 $164 $63 $65 ==== ==== === === Net periodic post-retirement benefit expense for 1994, 1993 and 1992 was $21 million, $16 million and $22 million, respectively. - 28 - PAGE 29 CSX TRANSPORTATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED NOTE 12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS, Continued Other Post-Retirement Benefit Plans, Continued The weighted-average annual assumed rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits (i.e., health care cost trend rate) for the medical plan is 11% for 1994-1995 and is assumed to decrease gradually to 5.5% by 2005 and remain at that level thereafter. The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on the amounts reported. For example, increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation for the medical plan as of December 31, 1994 by 9%, and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic post-retirement benefit expense for 1994 by $3 million. The weighted-average discount rate used in determining the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation was 8.25% and 7.25% at December 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993, respectively. Other Plans Under collective bargaining agreements, the company participates in a number of union-sponsored, multi-employer benefit plans. Payments to these plans are made as part of aggregate assessments generally based on hours worked, tonnage moved or a combination thereof. The administrators of the multi- employer plans generally allocate funds received from participating companies to various health and welfare benefit plans and pension plans. Current information regarding such allocations has not been provided by the administrators. Total contributions of $125 million, $139 million and $125 million were made to these plans in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Certain officers and key employees of CSXT participate in stock purchase, performance and award plans of CSX. CSXT is allocated its share of any cost to participate in these plans. NOTE 13. SUMMARY OF COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES. Lease Commitments CSXT leases equipment under agreements with terms up15 to 20 years. Non-cancelable, long-term leases generally include provisions for maintenance, and options to purchase at fair value and to extend the terms. At December 30, 1994, minimum equipment rentals under non-cancelable operating leases totaled approximately $178 million for 1995, $171 million for 1996, $173 million for 1997, $176 million for 1998, $160 million for 1999 and $1.5 billion thereafter. Rent expense on equipment operating leases, including net daily rental charges on railroad operating equipment of $220 million, $214 million and $204 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, amounted to $392 million in 1994, $387 million in 1993 and $383 million in 1992. Deferred gains arising from sale-leaseback transactions are being amortized over periods not exceeding 20 years and have reduced rent expense by $6 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. - 29 - PAGE 30 CSX TRANSPORTATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED NOTE 13. SUMMARY OF COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, Continued Purchase Commitment CSXT entered into an agreement to purchase 300 locomotives. This large single order covers CSXT's normal locomotive replacement needs for 1994 through 1997. This purchase agreement will introduce alternating current traction technology to CSXT's locomotive fleet. CSXT took delivery of 50 direct current and 30 alternating current locomotives in 1994, and the remaining 220 alternating current units will be delivered during 1995-1997. Contingent Liabilities and Long-Term Operating Agreements CSXT and its subsidiaries are contingently liable individually and jointly with others principally as guarantors of long-term debt and obligations, primarily related to leased properties, joint ventures and joint facilities. These contingent obligations amounted to approximately $185 million at December 30, 1994. CSXT has various long-term railroad operating agreements that allow for exclusive operating rights over various railroad lines. Under these agreements, CSXT is obligated to pay usage fees of approximately $10 million annually. The terms of these agreements range from 30 to 40 years.

Environmental

CSXT is a party into various proceedings involving private parties and regulatory agencies related to environmental issues. CSXT has been identified as a potentially responsible party in a number of investigations and actions relating to 106(“PRP”) at approximately 94 environmentally impaired sites that are, or may be subject to remedial action under the Federal Superfund Statute ("Superfund"(“Superfund”) or correspondingsimilar state statutes. ManyA number of these proceedings are based on allegations that CSXT, or its railroad predecessors, sent hazardous substances to the facilities in question for disposal. Such proceedings arising under Superfund or correspondingsimilar state statutes typicallycan involve numerous other waste generators and disposal companies and seek to allocate or recover costs associated with site investigation and cleanup, which could be substantial. The assessment

