'CSX has a strong Board of Directors with a broad range of experience.

'The Board and management team believe that the CSX directors are well qualified to further advance the interests of the company's shareholders, as well as its employees, customers and communities. The Board also believes the company's outstanding record of financial, safety and operational improvements demonstrates unequivocally that CSX is a well run company.'
