The Share(“EITF states that contingently convertible debt instruments are subject to the “if-converted” method under SFAS 128, Earnings Per Share, regardless of fulfillment of any of the contingent features04-8”), CSX included in the instrument. Consequently, CSX is required to include approximately 10 million shares underlying its contingently convertible debentures using the “if-converted” method in the computation of Earnings Per Share, Assuming Dilution.
     As a result of the recent increase in the price of CSX common stock, these debentures became convertible on April 12, 2006. As noted, however, EITF 04-8 required CSX to include the underlying shares in the computation of Earnings Per Share, Assuming Dilution. Any further dilutive effects resulting from actual conversion of the debentures would be reflected in the basic earnings per share assuming dilution. Additionally, earnings per share, assuming dilution, has been restated for all prior periods presented.calculation upon conversion. If the price of CSX common stock falls, however, these debentures may no longer meet the conversion requirements.

NOTE 4. Debt and Credit Agreements
     CSX has a $1.2 billion five-year unsecured revolving credit facility expiring in May 2009 and a $400 million 364-day unsecured revolving credit facility expiring in May 2006. The facilities were entered into in May 2004 and May 2005, respectively, on terms substantially similar to the facilities they replaced. Generally, these facilities may be used for general corporate purposes, to support CSX’s commercial paper and for working capital. Neither of the credit facilities was drawn on as of March 31, 2004.2006. Commitment fees and interest rates payable under the facilities are similar to fees and rates available to comparably rated investment-grade borrowers. These credit facilities allow for borrowings at floating (LIBOR-based) interest rates, plus a spread, depending upon CSX’s senior unsecured debt ratings. As of March 31, 2006, CSX’s long-term unsecured debt obligations were rated BBB and Baa2 by Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s Investor Service, respectively. Commitment fees similarly depend on such ratings and are 15 and 11 basis points per annum, respectively, under the $1.2 billion and $400 million revolving credit facilities. At March 31, 2006, CSX was in compliance with all covenant requirements under the facilities.
     CSX expects to replace both facilities during May 2006 with a single five-year facility of approximately $1.25 billion and with terms substantially similar to those in the current facilities.

If any of the Debentures are required to be purchased by CSX, they will be purchased for cash. As of September 30, 2005, the Company’s cash and short-term investments balance was $590 million, which is more than adequate to fund the potential purchase of the Debentures if CSX is required to do so on October 30, 2005.

NOTE 5. Share-Based Compensation, continued
     StockEffective December 31, 2005 (which is the first day of fiscal year 2006), the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R),Share-Based Payment(“SFAS 123(R)”), using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under that transition method, compensation expense includes $5 million recordedcosts recognized in conjunctionthe first quarter of 2006 include compensation costs for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of December 31, 2005. The amount of compensation costs recognized is based upon the grant date fair value estimated under the Black-Scholes-Merton formula in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”). This method results in the recognition of additional compensation costs from the unvested portion of options granted prior to 2003. Results for prior periods have not been restated, as it is not required, and the adoption of SFAS 123(R) did not result in a material impact to the Company’s management restructuring for the nine-month period ended September 24, 2004Consolidated Income Statement or Earnings Per Share. CSX will recognize approximately $3 million in additional compensation cost related to recognitionnonvested awards as a result of unamortized expense for 2003 stock option awards retained by terminated employees (see Note 17. Management Restructuring).adopting SFAS 123(R), the majority of which will be recognized in fiscal year 2006.
     In addition to stock option expense, stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported net income consists of restricted stock awards, stock issued to CSX directors and stock issued to employees under the Company’s Long TermLong-term Incentive ProgramProgram. These awards were accounted for under the estimated grant date fair value method for both SFAS 123(R) and SFAS 123; therefore, compensation costs related to these types of awards are consistently reported for all periods presented. Upon adoption of SFAS 123(R), CSX no longer allows automatic vesting when an employee becomes retirement eligible.
     Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), CSX presented all tax benefits from deductions resulting from compensation costs as operating cash flows in the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement. SFAS 123(R) requires the cash flows resulting from tax deductions in excess of compensation costs recognized to be classified as financing cash flows. This requirement resulted in reduced net operating cash flows and increased net financing cash flows of approximately $16 million for the first quarter of 2006.

NOTE 7. New Accounting Pronouncements
     In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”, which is a revision of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. Currently, CSX uses the Black-Scholes-Merton formula to estimate the value of stock options granted to employees and expects to continue to use this acceptable option valuation model upon the required adoption of SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006. Compensation cost for unvested awards that were not recognized under SFAS 123 will be recognized under SFAS 123(R). The new rules must be applied to new and existing unvested awards on the effective date. CSX adopted SFAS 123 using the prospective transition method (which applied only to awards granted, modified or settled after the adoption date). Had CSX adopted SFAS 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of SFAS 123 would have been estimated as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share in Note 6. Share-Based Compensation. SFAS 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 123(R) on its consolidated financial statements, but does not expect the impact to be material.
     Currently, CSX’s stock-based employee compensation expense is recognized over the amortization period which could continue beyond the date an employee is eligible for retirement. Upon adoption of SFAS 123(R), if CSX allows vesting beyond retirement eligibility (which is based on age and years of service) for new stock awards granted, the expense recognition period for these awards will not extend beyond the date an employee is eligible for retirement, resulting in CSX’s recognizing this expense over a shorter period of time.

