RE: NS and CSX

They are not the same, not even close. CSX is made up of among other lines; Chessie, B&O, C&O, Seaboard and Conrail, while NS is made up of mostly Norfolk and Western, Southern and Conrail as well. I might be missing a few, but that is the gist of it. Tell your buddy he should stick to his day job.Chris Bogley

RE: NS and CSX

In a since they are one in the same as both carriers haul freight.That's if you're looking at it in that way.Outside of that there is nothing the same about them.Two very differnt railroads with its own way of doing business.As it was stated in the first reply tell your friend to saty at the job he has.Claude Debnam NS Piedmont Division Raleigh EastNS and CSX – image 2