Based upon such reviews and updates of the sites with which it is involved, CSXT has recorded and at least quarterly reviews for adequacy, reserves to cover estimated contingent future environmental costs with respect to such sites. The recorded liabilities for estimated future environmental costs at December 30, 199427, 2002 and December 31, 199328, 2001, were $140$35 million and $131$32 million, respectively. These recorded liabilities, which are undiscounted, include amounts representing CSXT'sCSXT’s estimate of unasserted claims, which CSXT believes to be immaterial. TheA liability has been accrued for future costs forof all sites where the company'sCompany’s obligation is (1) deemed probable and (2) where such costs can be reasonably estimated. The liability includes the estimated future costs for remediation and restoration of sites as well as any significant ongoing monitoring costs, but excludes any anticipated insurance recoveries. The majority of the December 30, 199427, 2002 environmental liability is expected to be paid out over the next fiveseven years, funded by cash generated from operations.

The companyCompany does not currently possess sufficient information to reasonably estimate the amounts of additional liabilities, if any, on some sites until completion of future environmental studies. In addition, latent conditions at any given location could result in exposure, the amount and materiality of which cannot presently be reliably estimated. Based uponHowever, based on information currently available however, the companyCompany believes that its environmental reserves are adequate to accomplish remedial actions to comply with present laws and regulations. The company believesregulations, and that the ultimate liability for these matters will not materially affect its overall results of operations and financial condition.

NOTE 11.    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are estimated by reference to quoted prices from market sources and financial institutions, as well as other valuation techniques. Long-term debt is the only financial instrument of the Company with a fair value significantly different from its carrying amount. At December 27, 2002, the fair value of long-term debt, including current maturities, was $1.2 billion, compared with a carrying amount of $1.1 billion. At December 28, 2001, the fair value of long-term debt, including current maturities, was $1.3 billion, compared with a carrying amount of $1.2 billion. The fair value of long-term debt has been estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based upon the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of financing arrangements.

NOTE 12.    EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

CSXT, in conjunction with CSX and its subsidiaries, sponsors defined benefit pension plans principally for salaried employees. The plans provide eligible employees with retirement benefits based principally on years of service and compensation rates near retirement. CSX allocates to CSXT a portion of the pension expense or benefit for the CSX pension plans based on CSXT’s relative level of participation. The allocated expense from the various CSX pension plans amounted to credits of $4 million in 2002, $3 million in 2001 and $2 million in 2000.

In addition to the defined benefit pension plans, CSXT participates with CSX and other affiliates in two plans that provide medical and life insurance benefits to most full-time salaried employees upon their retirement. The postretirement medical plan is contributory (partially funded by retiree), with retiree contributions adjusted annually. The life insurance plan is non-contributory. CSX allocates to CSXT a portion of the expense for these plans based on CSXT’s relative level of participation. The allocated expense amounted to $41 million in 2002, $31 million in 2001, and $22 million in 2000.

Other Plans

CSXT maintains savings plans for virtually all full-time salaried employees and certain employees covered by collective bargaining agreements of CSXT and subsidiary companies. Expense associated with these plans was $12 million for 2002, $13 million for 2001, and $14 million for 2000.

Under collective bargaining agreements, the Company participates in a number of union-sponsored, multi-employer benefit plans. Payments to these plans are made as part of aggregate assessments generally based on number of employees covered, hours worked, tonnage moved or a combination thereof. Total contributions of $312 million, $285 million, and $242 million, respectively, were made to these plans in 2002, 2001 and 2000.

Certain officers and key employees of CSXT participate in stock purchase, performance and award plans of CSX. CSXT is allocated its share of any cost to participate in these plans.

Long-term Operating Agreements

In addition to its contractual arrangement to operate specified portions of Conrail’s rail system, CSXT has various long-term railroad operating agreements that allow for exclusive operating rights over various railroad lines. Under these agreements, CSXT is obligated to pay usage fees of approximately $10 million annually. The terms of these agreements range from 30 to 40 years.

Self-Insurance

The Company obtains substantial amounts of commercial insurance for potential losses for third-party liability and property damages. Reasonable levels of risk ($35 million for property and $25 million for liability per occurrence) are also retained on a self-insurance basis. Using a combination of third party and self-insurance allows the Company to realize savings on insurance premium costs and preserves flexibility in achieving the best insurance solutions for various categories of risks.