NOTE 11. Hurricane Katrina
     In late August 2005, Hurricane Katrina caused extensive damage to Company assets on the Gulf Coast. The most significant damage is concentrated on CSXT’s approximately 100-mile route starting in New Orleans, LA and going east to Pascagoula, MS and includes damage to track infrastructure and bridges.
     The Company incurred losses resulting from damage to the rail infrastructure, business interruption and other incremental expenses associated with storm damage. The Company expects that insurance over its self-insured retention of $25 million will be adequate to cover these losses. Subject to the foregoing deductible, the Company’s limits for insurance coverage are expected to exceed the storm losses, currently estimated to be approximately $250 million. Actual covered expenses from Hurricane Katrina could differ materially from current estimates. The Company has multiple applicable layers of insurance coverage and received its first insurance payment for Hurricane Katrina damage in October 2005. Further insurance recovery payments are expected to be paid as claims are incurred, submitted and the appropriate documentation becomes available for review by the Company’s insurers.
     In the third quarter of 2005, the net book values of damaged assets as a result of Hurricane Katrina are currently estimated at $41 million and have been recognized as a loss within the Consolidated Income Statements. Accordingly, these damaged assets are no longer being depreciated, which resulted in an immaterial effect on depreciation expense for the quarter. Other incremental expenses incurred as a result of the storm amounted to $19 million for the third quarter. The Company recognized corresponding insurance recoveries of $55 million, which represents recovery of these losses less $5 million of the $25 million self-insured deductible, which has been allocated in proportion to the estimated insurance recoveries. The remaining self-insured deductible will be applied and recognized in the Company’s results of operations as expected gains from insurance recoveries relating to fixed asset losses and business interruption lost profits are recognized.

      While management expects losses above the self-insured deductible will be covered, certain insurance recoveries related to business interruption lost profits will be recognized in the Company’s results of operations as settlements are reached with the Company’s insurers. Also, the Company believes replacement value for damaged fixed assets may exceed book value, which could result in gain realization in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 30, “Accounting for Involuntary Conversions of Nonmonetary Assets to Monetary Assets.” These gains could be material to results of operations in the quarters received.
NOTE 12.9. Derivative Financial Instruments
     CSX uses derivative financial instruments to manage its overall exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and fuel costs.
Interest Rate Swaps
     CSX has entered into various long-term interest rate swap agreements on the following fixed ratefixed-rate notes:

     Under these agreements, CSX will pay variable interest based(based on LIBORLIBOR) in exchange for a fixed rate, effectively transforming the notes to floating ratefloating-rate obligations. The interest rate swap agreements are designated and qualify as fair value hedges and thehedges. The gain or loss on the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the fixed ratefixed-rate note attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in current earnings during the period of change in fair values. Hedge effectiveness is measured at least quarterly based on the relative change in fair value of the derivative contract in comparison with changes over time in the fair value of the fixed ratefixed-rate notes. Any change in fair value resulting from ineffectiveness, as defined by SFAS 133, “AccountingAccounting For Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities(“SFAS 133”), is recognized immediately in earnings.

     CSX’s interest rate swaps qualify as perfectly effective fair value hedges, as defined by SFAS 133. The gain or loss on the interest rate swap exactly offsets the loss or gain on the underlying fixed-rate notes. As such, there was no ineffective portion to the hedge recognized in earnings during the current or prior year periods. Long-term debt has been increaseddecreased by $8 million and $26$3 million for the fair market value of the interest rate swap agreements based upon quoted market prices at SeptemberMarch 31, 2006. Long-term debt has been increased by $1 million for the fair market value of the interest rate swap agreements based upon quoted market prices at December 30, 2005. Fair value adjustments are non-cash transactions and accordingly have no cash impact on the Consolidated Cash Flow Statements.
     The differential to be paid or received under these agreements is accrued based upon the terms of the agreements, and is recognized in interest expense over the term of the related debt. The related amounts payable to or receivable from counterparties are included in Other Current Assets or Liabilities.
     Cash flows related to interest rate swap agreements are classified as Operating Activities in the Consolidated Cash Flow Statements. Interest rate swap contracts had no material impact on interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. For the quarter ended April 1, 2005, CSX reduced interest expense by approximately $5 million, as a result of the interest rate swap agreements that were in place during the period.
     The counterparties to the interest rate swap agreements expose CSX to credit loss in the event of non-performance. CSX does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties.
Fuel Hedging
     In 2003, CSX began a program to hedge a portion of CSXT’s future locomotive fuel purchases. This program was established to manage exposure to fuel price fluctuations. To minimize this risk, CSX entered into a series of swaps in order to fix the price of a portion of CSXT’s estimated future fuel purchases. The program limits fuel hedges to a 24-month duration and Decembera maximum of 80% of CSXT’s average monthly fuel purchased for any month within the 24-month period, and places the hedges among selected counterparties.

