CSX Corp.  announced third quarter operating income of $1.09 billion and net earnings of $694 million, or $0.37 per share. Excluding a non-cash goodwill impairment of $164 million in this year’s third quarter results, adjusted operating income was $1.25 billion and adjusted net earnings were $818 million, or $0.44 per share. In the third quarter of 2024, the company reported operating income of $1.35 billion and net earnings of $894 million, or $0.46 per share.

“This quarter’s operational performance reflects the dedication of our workforce and our commitment to running the best railroad in North America,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Steve Angel. “We are proud that the network is operating well, and we see clear opportunities to leverage that operational strength moving forward. Looking ahead, CSX is well-positioned to build on this momentum to deliver long-term profitable growth and create value for our shareholders.”

Volume totaled 1.61 million units for the quarter, up 1% compared to third quarter 2024 and up 2% sequentially. Revenue totaled $3.59 billion for the quarter, decreasing 1% year-over-year, as the effects of lower export coal prices and a decline in merchandise volume were partially offset by increases in other revenue, higher pricing in merchandise, and intermodal volume growth.
