Here's a link to a Trains story titled "How csx got it's name". http://www.trains.com/content/dynamic/articles/000/000/002/997majiu.asp <br /> I thought this qutoe was pretty funny from the story. <br />"At one point, and in jest, Watkins said at a luncheon in the executive dining room in Cleveland's Terminal Tower that the new company should be called First American Railway Transportation System. He added with a smile that the slogan could be, "We go like the wind." <br /> <br />Though in the story it makes it sound lik that it wasn't lawyers but how the paper work had to be filed that put the x at the end. C infact stands for Chessie and the S for seaboard. <br />THe storys a short pleasant read and it should answer the question. <br />Andrew Miller