     The Company is a party to various proceedings, including administrative and judicial proceedings, involving private parties and regulatory agencies related to environmental issues. The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) at approximately 260 environmentally impaired sites, many of which are, or may be, subject to remedial action under the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), also known as the Superfund law, 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.
     At least once a quarter, the Company reviews its role with respect to each site identified. Based on the review process, the Company has recorded reserves, excluding anticipated insurance recoveries, to cover estimated contingent future environmental costs with respect to such sites. Environmental costs are charged to expense when they relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and do not contribute to current or future revenue generation. The recorded liabilities for estimated future environmental costs are undiscounted and include amounts representing the Company’s estimate of unasserted claims, which the Company believes to be immaterial. The liability includes future costs for all sites where the Company’s obligation is deemed probable, and where such costs can be reasonably estimated.
     The Company does not currently possess sufficient information to reasonably estimate the amount 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.

NOTE 13. Casualty, Environmental11. Hurricane Katrina
     In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina caused extensive damage to Company assets on the Gulf Coast. The most significant damage was concentrated on CSXT’s route between New Orleans, LA and Other Reserves, ContinuedPascagoula, MS. The Company has insurance coverage of $535 million, after a $25 million deductible (per occurrence), for fixed asset replacement and business interruption (which includes incremental expenses and lost profits).
     Management’s current loss estimate is approximately $450 million, which is an increase from earlier estimates. The Gulf Coast region remains challenged by scarce resources and massive recovery requirements which have affected the price and availability of resources to the Company. At this time, the CSXT route and bridgework is substantially complete and operational, with remaining work primarily consisting of salvage and debris removal.
     The Company’s insurance policies do not prioritize coverage based on types of losses. As claims are submitted to the insurance companies, they are reviewed and preliminary payments made until all losses are incurred and documented. However, no claim payments are guaranteed until cash is received. A final payment will be made once the Company and its insurers agree on the total measurement value of the claim. The Company has collected insurance payments of:

     The insurance receivable, net of cash insurance proceeds, amounted to $15 million and $43 million at March 31, 2006, and December 30, 2005, respectively, and is party to a number of occupational claims by employees exposed to asbestosincluded in Accounts Receivable — Net in the workplace. According to rail industry statistics, the heaviest exposure for employees was due to work conducted in and around the use of steam locomotive engines thatCompany’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. These receivables were phased out between the early 1950’s and late 1960’s. However, other types of exposures, including exposure from locomotive component parts and building materials, continued until it was substantially eliminated by 1985.
     The Company retains a third party specialist, who has extensive experience in performing asbestos and other occupational studies, to assist in assessing the unasserted liability exposure. The analysis is performed by the specialist semi-annually. The objective of the analysis is to determine the number of estimated incurred but not reported claims and the estimated average cost per claim to be received over the next seven years. Seven years was determined by management to be the time period in which probable claim filings and claim values could be estimated with more certainty.
     The methodology used by the specialist includes an estimate of future anticipated claims based on the Company’s trends of average historical claim filing rates, future anticipated dismissal rates and settlement rates. The Company’s future liability for incurred but not reported claims is estimated by multiplying the future anticipated claims by the average settlement values.

     Approximately 6,000 of the open claims at September 30, 2005 are asbestos claims against the Company’s previously owned international container shipping business. Because these claims are against multiple vessel owners, the Company’s reserves reflect its portion of those claims. The Company had approximately $11 million and $13 million reserved for those shipping business claims at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. The remaining open claims have been asserted against CSXT.
      The amounts recorded by the Company for asbestos and other occupational liabilities are based upon currently known information and judgements based upon that information. Projecting future events, such as the number of new claims to be filed each year, the average cost of disposing of claims, as well as the numerous uncertainties surrounding asbestos and other occupational litigation in the United States, could cause the actual costs to be higher or lower than projected. Recent asbestos filing rates have declined.

NOTE 14.12. Commitments and Contingencies, Continuedcontinued
2.Guarantee of approximately $13 million in lease commitments assumed by A.P. Moller-Maersk (“Maersk”) for which CSX is contingently liable until 2011. The Company believes Maersk will fulfill its contractual commitments with respect to these lease commitments and that CSX will have no further liabilities for those obligations.
3.Guarantee of approximately $8 million relating to leases assumed as part of the conveyance of CSX’s interest in a former subsidiary, CSX Lines. CSX believes the former subsidiary will fulfill its contractual commitments with respect to these leases, which expire in 2007, and CSX will have no further liabilities for those obligations.
     As of March 31, 2006, the Company has not recognized any liabilities in its financial statements in connection with any guarantee arrangements as FASB Interpretation No. 45,Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Othersdoes not apply to these obligations. The maximum amount of future payments CSX could be required to make under these guarantees is the amount of the guarantees themselves.
Other Legal Proceedings
     The Company is involved in routine litigation incidental to its business and is a party to a number of legal actions and claims, various governmental proceedings and private civil lawsuits, including those related to environmental matters, Federal Employers’ Liability ActFELA claims by employees, other personal injury claims, and disputes and complaints involving certain transportation rates and charges. Some of the legal proceedings include claims for compensatory as well as punitive damages, and others purport to be class actions. While the final outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty considering, among other things, the meritorious legal defenses available and liabilities that have been recorded along with applicable insurance, it is the opinion of CSX management that none of these items will have a materially adverse effect on the results of operations, financial position or liquidity of the Company. An unexpected adverse resolution of one or more of these items, however, could have a materially adverse effect on the results of operations, financial condition or liquidity in a particular quarter or fiscal year. 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 quarters received.

