Our whole team is very motivated to build on our current momentum, strengthen our key relationships, provide better service to our customers, and deliver profitable growth for years to come. We will achieve this through our one CXX culture, which at its core means one team working together to serve all our key stakeholders.

Jim cares deeply about this railroad and its employees. And he has already been a great resource during my first several weeks in this role.

Jim, on behalf of everyone here at CSX, thank you.
