Tax Savings Thrift Plan for Employees of

CSX Corporation
Jacksonville, Florida
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Tax Savings Thrift Plan for Employees of CSX Corporation and Affiliated
Companies as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related statement of changes
in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2002. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The following description of the Tax Savings Thrift Plan for Employees of CSX
Corporation and Affiliated Companies (the Plan) provides only general
information. Members should refer to the Summary Plan Description and the Plan
Document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.
General: The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all full-time salaried
employees and certain non-union hourly employees of CSX Corporation (CSX) and
adopting affiliated companies (collectively, the Company or Plan Sponsor).
Effective January 1, 2002, CSX established the Plan as an Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (ESOP) designed to comply with Section 4975(e)(7) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and is subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended.
Contributions: Effective January 1, 2002, the Plan was amended to allow a member
to contribute from 1% up to 50%, (in 1% multiples) of eligible compensation, as
defined by the Plan, on a pre-tax or after-tax basis. Prior to January 1, 2002,
members could contribute a maximum of 15% of eligible compensation. Members who
are not eligible to participate in the Company's Supplementary Savings and
Incentive Award Deferral Plan may also contribute up to 50% of any incentive
compensation to the Plan. Subject to certain limitations, members may reinvest
distributions from another qualified plan or Individual Retirement Account.
Members may change percent of contribution and investment options daily.
The Company contributes amounts equal to 50% of the first 6% of the member's
pre-tax or after-tax eligible contributions, as defined by the Plan. In 2002,
Company contributions were funded from the CSX Corporation rabbi trust account
which holds CSX common stock and cash. Shares to fund the contributions may be
purchased throughout the year and held by CSX Corporation in a rabbi trust until
they are contributed to the Plan and credited to the members' accounts. Member
incentive compensation contributions are not matched. Additional amounts may be
contributed at the option of the Company's Board of Directors.

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (Continued)
Diversification: The Plan was amended effective May 1, 2002 to allow all members
to immediately diversify the nonmember-directed contributions to the CSX Stock
Fund to other investment options offered under the Plan. Prior to May 1, 2002,
the Plan was amended effective January 1, 2002 to change the age requirement for
a member to diversify nonmember-directed contributions from age 55 to age 50.
Member Accounts: Each member's account is credited with the member's
contributions and allocations of (a) the Company's contributions and (b) Plan
earnings, and is charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. The
benefit to which a member is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from
the member's account.
Vesting: Members are 100% vested in their accounts.
Loans: Members may borrow from their accounts in amounts equal to no more than
the lesser of $50 in an aggregate amount of all loans from the Plan or 50% of
their vested account balances. Loan terms range from one to five years unless
the loan is to be used in conjunction with the purchase of a primary residence.
The loans are secured by the balance in the member's account and bear interest
at the prime rate in effect at CitiBank at the beginning of the quarter in which
the loan originated. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll
deductions.
Dividends: Dividends paid on shares of Company stock held in a member's account
are reinvested in shares of Company stock. Effective January 1, 2002, a member
or spousal beneficiary may elect to have dividends paid to them in cash. Any
change in an election will apply only to ex-dividend dates occurring after the
date such election is received. A member who does not make a timely election
will have the dividends paid to their account and reinvested in shares of
Company stock.
Payment of Benefits: Upon termination of service, a member may receive a
lump-sum amount equal to the vested value of his or her account, or upon
disability or retirement, elect to receive monthly installments over a 240-month
period. Surviving spouses of retired or disabled members may elect to continue
or initiate monthly installments. A member with an account balance of $5 or less
will be paid in lump-sum.
Plan Termination: Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company
has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to
terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan
termination or partial termination, members will remain 100% vested in their
accounts.

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (Continued)
Administrative expenses: The administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the
Company or from Plan funds as the Plan Sponsor directs. All of the
administrative expenses of the Plan during the year ended December 31, 2002 were
paid from Plan funds.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation: The financial statements have been prepared under the
accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT IN MASTER TRUST
All investments of the Master Trust are held by The Northern Trust Company, the
Master Trust's trustee.
At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Plan's interest in the net assets of the
Master Trust was approximately 69%.
Investments in CSX Common Stock (stated at fair value) are valued at the last
reported sales price on the last business day of the year. Investments in mutual
funds are measured by quoted market prices and are reported at aggregate fair
value at year-end. Synthetic guaranteed investment contracts (defined on page
10) are reported at fair value, which in the case of such contracts approximates
contract value. Member loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which
approximate fair value.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAX STATUS
The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service
dated March 12, 2002, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from
taxation. Subsequent to this issuance of the determination letter, the Plan was
amended. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the
Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan Sponsor believes the Plan is being
operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and,
therefore, believes that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related
trust is tax exempt.
