CSX Corp. announced second quarter 2026 operating income of $1.51 billion and net earnings of $1.00 billion, or $0.54 per diluted share.

Total volume of 1.68 million units for the quarter was 6% higher compared to second quarter 2025. Revenue totaled $3.94 billion for the quarter, increasing 10% year-over-year, due to increased fuel surcharge revenue together with higher volume and pricing across merchandise, intermodal, and coal.

“Our second quarter results reflect the solid progress we’re making at CSX. Our railroaders successfully managed substantial volume growth while maintaining a consistent focus on safety and productivity, which allowed us to deliver improved financial performance,” said Steve Angel, president and chief executive officer. “As we move into the second half of the year, we will strengthen our service execution as we continue to build momentum across the business.”