2005First Quarter 2006 Surface Transportation Highlights and Challenges
Revenue
Revenue grew 11% to $2.3 billion.
Operating income increased 39% to a record $487 million.
Operating ratio improved 4.2 points to 79.1%.
Service and safety measurements improved across the board.
     The third quarter of 2005 marked the 14th consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth. RevenueRevenues increased 9% or $182 million compared to the third quarter of 2004. Coal, coke and iron ore continued to experience significant revenue gains of 17% as demand for transportation services was11%, driven by higher electricity generation and rebuilding of utility stockpile inventories. Additionally, the coal pricing environment continues to be favorable. Merchandise revenue increased 8% through continued yield management efforts and the Company’s fuel surcharge program. Within the merchandise market, all lines of business posted year-over-year revenue growth led by strong gainsa 12% improvement in agricultural products and food and consumer products. Automotive revenue increased by 8% due to higher volume, price and fuel surcharge increases. Intermodal revenue was up slightly as revenue per unit increases offseton slightly lower volumes. Along with the year-over-yearfuel surcharge program, the increase in revenue per unit was primarily driven by the Company’s continued pricing efforts and traffic mix, which accounted for approximately 45% and 20% of the increase, respectively. Lower volume decline. The Company estimates that Hurricane Katrina adversely affected revenues in the quarter by approximately $17 million primarily related to the chemicals and Intermodal markets.
Volume
     Overall volume during the third quarter of 2005 was flat versus the prior year comparable quarter. Volume growth in coal and automotive overcame volume declines in the other markets. Overall, merchandise carloads fell slightly versus the prior year comparable quarter. Automotive volume levels increased primarily due to the success of the domestic manufacturer’s employee discount pricing promotion. In addition,merchandise market’s reduction in short-haul export phosphate volume, resulting from reduced international fertilizer demand, and lower Intermodal volumes declinedvolume, as the Company continued its yield management efforts.
Fuel Costsefforts and Fuel Surcharge Programfocus on profitability. Partially offsetting these decline were increases in coal volume due to continued strong utility demand and in automotive volume due to increased North American light vehicle production.
     Fuel expenses increasedFor additional information, refer to Rail and Intermodal Results of Operations discussions on pages 30 and 32, respectively.
     Operating performance improved significantly during the first quarter, with all key measures registering solid to significant improvement. Two key measures – safety and on-time performance – showed the greatest improvement, with personal injuries and train accidents declining 16% to $188 million inand 28%, respectively, and with on-time originations and on-time arrivals improving 49% and 63%, respectively. This performance was driven by the third quarter, netCompany’s continued focus on safety leadership and improved execution of $77 million in fuel hedging benefits, due principally to the rising price per gallon of diesel fuel. The average price per gallon of diesel fuel, including benefits from the fuel hedging program, was $1.34 in the third quarter of 2005 versus $1.14 in the third quarter of 2004. The fuel surcharge program within Surface Transportation offset a significant portion of fuel cost increases.ONE Plan.

Efforts are ongoing to improve plan execution and to refine the operating plan to reflect changing traffic volumes, operating capabilities, and service requirements.
     In addition, CSXT began implementing a new locomotive planmethod in the third quarter of 2005. Locomotive availability and reliability is critical to the plan execution. CSXT is also working to improve the performance of its major terminals and rail yards in 2005. Primary activities in CSXT terminals include switching rail cars to and from trains, fueling and servicing locomotives, and inspecting and repairing rail cars. Employee roles and responsibilities have been clearly defined and aligned across functional departments. These initiatives, combined with increased focus on training and development of operating managers, seek to develop a culture that drives toward higher levels of plan execution.

Operations, Continued
     CSXT is continuing freight transportation service to customers outside of the storm-affected area by rerouting rail traffic through well-established western gateways, including East St. Louis, IL, Memphis, TN, Birmingham, AL, Mobile, AL, and Montgomery, AL. Service to customers within the affected area is expected to be restored by year-end. All repairs are expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2006, with most expected to be finished by year-end 2005. The rerouted trains are expected to be returned to their original gateway of New Orleans when all major repairs are completed.
Capital Investment
     CSXT continues to invest in its rail infrastructure, locomotives, freight cars and technology to accommodate safe, efficient and reliable train operations. In anticipation of future volume growth in key corridors, the Company plans to make strategic infrastructure investmentsaverage system dwell time would have been 26.1 hours for that period versus 26.6 hours as profitability targets are met. Investments under consideration include locomotives, track and terminal infrastructure expansion such as the Southeastern corridor between Chicago and Florida and the River Line from Albany to New York City. Investments in the Southeastern corridor are intended among other things to support Western coal sourcing from the Colorado, Illinois and Powder River basins as well as consumer goods shipments from West Coast ports and merchandise and automobile shipments. Investments in the River Line are designed to increase long-term capacity for the I-90 corridor between Chicago and New York.
     As a result of these investments and the ongoing needs of the business, the Company expects incremental 2006 and 2007 capital spending of approximately $300 million to $400 million, excluding the impact of Hurricane Katrina, above its recent annual averages of approximately $1.0 billion.

