10 Executive Summary Electing our minority slate of nominees is in the best long-term interests of CSX shareholders Over 50 years of railroad experience know the business in order to ask the right questions Strong, proven business leaders willing to challenge management Own over $2bn of CSX shares ‘owners’ not ‘renters’ The question shouldn’t be “where has CSX come from?” but rather “where should CSX be?” Nothing structural to keep CSX from being best railroad in America We believe CSX’s earnings power is double its current EBIT Performance has improved, but largely because of a ‘rising tide (pricing) lifting all boats’ We believe the Incumbent Board is entrenched, and has not served shareholders well Independent directors have no railroad operating experience, and an average tenure of ~10 years Highest compensated management and directors in industry, despite industry lagging performance Alleged Impropriety – “spring-loading”, violations of Insider Trading Policy, abuse of The Greenbrier Shareholder pressure has already resulted in some positive changes, a testament to its merits

13 Key Questions We Are Asking Is this Board capable of holding management accountable? Is this Board working for shareholders or for management? Corporate Governance Productivity Opportunity Why does CSX lag peers on nearly every operational metric? Why does CSX have barely half the profitability of Canadian National? Why doesn’t management have public targets to improve operations? Pricing Discount Is there a smarter way to price? Why does CSX price at a deep discount to competitor Norfolk Southern? Capital Allocation & Structure Is the capital expenditure budget economically justifiable? How can we be comfortable that management will be disciplined? What is the right capital structure for a business as strong as CSX?

26 Corporate Governance Concern: “spring-loading” and violations of Insider Trading Policy Major Allegations against Board and Michael Ward Setting “spring-loaded” grants for CSX executives Set grants while in possession of material non-public information, in violation of Insider Trading Policy and bylaws May 1, 2007 – Set millions of dollars of LTIP performance grants to CSX Executives and Directors May 8, 2007 – Announce 50% increase in buyback and higher guidance. Stock price 7.4% higher than on May 1 In contrast, in 2006, the company set its LTIP grants immediately following the public release of material information Issuing stock grants to Directors during the blackout period (December 2007) Publicly available information suggests that the Board violated Insider Trading Policy, Corporate Governance guidelines, and the CSX bylaws for the benefit of themselves and senior management Source: Counterclaims and Third-Party Claims of The Children's Investment Master Fund, CSX Corp. v.

27 Corporate Governance Concern: disingenuous attempt at special meeting bylaw Shareholders vote for ability to call special meetings (passed 2:1), May 07 “At first glance, the bylaw would appear to be positive for shareholders. A closer reading, however, casts doubt on the bylaw’s impact.” (ISS, February 2008) Why is the Board unwilling to give shareholders what they voted for? May 07 – Jan 08 : Board takes no action CSX goes to SEC to try to avoid putting RAM’s resolution on its proxy. Says it will amend bylaws in a way which “substantially implements the [RAM] proposal” CSX amends bylaws (Feb 08), but: (i) special meetings cannot be called to elect or remove directors (ii) requesting shareholder must own stock on record date AND meeting date (iii) Requesting shareholder must be ‘shareholder of record’ (vs. beneficial owner as is typical) SEC denies CSX’s request, Mar 08. SEC “unable to concur in [CSX’s] view” A shareholder (RAM Trust) proposes a similar resolution for the 2008 Annual Meeting, Jan 08

28 Corporate Governance Concern: filing baseless lawsuit to manipulate shareholder vote The Truth CSX’s Major Allegations TCI/3G have an agreement with swap counterparties to vote stock (if any) hedging swaps TCI/3G formed a group much earlier than disclosed TCI/3G are seeking control of CSX There is no agreement to vote stock (if any) hedging the swaps TCI and 3G formed a group in December, as disclosed, and are not working with any other shareholders TCI and 3G are not seeking control. Proposing only a minority slate, and if successful only 2 directors on a Board of 12 will be from TCI/3G Real Rationale Behind CSX’s Baseless Lawsuit? Did CSX use this lawsuit as an excuse to reset the record date? Waited until after the initial record date had passed, had time to evaluate likelihood of its success, then filed lawsuit and reset record date CSX could have made the same allegations months (or even a year) ago Would CSX have delayed the shareholder meeting to June if it was going to win in May?

29 Corporate Governance Concern: harassment and intimidation of workers In March 2008 the Federal Railroad Administration published “CSX Transportation Harassment and Intimidation Investigation”: The investigation followed an August 2006 joint letter from the two largest rail unions (UTU and BLET) concerning their “outrage that CSXT was engaged in targeted selective stalking, and harassment and intimidation of its train and engine service employees who had reported on-duty injuries” FRA conducted an extensive, one year investigation FRA concluded “that certain CSXT officers had created an atmosphere or culture that tends to have a chilling effect on employee injury/illness reporting” FRA recommended 30 civil penalties against CSXT The FRA investigation and our discussions with union leaders confirm a culture of intimidation at CSX Roughly 50% of all intimidation cases reported to the UTU are from CSX workers, despite them being less than 25% of UTU membership This is not acceptable Source: “CSX Transportation Harassment and Intimidation Investigation” March 2008, Federal Railroad Administration.

