CSX Corp. had a rough go this year, but it’s starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Hurricanes Milton and Helene washed out tracks and rail bridges, cutting a main line. The company had to move forward on a scheduled tunnel expansion in Baltimore that crimped port traffic beginning in February; it reopened last week. The good news is that CSX is well on its way to recovering from these external factors.