Contract Settlement

In July 2002, the Company received $44 million as the first of two payments to settle a contract dispute. During 2002, the Company recognized approximately $7 million of this first payment in other income as this amount related to prior periods. The remaining $37 million will be recognized ratably over the contract period which ends in 2020.The second payment of $23 million was received on January 2, 2003 and will be recognized over the contract period which ends in 2020. The results of this settlement will provide approximately $3 million in annual pretax earnings through 2020.

Other Legal Proceedings

A number of other legal actions other than environmental, are pending against CSXT in which claims are made in substantial amounts. While the ultimate results of environmental investigations, lawsuits and claims involving CSXTthese legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not currently expect that the resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on theCSXT’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company is also party to a number of actions, the resolution of which could result in gain realization in amounts that could be material to results of operations in the quarter received.

MANAGEMENT’S NARRATIVE ANALYSIS ANDOF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Millions

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Operating Revenue

CSXT categorizes revenues in three main areas:

1.Merchandise, which includes the following markets:
nPhosphates and fertilizer
nMetals
nFood and consumer
nPaper and forest
nAgricultural
nChemicals
nMinerals
nEmerging markets
2.Automotive
3.Coal, Coke and Iron Ore

Overall rail revenues were down $79 million to $6.0 billion in 2002, with increases in merchandise and automotive revenues being offset by lower coal revenues. CSXT’s pricing programs and product mix helped overcome a 3% decrease in carloads in 2002.

Merchandise Revenue

Overall merchandise revenues were up 1%, or $47 million in 2002 over 2001. Improvements in phosphates and fertilizers, chemicals, emerging markets, metals and paper and forest products more than offset decreases in minerals, agricultural products and food and consumer products. Pricing programs and favorable mix helped the Company offset a small decrease in merchandise carloads in 2002 as compared to 2001.

Automotive Revenue

Automotive revenues improved 6%, or $51 million in 2002 as a result of Dollars) The following information should be read in conjunction with all other items in this report including "Business"yield improvement driven by favorable mix and extended linehauls. Year-over-year volume increases were driven by higher light truck production levels and aggressive manufacturer incentives that stimulated automobile sales during 2002.

Operating Expense

Total operating expenses decreased $197 million, or 4% in 2002 as compared to 2001. Cost reductions in most expense categories were somewhat offset by increases in depreciation. Also, 2001 included $60 million relating to the New Orleans litigation settlement.

Fuel costs decreased $76 million in 2002, of Operations --------------------- CSXT posted three consecutive quarters of recordwhich $69 million is attributable to lower fuel prices. The net impact on operating income of reduced fuel price was $44 million since $25 million of fuel surcharge revenue was discontinued.

Labor and fringe costs decreased $21 million year-over-year including savings from reductions in 1994.overall employment. These resultssavings were offset by increased labor costs relating to cost of living wage increases. Employee count was approximately 950 lower at the end of 2002 as compared to 2001.

Building and equipment costs were down $7 million mainly due to strong traffic across virtually all merchandise commoditiescontinued reductions in car hire, as the railroad took cars offline and continued success in cost reductions. CSXT also rebounded from the 1993 coal strikes to yield notable increases in domestic coal tonnage. These results were achieved in spite of lower export coal loadings. CSXTran more efficiently.

Conrail operating income in 1994 totaled $780 million, $189 million above 1993's $591 millionfees, rents and $94 million above 1992's comparable $686 million. This latter figure excludes a net productivity charge of $664 million associated with labor reductions. Including this charge, rail operating income was $22services decreased $7 million in 1992.