20052006 Surface Transportation Expectations
Revenue
     Despite the affects of Hurricane Katrina, revenue growth     The Company’s performance in 2006 is expected to support its five-year financial targets of double-digit annual growth in Surface Transportation operating income, earnings and free cash flow. In 2006, CSX expects strong revenue growth, driven by a continuing robust pricing environment and volume growth. In addition, lower margin traffic will continue to outpace volume growth through 2005 due to a continued strong transportation demand, as well as CSX’s emphasis on price, fuel surcharge coverage and service improvement. Lower contributory traffic is either beingbe re-priced or replaced by longer haul, more profitable business. The amount of any revenue
     Improvements in service and volume increase depends on several factors:
Economy:Favorable economic conditions are expected basedsafety performance combined with planned investments in locomotives, employees and capacity will build on the forecasts for key economic indicators such as the gross domestic product, industrial productionmomentum established in 2005 and overall import levels. Generally, the Company’s revenue is fairly diversified and a large portion is less sensitive to significant fluctuationscontinued in the general economy. Changes, however, in the macro economic environment do impact overall revenue growth.
Operational Performance:Service is expected to improve with more consistent execution of the network operating plan, which should result in improved average velocity and more reliable service. Consequently, additional volume may be captured as freight car availability increases due to improved asset utilization and reduced transit times. If service does not improve, volume growth could be flat to slightly negative.
Fuel Prices:Because of the fuel surcharge program and cost escalation clauses in long-term contracts, which include a fuel element, a portion of the Company’s revenue varies with the price of fuel.
Operations
     CSXT expects key operating measurements to show consistent improvement through the fourthfirst quarter of 2005 and into 2006. In addition to the success of the initiatives outlined above, availability of resources can affect overall network performance and service levels. Locomotive and train and engine (“T&E”) employee availability are critical to operating plan execution. Management believes current resource plans will support anticipated business levels and maintain network fluidity. Those plans include hiring new train and engine employees, which include the hiringconsist of approximately 2,000 T&E employeeslocomotive engineers and conductors, to offset anticipated attrition. A two-year capacity expansion and infrastructure investment plan is also designed to drive improved service reliability and volume growth as projects are completed. The first expansion projects will be completed during 2006, and the acquisition of 100 new locomotives in 2005, will be sufficient to support improved plan execution.remaining projects are on target for completion during 2007.

Consolidated Operating Revenue
     CSXT considers employee relations with most of its unions generally to be good. Most of CSXT’s employees are represented by labor unions and are covered by collective bargaining agreements. The bargaining agreements contain a moratorium clause that precludes serving new bargaining demands until a certain date. These agreements, which usually are bargained nationallyRevenue increases were driven by the National Railway Labor Conference, normally containCompany’s continued pricing efforts, the same moratorium date so all bargaining on agreement changes generally begins at approximately the same time. A roundfuel surcharge program and traffic mix.
Consolidated Operating Income
     Improvement in Consolidated Operating Income was driven by increased Operating Revenue, partially offset by increases in Operating Expenses, primarily as a result of bargaining started in 2000 when the moratorium provisions expired. Agreements have been reached with all of the unions.
     Also, the agreements which were concluded in the 2000 bargaining round are now open for renegotiation. The process of renegotiating these agreements commenced in November 2004 when the parties were free to serve their bargaining demands. Negotiations with eight of thirteen unions are in mediation. The outcome of the 2004 round of negotiations is uncertain at this time.
     In the rail industry, negotiations have generally taken place over a number of yearshigher fuel prices and previously have not resulted in any extended work stoppages. The existing agreements continue to remain in effect until new agreements are reached. The parties are not permitted to either strike or lockout until the Railway Labor Act’s lengthy procedures (which include mediation, cooling-off periods, and the possibility of Presidential intervention) are exhausted.lower fuel hedge benefit.

