Where can I find the actual financial results for CSX's first quarter of 2009?

The actual financial results are detailed in the press release (Exhibit 99.1) and the CSX Quarterly Financial Report (Exhibit 99.2) that were furnished with this 8-K filing on April 14, 2009. These documents are also available on CSX's official website at www.csx.com.

What is the significance of the information being 'furnished' rather than 'filed'?

When information is 'furnished' under an 8-K, it means the company is providing it to the SEC, but it is generally not subject to the same liability provisions of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as information that is formally 'filed'. This is a common practice for earnings releases to avoid inadvertently triggering these liabilities while still informing investors.

What kind of information can I expect to find in the Quarterly Financial Report?

The CSX Quarterly Financial Report typically includes detailed financial statements (income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement), management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, and key operating statistics relevant to CSX's business, such as volumes, revenue per ton, and operating ratios.

Does this filing provide any forward-looking statements or guidance?

This 8-K filing itself does not contain forward-looking statements or guidance. Such information would typically be found within the press release and the detailed Quarterly Financial Report (Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2), which should be reviewed for any such statements made by the company.
