Exhibit 99.2
CSX Announces Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - July 16, 2019 - CSX Corporation (NASDAQ: CSX) today announced second quarter 2019 net earnings of $870 million, or $1.08 per share, versus $877 million, or $1.01 per share in the same period last year (an earnings per share increase of 7 percent). CSX’s operating ratio set a company second quarter record of 57.4 percent, improved from 58.6 percent in the prior year.
“I am extremely proud of our dedicated CSX employees for once again achieving new record levels of efficiency this quarter, while also driving a significant improvement in safety” said James M. Foote, president and chief executive officer. “These results reflect the strength of our operating model, and combined with continued improvements in our best-in-class customer service, represent significant progress toward our goal of being the best run railroad in North America."
Revenue for the second quarter declined by 1 percent over the prior year to $3.06 billion, as Merchandise growth was offset by Intermodal weakness. Expenses decreased 3 percent year over year to $1.76 billion, driven by continued efficiency gains and volume-related savings. This combination yielded operating income growth of 2 percent for the quarter to $1.31 billion compared to $1.28 billion in the same period last year.
CSX executives will conduct a conference call with the investment community this afternoon, July 16, at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time.

VOLUME AND REVENUE
Revenue decreased 1 percent year over year as favorable mix and pricing gains across most markets were more than offset by intermodal volume decreases and lower other revenue.
Fuel Surcharge
Fuel surcharge revenue is included in the individual markets. Fuel lag is the estimated difference between highway diesel prices in the quarter and the prices used for fuel surcharge, which are generally on a two month lag.

Merchandise Volume
Chemicals - Increased as stronger crude oil and waste shipments more than offset reduced fly ash, natural gas liquids and sand shipments.
Automotive - Increased due to higher shipments of trucks and SUVs.
Agricultural and Food Products - Increased due to gains in the domestic grain and ethanol markets.
Minerals - Increased due to higher shipments for construction and paving projects.
Forest Products - Increased due to higher demand for wood pulp and other fiber products as well as stronger lumber shipments.
Metals and Equipment - Declined due to reduced metals shipments, primarily in the sheet steel, construction and scrap markets.
Fertilizers - Declined as wet weather conditions continue to delay fertilizer applications.
Coal Volume
Domestic increased primarily due to growth in coke, iron ore and other shipments. Export declined due to lower thermal coal shipments.

EXPENSE
Expenses of $1.8 billion decreased $63 million, or 3 percent year over year, primarily driven by efficiency savings and lower volume, partially offset by inflation and other items.
Labor and Fringe expense decreased $21 million primarily due to the following:
• | Efficiency and volume savings of $19 million primarily resulted from lower headcount and reduced crew starts. |
• | Incentive compensation decreased $19 million driven primarily by lower expected payouts on existing plans. |
• | Inflation and other costs increased $17 million. |
Materials, Supplies and Other expense decreased $14 million due to the following:
• | Volume and efficiency savings of $35 million primarily resulted from lower trucking and terminal costs due to intermodal lane rationalizations; reduced equipment maintenance expenses; and lower train accident costs. |
• | Gains from real estate and line sales were flat year over year. |
• | All other costs increased $21 million primarily due to higher casualty expenses, inflation and other items. |
Depreciation expense increased $8 million primarily due to a larger asset base.
Fuel expense decreased $36 million primarily due to a 6 percent price decrease, record fuel efficiency and lower volume.
Equipment and Other Rents expense decreased $9 million primarily due to lower volume-related costs in addition to continued equipment efficiency for merchandise and intermodal.
Equity Earnings of Affiliates decreased $9 million primarily due to lower net earnings at TTX and a prior year gain from an affiliate's property sale.

OPERATING STATISTICS (Estimated)
Operating performance remained strong as train velocity and car dwell improved 14 percent and 6 percent, respectively, to record levels for the second quarter. The Company remains focused on executing the operational plan to deliver further service gains, improve transit times and drive asset utilization while controlling costs.
From a safety perspective, the FRA personal injury frequency index of 0.83 for the second quarter 2019 improved 22 percent year over year, driven by a significant reduction in the number of FRA-reportable personal injuries. Similarly, the FRA train accident rate of 1.93 for the quarter improved 54 percent year over year, driven by an all-time record low number of FRA-reportable train accidents.

Key Performance Measures Definitions
Train Velocity - Average train speed between origin and destination in miles per hour (does not include locals, yard jobs, work trains or passenger trains). Train velocity measures the profiled schedule of trains (from departure to arrival and all interim time), and train profiles are periodically updated to align with a changing operation.
Dwell - Average amount of time in hours between car arrival to and departure from the yard.

CSX Corporation
NON-GAAP MEASURES (Unaudited)
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The Company also uses certain non-GAAP measures that fall within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation G and Regulation S-K Item 10(e), which may provide users of the financial information with additional meaningful comparison to prior reported results. Non-GAAP measures do not have standardized definitions and are not defined by U.S. GAAP. Therefore, the Company’s non-GAAP measures are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The presentation of these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or as superior to the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to corresponding GAAP measures are below.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow
Management believes that free cash flow is supplemental information useful to investors as it is important in evaluating the Company’s financial performance. More specifically, free cash flow measures cash generated by the business after reinvestment. This measure represents cash available for both equity and bond investors to be used for dividends, share repurchases or principal reduction on outstanding debt. Free cash flow is calculated by using net cash from operations and adjusting for property additions and certain other investing activities, which includes proceeds from property dispositions. Adjusted free cash flow excludes the impact of cash payments for restructuring charge. Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow should be considered in addition to, rather than a substitute for, cash provided by operating activities.
The following table reconciles cash provided by operating activities (GAAP measure) to adjusted free cash flow after restructuring, before dividends (non-GAAP measure). The restructuring charge impact to free cash flow in 2018 was tax effected using the Company's applicable tax rate.
