CSX Transportation was formed on July 1, 1986 as a renaming of the Seaboard System Railroad, which had absorbed the former Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, Louisville and Nashville Railroad and Seaboard Air Line Railroad, as well as several smaller subsidiaries. On August 31, 1987 the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, which had absorbed the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad April 30 of that year, merged into CSX. The merger had been started in 1980 with the merger of Chessie System and Seaboard Coast Line Industries to form the CSX Corporation.....Not to sound like a now it all [:P][:P][:P][:P]

CSX Transportation owns and operates a vast network of lines in the United States east of the Mississippi River. In addition to the major systems which merged to form CSX - the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, Louisville and Nashville Railroad, Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and Seaboard Air Line Railroad - it also owns major lines in the Northeast acquired from the 1998 breakup of Conrail.
The lines are split into five regions - Northeast, Central, Southern, Midwest and Western, further split into divisions (two to four per region), and finally into subdivisions, most of which consist of a single main line with short branches.
