- How can I find out about stock held in brokerage accounts?
| | | When a broker holds your stock, it is usually registered in the broker's name, or "street name." CSX does not know the identity of individual shareholders who hold stock in this manner. We know only that a broker holds a certain number of shares that may be for any number of customers. Also, you will receive dividend payments, annual reports and proxy materials through your broker. Please notify your broker, not BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, if you wish to eliminate unwanted, duplicate mailings.

- Why do I receive multiple dividend checks and duplicate mailings?

Although the mailing addresses are the same, we are required to mail separate dividend checks to each account. |

Why did I receive a notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?
| | | In accordance with rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we may furnish proxy materials, including the proxy statement and our 2008 Annual Report, to our shareholders by providing access to such documents on the Internet instead of mailing printed copies. Most shareholders will not receive printed copies of the proxy materials unless they request them. Instead, the Notice, which was mailed to most of our shareholders, will instruct you as to how you may access and review all of the proxy materials on the Internet. The Notice also instructs you as to how you may submit your proxy on the Internet. If you would like to receive a paper or email copy of our proxy materials, you should follow the instructions for requesting such materials in the Notice.