Transportation operating revenue totaled $4.38 billion in 1993 and $4.43 billion in 1992. CSXT overcame severe winter conditions in early 1994 and weaker than expected export coal traffic2001, due to increase coal tonnage to 153.7 million tons vs. 144.1 million tons in 1993. Domestic coal shipments rose 8% as utility demand, driven by the need to rebuild stockpiles depleted from the 1993 strikes and the harsh winter weather, surged during the year. CSXT's export shipments faced a number of market obstacles, including decreased demand and increased foreign competition. In 1994, export coal shipments decreased to 16 million tons from 16.7 million tons in 1993. CSXT anticipates a modest recovery in the U.S. export coal market and slightly better domestic coal loadings in 1995. The implementation of Phase I of the Clean Air Act in 1995 is expected to provide a net tonnage gain for CSXT, as an increase in the production of high-quality, low-sulfur coal at CSXT-served mines should more than offset any displacement caused by the Act. CSXT's total merchandise carloads and revenue increased 6% and 5%, respectively, over 1993 levels, reflecting the strength of the U.S. economy and successful efforts to expand market share. These same figures both rose 10% vs. 1992's volume and revenue. CSXT's automotive carloads increased 9% from a strong 1993 traffic base. This growth, driven by increased U.S. auto production, soaring consumer demand and improved service, pushed automotive revenue up 7% in 1994. Demand for plastic products from the auto industry, housing construction and the consumer goods market helped spur a 4% carload growth in the chemicals market. Bulk Intermodal Distribution (BIDS) terminals, where customers transfer and store bulk chemicals, gave CSXT a significant competitive advantage in this market. The customer response to this service is reflected in the 5% increase in chemicals revenue for 1994. - 35 - PAGE 36 Minerals traffic and revenue for the year improved 12% and 10%, respectively, propelled by growth in highway construction and demand for sand used in auto castings. Shipments in the food and consumer category, which includes government traffic and consumer durables, increased 6%, reflecting strong industrial production, particularly in appliances. Agricultural products experienced a surge in export grain traffic late in the year, but it was not enough to offset the devastating effect of the 1993 floods that caused a short supply of grain through the first three quarters of 1994. Strong domestic feed grain loadings to the Southeast poultry farms provided a solid base of traffic during the year. Carloads declined 7%, while revenue decreased only 3%reduced transportation costs, fewer accidents as a result of vigorous safety initiatives and adjustments to estimated state and local tax liabilities to reflect actual assessments. These decreases were offset by higher legal fees and maintenance costs, and $40 million in favorable yield and mix changes. The metals industry enjoyed oneinsurance settlements received in 2001 that were not repeated in 2002.

Depreciation expense increased $21 million compared to 2001, as a result of its best years ever,a higher depreciable asset base.

Operating Income

Operating income increased by $118 million to $577 million in 2002 as strong demand from steel mini-mills ledcompared to a 13% carload increase in 1994. New service packages offered by CSXT improved market share and contributed to a 17% gain in revenue. Forest products traffic, which includes lumber, paper and construction materials, improved 2%2001, due to continued housing demandoperating expense decreases noted previously and steady recoverythe New Orleans litigation provision, which adversely affected 2001 operating income. Excluding the 2001 charge for the New Orleans litigation provision, operating income was up $58 million or 11% for the year.

MARKET RISK

The Company is subject to risk relating to changes in the price of diesel fuel. At the end of 2002, the Company had not entered into any commitments for forward fuel purchases. The Company’s average annual fuel consumption is approximately 570 million gallons. A one-cent change in the price per gallon of fuel would impact fuel expense by approximately $6 million.

INTEGRATED RAIL OPERATIONS WITH CONRAIL

Background

CSX and Norfolk Southern Corporation (“Norfolk Southern”) completed the acquisition of Conrail Inc. (“Conrail”) in May 1997. Conrail owns the primary freight railroad system serving the Northeastern United States, and its rail network extends throughout several Midwestern states and into Canada. CSX and Norfolk Southern, through a jointly owned acquisition entity, hold ownership interests in Conrail of 42% and 58%, respectively, and voting interests of 50% each. CSX and Norfolk Southern operate over allocated portions of the paper business. CSXT's market positionConrail lines.