RISK FACTORS, Continued
Environmental Laws and Regulation
     The Company’s operations are subject to wide-ranging federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other things, emissions to the air, discharges to water and the handling, storage, transportation and disposal of waste and other materials and cleanup of hazardous material or petroleum releases. The Company generates and transports hazardous and non-hazardous waste and materials in its current operations, and it has done so in its former operations. In certain circumstances, environmental liability can extend to formerly owned or operated properties, leased properties and properties owned by third parties, as well as to properties currently owned and used by the Company. Environmental liabilities have arisen and may also arise from claims asserted by adjacent landowners or other third parties in toxic tort litigation. The Company has been and may be subject to allegations or findings to the effect that it has violated, or is strictly liable under, environmental laws or regulations, and such violations can result in the Company’s incurring fines, penalties or costs relating to the cleanup of environmental contamination. Although the Company believes it has appropriately recorded current and long-term liabilities for known future environmental costs, it could incur significant costs as a result of any of the foregoing, and may be required to incur significant expenses to investigate and remediate known, unknown or future environmental contamination, which could have a material adverse effect on results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
Fuel Costs
     Fuel costs represent a significant expense of the Company’s Surface Transportation operations. Fuel prices can vary significantly from period to period and significant increases may have a material adverse effect on results of operations. Furthermore, fuel prices and supply are influenced considerably by international political and economic circumstances. A fuel surcharge revenue program is in place with a considerable number of customers. This program has historically permitted the Company’s Surface Transportation businesses to recover a significant portion of increased fuel costs. Despite the fuel surcharge program, if a fuel supply shortage arose from OPEC production restrictions, lower refinery outputs, a disruption of oil imports or otherwise, fuel shortages, higher fuel prices and any subsequent price increases could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
Future Acts of Terrorism or War
     Terrorist attacks, such as those that occurred in the United States in September 2001, in Spain in March 2004, or in England in July 2005, and any government response thereto or war may adversely affect results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. The Company’s rail lines and physical plant may be direct targets or indirect casualties of acts of terror, which could cause significant business interruption and result in increased costs and liabilities and decreased revenues and have a material adverse effect on results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. In addition, insurance premiums charged for some or all of the coverage currently maintained by the Company could increase dramatically or the coverage may no longer be available.

Regulation and Legislation
     The Company is subject to various regulatory jurisdictions, including the Surface Transportation Board (“STB”) of the United States Department of Transportation (“DOT”), the Federal Railroad Administration of DOT and other state and federal regulatory agencies for a variety of economic, health, safety, labor, environmental, tax, legal and other matters. Legislation passed by Congress or regulations issued by these agencies can significantly affect the revenues, costs and profitability of the Company’s business. Moreover, the failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition, Congressional efforts to reduce or eliminate funding for Amtrak, if successful, could result in significant costs to CSXT, including, but not limited to: loss of revenue from trackage rights; uncertainty relating to operating agreements; loss of other contractual rights, such as indemnification; adverse network implications, such as potential coordination with numerous state commuter rail agencies; and increased payments into the Railroad Retirement system to supplement lost contributions from Amtrak and its employees.
     In response to the heightened threat of terrorism in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks, federal, state and local governmental bodies are proposing and beginning to adopt various legislation and regulations relating to security issues that affect the transportation industry, including rules and regulations that affect the transportation of hazardous materials. For instance, the District of Columbia recently enacted legislation that prohibits rail carriers, including CSXT, from transporting certain hazardous materials through the city. CSXT, supported by the United States, is currently challenging the validity of this legislation in the federal courts. Although CSXT and the Federal Government have secured favorable rulings from the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and the STB, legal proceedings continue and the ultimate outcome is uncertain. The extent to which other governmental bodies will ultimately take similar or related steps is also uncertain. Any legislation, regulations, or rules enacted by federal, state or local governmental bodies relating to security issues that affect rail and intermodal transportation have the potential to materially adversely affect the Company’s operations and costs and thus its results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
Safety
     The Company faces inherent business risk of exposure to property damage and personal injury claims in the event of train accidents, including derailments. The Company is also subject to exposure to occupational injury claims. While the Company is working diligently to enhance its safety programs and to continue to raise the awareness levels of its employees concerning safety, the Company cannot ensure that it will not experience any material property damage or personal or occupational claims in the future or that it will not incur significant costs to defend such claims. Additionally, the Company cannot ensure that existing claims will not suffer adverse development not currently reflected in reserve estimates, as the ultimate outcome of existing claims is subject to numerous factors outside of the Company’s control. The Company engages outside parties to assist with the evaluation of certain of the occupational and personal injury claims, and believes that it is adequately reserved to cover all potential claims. Final amounts determined to be due, however, on any outstanding matters may differ materially from the recorded reserves.