30 Corporate Governance Concern: alleged abusive use of the The Greenbrier The former Greenbrier President has alleged widespread abuse of the resort by executives and Board members, who treat it as their own private country club. Allegations include: Unaccounted for use, “comped” use, and unpaid tabs Executives charge under-market rent to Greenbrier clinic for “free” medical examinations Benefits not properly accounted for as compensation, to avoid tax Is this why management insists on keeping The Greenbrier? Is this why it is losing money? (apparently $15m loss annually) Is this why CSX just spent $50m to renovate it? Is this investment economically justifiable? If so, why wasn’t it openly disclosed to shareholders? Source: Civil Action No. 08-C-62, Paul Ratchford vs. CSX Corporation

31 Corporate Governance Our concerns are shared Source: Large four US railroads refers to the four largest Class I US railroads: Norfolk Southern, CSX, Burlington Northern Santa Fe, Union Pacific. An example of Warren Buffet’s investment philosophy: 'As time goes on, I get more and more convinced that the right method in investment is to put fairly large sums into enterprises which one thinks one knows something about and in the management of which one thoroughly believes.” 1991 Letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, quoting John Maynard Keynes. www.theCRO.com. Rick Patterson, UBS Research, 6 M arch 2008 “As time goes on, I get more and more convinced that the right method in investment is to put fairly large sums into enterprises which one thinks one knows something about and in the management of which one thoroughly believes.” Warren Buffett (1991) Mr. Buffett invested in every one of the large four US railroads except CSX Corporate Responsibility Officer Magazine just named three of the top four US railroads to a list of the nation’s 100 Best Corporate Citizens except CSX “We've little doubt the railroad CEO's dictate and control the agenda for the Boards.” Rick Paterson, UBS Research (2008)

46 The Productivity Opportunity Why is Canadian National a good model? Canadian National (“CN”) is the best-in-class railroad Most profitable and most productive railroad in America (margins 60% higher than CSX) CN went from “worst” to “first” in industry profitability. It can be done, despite skeptics “CN? It’s going to be very difficult for them to compete. Look at them. Miles and miles of inefficient track. Operating ratio of 85 – sure, they were in the high nineties three years ago, but the leaders south of the border are at 78 and improving. They’re a railroad. How can they catch up? They can’t”.(1) What is our view based on? The expertise of our nominees (50+ years of railroad experience) Gil Lamphere has 15 years of experience with Hunter Harrison, CEO of CN Numerous discussions with current and former Canadian National management Discussions with former CSX executives (senior and mid-level) Studies conducted by several consultants retained by TCI and 3G We see a tremendous opportunity to learn from the best-in-class railroad (1) Canadian National Annual Report 2000 referring to a view of Canadian National in 1996

CSX says its network is well-maintained CN has longer length of hauls ~600 miles vs. 540 miles for CSX Rarely Mentioned Disadvantages CN’s Perceived Advantages Canadian weather is much harsher Effectively reduces capacity by 10%+ for two months of the year CN has less highly-efficient unit train business Coal/Grain represent only 18% of CN’s volume vs. 32% at CSX CN has a less favorable regulatory environment Interswitching, Final Offer Arbitration, Grain rates semi-regulated CN has a much less dense network CSX’s network is 27% more dense than CN, making it easier to leverage fixed costs CN has an older and less powerful fleet of locomotives Source: AAR Analysis of Class I Railroads 2006, conversations with CSX and CN management, conversations with independent industry consultants, Group analysis of CN Q4 Release and CSX Q4 Financial Report

Hunter Harrison comments from meetings with investors, February 27, 2008 Hunter Harrison, CEO of CN Michael Ward on CN vs. CSX The CN railroading model will work anywhere There are no overall structural differences that give Canada an advantage over the US Infrastructure is similar across all railroads, CN just manages the network and terminals differently No reason you can’t take any of the Class I’s to something close to CN’s level In 1998, there was cultural resistance today, all of CN understands how to support the precision scheduled railroad model

Locomotive opex excludes lease and depreciation expenses to increase comparability Is this because CSX has a locomotive maintenance outsourcing agreement with General Electric (GE) on all GE manufactured engines? This outsourcing agreement results in parallel locomotive shops throughout the network – a GE shop employing CSX labor and a CSX shop, also employing CSX labor, resulting in duplicative locomotive shops at many CSX yards? Is this because CSX has too many leased units which are typically more expensive to maintain (8% of units leased vs NSC at 3%)? CSX’s reduction of leased units from 13% to 8% of the fleet over the past three years suggests this is true 53 A 25% reduction to CSX locomotive operating expense would save CSX $100 million CSX outspends Norfolk Southern on locomotives by almost any measure Despite similar fleet size, age, power and similar operating environment

58 Pricing Discount Is there a smarter way to price? US railroad pricing models haven’t really changed since deregulation What can we learn from other models? Airline yield management – uses price to ‘balance’ demand across times of day, days of week and weeks of year. It is our understanding that CSX does not do this CN pricing system (Intermodal) – allocates a fixed number of loading slots per day and then allows shippers to bid on slots. Successfully balanced traffic across days Balancing demand results in increased throughput and more profitable traffic without simply raising prices to shippers. A win-win situation for CSX and its shippers Gary Wilson (former Chairman of Northwest Airlines) and Gil Lamphere (former Canadian National Board Director) are uniquely positioned to bring ‘best practice’ in pricing to CSX

Friends came to him and said, Oh my God, you’ve won the lottery, what are you going to do with all that money?
