CSX Transportation, recognized by its CSXT and CSXU reporting marks, was formed in the 1980s through the merger of several eastern railroads and has since become one of the primary freight carriers across the eastern United States. CSX Transportation trains for sale often feature modern diesel locomotives, intermodal equipment, coal hoppers, and freight cars inspired by contemporary rail operations throughout the region.
CSX locomotive models and freight rolling stock remain especially popular with collectors and model railroaders building present-day freight consists, intermodal terminals, and heavy-haul rail operations. These railroad models are commonly added to model trains focused on modern American freight transportation and eastern railroad routes.