The following discussion compares the 13-week quarters ended September 30, 2005 and September 24, 2004.
Rail Operating Revenue
Third quarter 2005 results represent the 14th consecutive quarter of revenue growth as well as record revenue-per-unit results. All markets experienced revenue and revenue-per-unit gains as a result of continued traffic re-pricing and the fuel surcharge program.
Merchandise
Phosphates and FertilizersChemicals – Volume grew by 4%largely returned to pre-hurricane levels but was still below the prior year comparable quarter as high raw material costs continue to be a result of strong export phosphate demand from India and Pakistan. Rail service improvements in central Florida also contributed to volume growth. In addition, demand improvedconcern for shipments of ammonia, nitrogen, and potash.domestic producers.
MetalsEmerging MarketsDespite a 7% declineStrong demand for aggregate products, such as rock, salt, and sand, and movement of municipal waste propelled volume increases partially offset by lower volumes in volume, revenue grew 10%, predominantlycement due to yield management efforts to increase allocation of railcars from short to longer-haul traffic. These efforts and general price increases resulted in revenue-per-unit increases of 19%, the highest percent increase of the merchandise markets.production interruptions.
Forest Products – Volume was unfavorable 7%declined due to weakness in the printing market as well as production downtimes at several brown paper mills. Substitution effects from newsprint to electronic media continues to reduce the demand for paper. These declines were partially offset by strength in the lumber market as warm weather helped increase housing starts despite recent signs of slowing housing activities.
Agricultural Products – Both volumes and revenues improved due to increased movements of soybeans. In addition, volume of ethanol moving into the Northeast increased as there was higher demand for this fuel additive.
Metals – Domestic demand continued declineto drive strong steel production throughout the quarter. Slight volume gains, strong pricing actions, and fuel surcharge coverage increases delivered 19% revenue growth.
Phosphate and Fertilizer – Short haul, lower revenue per car, phosphate volume decreased significantly due to temporary plant shutdowns resulting from lower international demand. The loss of this short haul traffic, and an increase in newsprint demandlonger haul domestic phosphate volume, combined for a favorable impact on revenue per unit and a buildup in lumber and panel inventories. Yield management emphasis, which includes re-pricing of low margin traffic, contributed to revenue-per-unit gains of 11%.flat overall revenue.
Food and Consumer – Volume was favorable 5%in this segment (which includes the transportation of refrigerated products, canned goods, building products and transportation equipment) increased due to strong growth of shipments of canned goods, rice, beans, beer and wine and strength in movementdeliveries of transportation equipmentnewly finished customer freight cars.
Coal
Revenue and canned goods. This strength more than offset a declinevolume were up on strong demand across all markets, except for the export market. Electricity generation was down 1% in volumeCSXT-served markets due to the hurricane impact.
Agricultural Products– Volume was up 7% based on strength of export grain, soybeans, feed ingredients and ethanol. An anticipated strong 2005 harvest encouraged farmerswarmer weather conditions; however, volume increased as utilities continued to sell larger amounts of soybeans to forward processors during July and August.
Chemicals – Unfavorable volume versus 2004 was driven by high raw materials inventory, high energy prices, and hurricane impacts. Several chemical plants along the Mississippi coast remain closed.
Emerging Markets – Volume was favorable 5% due to continued growth in waste, lime, fly ash and aggregates lines of business. Military shipments were down due to fewer military equipment deployments.rebuild inventories.

North American light vehicle production was favorable by 1%, primarily driven byfavorable. Market share continues to shift from the success ofBig 3 to the new domestic manufacturer’s employee discount pricing promotion. In addition, reduction in downtime at CSXT-served plants also contributedmanufacturers (foreign brands produced domestically). Automotive revenue per unit increased due to an overall 2% increase in volumes.
Coal, Cokeprice escalation and Iron Ore
Revenue was up 17% and volume was up 4% on strong demand across coal markets. Utility inventories remain below target levels, continuing the high demand for coal shipments.fuel surcharge.
Rail Operating Expense
Labor and Fringeexpenses increased $53 million. Higher incentive compensation costs are the primary driver of increased labor and fringe expensesdue to higher staffing levels as well as the effectsimpact of increased inflation. Other labor and fringe expense increases were more than offset by improved productivity in train operations, as overtime and other crew expenses were reduced with the improved operational fluidity.
Materials, Supplies and Otherexpenses increased $49 million which is primarily attributable towere flat as material and other inflation related expenses, higher reserve requirements for uncollectible accounts, property taxes,was largely offset by productivity gains (for instance, as railroad measurements improve locomotives from other railroads are used less and deductibles for hurricane losses.therefore drive down expense).
Depreciationincreased $34 million, which is mainly attributablehigher due to the Conrail spin-off transaction completed in the third quarter of 2004, as assets previously leased from Conrail are now owned directly by CSXT, as well as higher expenses resulting from an increase in the asset base.
Fuelincreased $26 million, due to higher fuel prices netand less fuel hedge benefit versus the first quarter of hedging benefits, which was partially offset by lower volume and efficiency gains.last year.
Building and Equipment Rentdecreased $5 million primarily due to a reduction in railcar lease expense. This was a direct result of the improvement in operational fluidity, which drove improvements in shipment cycle-time and locomotive leases.
Conrail Rents, Fees and Servicesdecreased $54 million due toreduced the Conrail spin-off transaction completed in the third quarternumber of 2004. This transaction decreased rents paid to Conrail, as assets previously leased from Conrail are now owned directly by CSXT. During the third quarter Conrail received a tax benefit from the resolution of various federal income tax audit adjustments, which increases CSX’s equity earnings and offsets Conrail Rents, Fees and Services.
Restructuring Chargeof $3 million represents the 2004 charge for separation expenses related to the management restructuring announced in November 2003 at the Company’s Surface Transportation units.cars-on-line.