CSXT and Norfolk Southern Railway Company (“Norfolk Southern Railway”), the rail subsidiary of Norfolk Southern, operate their respective portions of the Conrail system pursuant to various operating agreements. Under these agreements, the railroads pay operating fees to Conrail for the use of right-of-way and rent for the use of equipment. Conrail continues to provide rail services in lumber was aidedcertain shared geographic areas (“Shared Asset Areas”) for the joint benefit of CSXT and Norfolk Southern Railway for which it is compensated on the basis of usage by the additionrespective railroads.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of several new lumber distribution centers.financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires that management make estimates in reporting the amounts of certain assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Significant estimates using management judgment are made for the following areas:

1.Casualty, legal and environmental reserves
2.Depreciation policies for its assets under the group-life method
3.Pension and postretirement medical plan accounting

1.    Casualty, legal and environmental reserves

Casualty Reserve Management

Casualty reserves represent accruals for the uninsured portion of personal injury, occupational injury (asbestos, carpal tunnel, etc.) and accident claims. These reserves are recorded upon the first reporting of a claim, and estimates are updated as information develops. The phosphatesamount of liability accrued is based on the type and fertilizer category experienced an 11% growthseverity of the claim and estimate of future claims development based on current trends and historical data. The Company believes it has recorded liabilities in traffic as export loads rose with increased foreign demand. The distance CSXT hauls export shipmentssufficient amounts to cover all identified claims and estimates of phosphate from Florida's Bone Valleyincurred but not reported personal injury and accident claims. Unreported occupational injuries are not subject to reasonable estimation, thus no provision is made for incurred but not reported occupational injuries.

Estimates for all of these claims are subject to significant uncertainty relating to the Portoutcomes of Tampa is far less thannegotiated settlements and other developments. As facts and circumstances change, the Company may have to change its estimates, and changes could have a material impact on the Company’s financial results. The Company reviews its reserves quarterly and makes adjustments accordingly. Adverse verdicts, catastrophic accidents and legal settlements are events that for domestic moveshave caused the Company to the U.S. Midwest, leading to lower revenue-per-carload comparisons. Although merchandise traffic experienced significant gains in 1994, CSXT anticipates continued strengthrevise estimates in the principal markets it servespast. Occupational injury, personal injury and accident liabilities amount to $395 million and $435 million at December 27, 2002 and December 28, 2001, respectively. The net decrease of this liability in 2002 is the U.S. industrial sectorresult of cash payments being greater than expense recorded.

See additional information in 1995. CombinedNote 9, Casualty, Environmental and Other Reserves.

Legal Reserves

In accordance with selective price increases,SFAS 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” an accrual for a modest improvementloss contingency is expected in merchandise traffic and revenue in 1995. CSXT undertook an effortestablished if information available prior to re-engineer key components of its service delivery to meet customer needs better and enhance service reliability in 1994. In the future, the unit hopes to strengthen traffic levels in the various commodity groups by further satisfying customers through improved performance. CSXT transportation operating expense for 1994 was $3.9 billion, a 2% increase over 1993 and 1992, excluding the previously mentioned 1992 productivity charge. These results reflect the continuing effortsissuance of the rail unitfinancial statements indicates that it is (1) probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements, and (2) the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If no accrual is made for a loss contingency because one or both of these conditions is not met, or if an exposure to reduce expensesloss exists in excess of the amount accrued, disclosure of the contingency is made when there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss or an additional loss may have been incurred. The Company evaluates all exposures relating to legal liabilities on an ongoing basis and control costs while retaining its customer focus. Labor and fringe benefits expenserecords reserves when appropriate under the guidance noted above. The Company increased 3%a reserve in 2001 to $1.86 billion, vs. $1.8 billion in 1993 and $1.83 billion in 1992.

Environmental Management

CSXT is a 4% wage increase,party to various proceedings involving private parties and regulatory agencies related to environmental issues. CSXT controlled laborhas been identified as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) at approximately 94 environmentally impaired sites that are, or may be, subject to remedial action under the Federal Superfund Statute (“Superfund”) or similar state statutes. A number of these proceedings are based on allegations that CSXT, or its railroad predecessors, sent hazardous substances to the facilities in question for disposal. Such proceedings arising under Superfund or similar state statutes can involve numerous other waste generators and fringe benefits expense.disposal companies and seek to allocate or recover costs associated with site investigation and cleanup, which could be substantial.

