Take the Clean Air Challenge 

At CSX, we are committed to moving what matters in ways that matter. We're doing our part to protect the environment and helping Americans live better, more productive lives.

Every day that a CSX locomotive hauls freight is a day that CSX helps keep our air cleaner. Trains can move a ton of freight up to 436 miles on a single gallon of fuel. Efficient use of fuel means less greenhouse gases or carbon emissions for our nation.

We invite you to use the tool below to calculate the difference you make by choosing rail. Everyone has a role in protecting the environment, let us help you with yours.