Intermodal
     The following discussion compares the 13-week quarters ended September 30, 2005 and September 24, 2004.
Intermodal Operating Revenue
DomesticInternational – Although volume improved with several international customers, overall volume decreased predominantly due to the merger of two key accounts and continued yield management initiatives. Continued emphasis on longer hauls in higher density lanes coupled with sustained strength in pricing is partially offsetting the loss of higher revenue per unit traffic in long-haul markets.
Domestic – Volume was up due to strength in the truckload market offsetting some known reductions in the parcel segment. The strong pricing environment continues, resulting in increased revenue per unit by 8%. Volumes were down due to a steady focus on yield management efforts.
International— Volumes were up 3%. Revenue per car declined as a result of rate increases only partially offsetting unfavorable traffic mix changes.
Other —Higher fuel surcharge rates and continued emphasis on multiple ancillary charges, including premise use increases, drove other revenue increases.6%.
Intermodal Operating Expense
     Intermodal operating expenseOperating Expense decreased $27 million, which is primarily attributable to a decrease in western network traffic, and is reflected in Inland Transportation expense.
Intermodal Operating Income
      Intermodal operating income increased $37 million, or 119%, due to higher fuel surcharge, increases in per diem and supplemental charges related to asset utilization, and expense savings from decreased volume and improved terminal productivity.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments decreased $269 million to $590 million at September 30, 2005, from $859 million at December 31, 2004. Net cash proceeds from the dispositionThe following is a summary of the Company’s International Terminals business were the primary source of cash and cash equivalents used to repurchase publicly-traded notes.
     Other current assets increased $82 million to $239 million as of September 30, 2005 as rising fuel prices continue to increase the fair value of the Company’s fuel hedge swap asset.
     As of September 30, 2005, CSX’s long-term unsecured debt obligations were rated BBB and Baa2 by Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s Investor Service, respectively. In May 2005, Standard and Poor’s raised CSX’s short-term rating from A-3 to A-2 and revised the outlook from negative to stable. In July 2004, Moody’s Investor Service reaffirmed CSX’s short and long-term unsecured debt ratings, but adjusted the outlook from stable to negative. CSX’s short-term commercial paper program is rated A-2 and P-2 by Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s Investor Service, respectively. If CSX’s long-term unsecured bond ratings were reduced to BBB- and Baa3, its undrawn borrowing costs under the $1.2 billion and $400 million revolving credit facilities would not materially increase. If CSX’s short-term commercial paper ratings were reduced to A-3 and P-3, it would increase CSX’s borrowing costsmaterial changes in the commercial paper marketConsolidated Balance Sheets and reduce its accesssources of liquidity and capital. This summary provides an update to this sourcethe discussion included in CSX’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
     Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments increased $111 million, or 18%, as a result of funds becausehigher cash provided by operations offset by increased property additions.
     Labor and Fringe Benefits Payable decreased $132 million, or 23%, due to management incentive compensation payments in the first quarter of the more limited demand for lower rated commercial paper. CSX had no commercial paper outstanding at September 30, 20052006.
     Income and Other Taxes Payable increased $135 million, or December 31, 2004.132%, due to increases in federal tax liabilities associated with higher Consolidated Operating Income.
     CSX’s working capital at September 30, 2005March 31, 2006, was a deficit of $693$507 million, compared to a deficit of $314$607 million at December 31, 2004,30, 2005. This change is primarily driven by a reductionincreases in cash cash equivalents and short-term investments combined with the absence of net assets from the Company’s former International Terminals business.balances. A working capital deficit is not unusual for CSX andthe Company (or other railroadscompanies in the industry) and does not indicate a lack of liquidity. The Company continues to maintain adequate current assets to satisfy current liabilities and maturing obligations when they come due, and has sufficient financial capacity, including the Company’s revolving credit agreements, to manage its day-to-day cash requirements and any anticipated obligations arising from legal, tax and other regulatory rulings.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     CSX currently has $900 million$1.3 billion of capacity under an effective shelf registration that may be used, subject to market conditions and board authorization, to issue debt or equity securities at CSX’s discretion. CSX presently intends to use the proceeds from the sale of any securities issued under its shelf registration statement to finance cash requirements, including refinancing existing debt as it matures. While CSX seeks to give itself flexibility with respect to meeting such needs, there can be no assurance that market conditions would permit CSX to sell such securities on acceptable terms at any given time, or at all.

OTHER MATTERS
Critical Accounting 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. SignificantConsistent with the prior year, significant estimates using management judgment are made for the following areas:
  Casualty, Environmental and Legal Reserves
 
  Pension and Postretirement Medical Plan Accounting
 
  Depreciation Policies for Assets Under the Group-Life Method
 
  Income Taxes
     These estimates and assumptions are discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors on a regular basis.

     The Company addressesThere have been no material changes in market risk exposure to fluctuationsfrom the information provided under “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in interest rates andItem 7A of CSX’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the risk of volatility in its fuel costs through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
     CSX addresses its exposure to interest rate market risk through a controlled program of risk management that includes the use of interest rate swap agreements. The table below illustrates CSX’s long-term interest rate swap position as of Septemberfiscal year ended December 30, 2005.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements $600 
Effect of 1% Increase or Decrease in LIBOR Interest Rate  6 
 
     During 2003, the Company began a program to hedge its exposure to fuel price volatility through swap transactions. As of September 30, 2005, CSX had hedged approximately 37% and 9% of fuel purchases for 2005 and 2006, respectively. At September 30, 2005, a 1% change in fuel prices would result in an increase or decrease in the asset related to the swaps of approximately $1 million. CSXT’s rail unit average annual fuel consumption is approximately 600 million gallons. A one-cent change in the price per gallon of fuel would affect fuel expense by approximately $4 million annually.
     CSX is exposed to loss in the event of non-performance by any counter-party to the interest rate swap or fuel hedging agreements. CSX does not anticipate non-performance by such counter-parties, and no material loss would be expected from non-performance.
