Holistic focus on controlling supply chain costs
Near-sourcing of manufacturing sites due to rising costs in Asia Simplification and rebalancing of supply chain network design Optimization software to improve efficiencies and streamline processes Use of alternate transportation modes, including intermodal
Truck capacity is imminent concern for future
Truck Capacity Utilization to Increase, Resulting in a Shortage Driver shortages are a threat with economic recovery —
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports driver supply is 185,000 below 2007 levels
—
Turnover for Q1 2012 was 90%, the highest since 2008
2012 Driver supply impacted by many macro-factors —
CSA, HOS and other proposed regulations
— —
Aging driver base Recovery of housing market

with Intermodal
Coast-to-coast intermodal network with global reach — —
14 million loads moved in 2011 Access to key markets, population centers
—
Connectivity to major U.S. ports
Access to a large, growing container fleet —
Rail and carrier-owned assets
Intermodal scales to meet supply chain needs efficiently —
One train can move the load of 280 trucks
Intermodal industry volume has steadily grown
U.S. Intermodal Volume Units in Millions Volume has increased more than four-fold 14.1M

Intermodal offers sustainable savings
6 Fuel efficiency and freight density drive cost savings — —
Railroads are three times more fuel efficient than trucks One train can move the load of 280 trucks
Higher fuel efficiency means lower greenhouse emissions — —
Intermodal reduces carbon footprint Moving freight by rail, instead of truck, reduces emissions by 75%
If 10% of long haul highway freight converted to rail… Annual fuel consumption would decrease by
12 billion gallons
, and Annual greenhouse emissions would decrease by
12 million tons

Shippers achieve the value of intermodal with CSX
Company Overview America’s first railroad —
Founded 1827, headquartered in Jacksonville, FL
Largest rail network in east —
21,000 route miles in 23 states, serving 70 ports
Significant resources —
Over 4,000 locomotives, 80,000 freight cars, 30,000 employees
Ranked 226 on Fortune 500 —
$11.7 billion of revenue in 2011
Intermodal at CSX Far-reaching, dynamic network —
Hub and spoke design provides unique service capabilities
Aggressive capital investment —
Terminal and infrastructure development, public-private projects
Customer and service focus —
Minimizing variability in service, while meeting customer needs
Highway-to rail “H2R” strategy —
Conversion of over-the-road loads
The National Gateway is evolving the rail network
Public-private investment of $850 million —
State, Federal, and CSX funded
—
Support of 300+ public and private organizations and individuals
Increases efficiency and reach of U.S. rail network —
Links Mid-Atlantic ports with Midwestern markets
—
61 clearance projects and 6 intermodal terminals, including Northwest Ohio
Clearance projects are ~50% complete to date
Northwest Ohio Hub creates a more efficient network
10 Bypass high traffic areas resulting in faster transit times Non-stop service to east and west coasts for more reliable service New lanes increase access to major population centers Effective connector, with 99% scheduled connectivity at NWOH Chicago run-through for Western interchange Hub and spoke network is a strategic differentiator