CSXT is involved in a number of administrative and judicial proceedings and other clean-up efforts at approximately 230 sites, which include the 94 Superfund sites noted above where it is participating in the study or clean-up of alleged environmental contamination. At least once each quarter, CSXT reviews its role, if any, with respect to each such location, giving consideration to the nature of CSXT’s alleged connection to the location (e.g., generator of waste sent to the site, or owner or operator of the site), the extent of CSXT’s alleged connection (e.g., volume of waste sent to the location and other relevant factors), the accuracy and strength of evidence connecting CSXT to the location, and the number, connection, and financial viability of other named and unnamed PRPs at the location.

Based upon the review process, CSXT has recorded reserves to cover estimated contingent future environmental costs with respect to such sites. The company will continuerecorded liabilities for estimated future environmental costs at December 27, 2002 and December 28, 2001, were $35 million and $32 million, respectively. These liabilities, which are undiscounted, include amounts representing CSXT’s estimate of unasserted claims, which CSXT believes to implement work-force reductionsbe immaterial. A liability has been accrued for future costs of all sites where the Company’s obligation is (1) deemed probable and (2) where such costs can be reasonably estimated. The liability includes future costs for remediation and restoration of sites as well as any significant ongoing monitoring costs, but excludes any anticipated insurance recoveries. The majority of the December 27, 2002 environmental liability is expected to be paid out over the next few years. - 36 - PAGE 37 Asseven years, funded by cash generated from operations.

CSXT, as a participant in national bargaining, is actively engaged in contract negotiationswhich cannot presently be reliably estimated. However, based on information currently available the Company believes its environmental reserves are adequate to accomplish remedial actions to comply with rail labor organizations. CSXT seeks to improvepresent laws and regulations, and that the future competitivenessultimate liability for these matters will not materially affect its overall results of its labor force through these negotiations. CSXT continued to reduce accidents and injuries in 1994, and it remains one of the safest railroads in the industry. Reportable injuries to employees were reduced 20% and train accidents fell 21% by year-end, helping CSXT maintain one of the highest rankings among Class I railroads. The company's progress in safety not only continues to save lives, but increases the quality and reliability of rail service while driving out unnecessary expense. Performance Improvement Team initiatives reduced expenses by more than $350 million from 1991 through 1994. Besides shrinking the cost base, this program has helped conserve capital as improvements are realized in reliability, performance and efficiency throughout the system.

2.    Establishing depreciation policies for its assets under the group-life method

The Company accounts for its rail assets, including main-line track, locomotives and freight cars, to purchases of office supplies - were targeted. Further savings of more than $100 million have been targeted by CSXT for each ofusing the next three years. CSXT will continue to lower its cost base in 1995 and beyond through increased asset utilization, crew-size reductions, improved safety and continued Performance Improvement Team savings. CSXT's property additions for 1994 increased to $676 million from 1993's $569 million and 1992's $539 million. Expenditures for roadway improvements totaled $404 million, or 60% of the total. CSXT's maintenance-of- way program installed or replaced 289 miles of rail in 1994, compared with 400 miles in both 1993 and 1992. The remaining rail property additions included $131 million for locomotives and $109 million for the car fleet.

