JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Oct. 05, 2017 -- CSX (Nasdaq:CSX) today reported another week of improving performance as it adopts the tenets of Precision Scheduled Railroading.
CSX President and Chief Executive Officer E. Hunter Harrison said, “CSX’s performance shows improved transit time, train speed, car-handling efficiency and terminal fluidity as we continue implementing the principles of scheduled railroading and the previous transitional issues are resolved.”
Highlights of the most-recent company report include:
- Since mid-July, system-wide train velocity on CSX’s 21,000-mile network has increased by approximately 16 percent, and is now higher than the 2016 full-year average.
- Transit times for scheduled merchandise trains have returned to a normal range, and are lower than transit levels at the outset of CSX’s Precision Scheduled Railroad implementation in first quarter 2017.
- Average terminal dwell – the number of hours cars spend in terminals between their origins and destinations – has steadily improved over the last two months and is currently 11.2 hours, declining more than 15% since the summer. Dwell is now lower than 2016 full-year average.
- CSX’s hump terminals continue to operate fluidly, within planned parameters and with capacity available to handle additional freight requirements.
“We continue to drive forward in our effort to become the best railroad in North America, and the benefits of Precision Scheduled Railroading are becoming more apparent to our customers and our partners every day,” Harrison said.