Eighty new locomotives were added to the fleet, including 30 alternating-current (AC) locomotives. This new AC technology, which provides substantially better tractive effort, or pulling power, will allow CSXT to replace an average of two older units in its existing fleet with each new unit.group-life method. These AC locomotives are the first of 250 fuel-efficient units to be delivered to CSXT through 1997. In late 1994, CSXT resumed repairing and rebuilding freight cars at its Raceland Car Shop in Kentucky. The facility plans to refurbish or rebuild 4,000 coal hopper cars in 1995. Notwithstanding this program, enhanced utilization through improved car turn times will yield a net reduction in the overall car fleet. CSXT is engaged in preliminary negotiations to obtain all its telecommunication services from AT&T. The goal of this transaction would be to provide CSXT with the strategic opportunity to obtain state-of-the-art technology, equipment and services from AT&T, without diverting CSXT's capital and management resources from its core business. The arrangement, if consummated, would enable CSXT to leverage technological enhancements as they become available in the rapidly changing telecommunications industry. The transaction could result in a significant future charge to cover the writedown of certain telecommunications assets and labor separation costs. In 1995, CSXT expects to improve equipment utilization further and increase capital expenditures by approximately 10%,comprise the majority of the Company’s total fixed assets at December 27, 2002. Under the group-life method, the useful lives of rail assets are determined by the performance of a life-study which will goincludes:

nstatistical analysis of historical retirements for each group of property
nevaluation of the current operations
nprevious assessment of the condition of the assets and outlook for their continued use
ncomparison of assets to the same asset groups with other companies.

Events that could cause the Company to change its estimates relating to the lives of its asset groups could be changes in historical results, technological improvements and changes in specific assets. The Company is currently completing life studies on road, track and equipment and will reflect the results in its 2003 financial statements.

3.    Pension and postretirement medical plan accounting

CSXT is allocated expense relating to pension and postretirement medical plans sponsored by its parent, CSX Corporation. The accounting for these plans at the CSX Corporation level is subject to the guidance provided in SFAS No. 87, “Employers Accounting for Pensions,” and SFAS No. 106, “Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions.” Both of these statements require CSX to make certain assumptions relating to the following:

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In addition, cash provided by operating activities included payments2002, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, “Accounting for productivityAsset Retirement Obligations,” was issued. This statement addresses financial accounting and restructuring chargesreporting for legal obligations associated with the retirement of $129 million, $245 milliontangible long-lived assets and $353 millionthe associated asset retirement costs. CSXT is required to adopt this statement for 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Excludingfiscal year 2003. Under the group-life method, the Company accrued removal costs as part of its depreciation expense. This effectively resulted in establishing a liability in accumulated depreciation in excess of any salvage value for cross ties. The Company is assessing the effect of adopting this statement and expects that it will record a cumulative effect of accounting change to remove any such liability accrued to date in the salefirst quarter of receivables2003. On an ongoing basis, depreciation expense will be reduced, while material supplies and other expenses will be increased. The change in operating expense is expected to be immaterial.

Cash usedservices; and statements regarding future economic, industry or market conditions or performance. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by investing activities was $600 million which was $122 million higher than the $478 million used in 1993words or phrases such as “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “project”, and $94 million higher than the $506 million used in 1992. Property additions of $676 million in 1994 increased $107 million from $569 million in 1993, and $137 million from $539 million in 1991. In the late 1980's, the company launched a major roadway, equipment and locomotive improvement program. Completion of this program has allowed a return to a normalized capital budget that assures the required level of routine maintenance, customer service and safe operation. Cash used by financing activities decreased to $116 million in 1994 from $128 million in 1993 and decreased $142 million from $258 million in 1992. The 1994 decrease in cash used was primarily the result of lower repayments of public and affiliated company debt. Cash and cash equivalents increased $180 million during 1994 to a level of $452 million versus $272 million at the end of 1993 and increased $204 million over the 1992 level of $248 million. Working capital increased by $295 million to a year-end deficit of $311 million in 1994, compared to $606 million in 1993 and $931 million in 1991. A working capital deficit is not unusual for CSXT and does not indicate a lack of liquidity. CSXT maintains adequate current assets to satisfy current liabilities when they are due and has sufficient financial resource capacity, primarily from access to advances from CSX, to manage its day-to-day cash requirements. Environmental concerns have drawn considerable attention. CSXT, like many American companies today, faces the challenge of dealing with this issue and is addressing its environmental responsibilities and managing the related expenditures. Environmental management is an important part of CSXT's strategic planning, which includes promotion of policies and procedures that emphasize environmental awareness throughout the company. - 39 - PAGE 40 The following financial ratios are measures of the condition of CSXT and its subsidiariessimilar expressions.
