HDF CSXT Fuel Surcharge Publication 8661-B

APPLICATION: This publication applies to: (1) all regulated common carrier linehaul freight rates existing or established by CSXT on or after April 23, 2007; and (2) all linehaul freight rates and charges with respect to exempt traffic, and linehaul freight rates and charges in contracts, private price quotations or other pricing documents, that both reference this publication and are entered into or issued and effective on or after April 23, 2007.

In the event that the monthly average price per gallon of highway diesel fuel (as determined below, the "HDF Average Price" ) equals or exceeds 200.0 cents, CSXT will apply a mileage-based fuel surcharge to the linehaul rates and charges described above. The fuel surcharge will be applied to each qualifying shipment having a bill of lading or other shipping instruction dated on or after the first day of the second calendar month following the calendar month of a given HDF Average Price determination.

The "HDF Average Price" for a month will be the average price for that month of U.S. No. 2 Diesel Retail Sales by All Sellers, as determined and published by the U. S. Department of Energy, Energy Information Administration ( "DOE-EIA" ) ¹ . That average price will, in calculating the HDF Average Price, be rounded to the nearest 1/10th of a cent applying conventional rounding principles. The fuel surcharge will be 1¢ per mile per railcar for every 4¢ per gallon, or portion thereof, by which the HDF Average Price for the calendar month two months prior to the calendar month of shipment exceeds 199.9 cents.

If DOE-EIA ceases publication of the above information, CSXT will employ a suitable substitute source of price or measure.

The Mileage to be applied in calculating the fuel surcharge will be based on rail miles between origin, interchange(s) and destination, and can be found at www.csx.com. ²

The following table reflects a sampling of the fuel surcharge within the included HDF Average Price ranges.

The fuel surcharge will be 75¢ per mile plus 1¢ per mile for every 4¢ per gallon, or portion thereof, by which the HDF Average Price exceeds 499.9 cents.

When CSXT is the billing railroad with respect to a joint rate as to which another railroad's fuel surcharge is to be applied, the mileage (if any) used in calculating the fuel surcharge will be derived from CSXT' s mileage lookup system and facility which can be found at www.csx.com. ²

WTI Tariffs CSXT 8100/8200

MERCHANDISE FUEL SURCHARGE - ITEM 12000 - C

This item applies to all: (1) regulated common carrier linehaul freight rates and charges until April 23, 2007, and (2) linehaul freight rates and charges with respect to exempt traffic, and linehaul freight rates and charges in contracts, private price quotations or other pricing documents, which do not reference CSXT Fuel Surcharge Publication 8661.

In the event that the average price of West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil (as set forth below, the "WTI Average Price" ), calculated monthly based on prices published in the Wall Street Journal, exceeds $23.00 per barrel, CSXT will apply a fuel surcharge to linehaul freight charges referencing or subject to this Item or Tariff CSXT 8100. The fuel surcharge shall be applied to the linehaul freight charge for each shipment having a bill of lading dated on or after the 1st day of the second calendar month following the calendar month of a given WTI Average Price calculation.

The fuel surcharge will be 0.4% of the linehaul freight charge for every $1.00 per barrel, or portion thereof, by which the WTI Average Price exceeds $23.00. The WTI Average Price for a given calendar month will be determined by adding the daily West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil prices published in the Wall Street Journal during a calendar month, and dividing the result by the number of days so published. The result will be rounded to the nearest cent. If the Wall Street Journal ceases publication of the price of West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil, CSXT will employ a suitable substitute source of price or measure.

The following schedule reflects the applicable fuel surcharges within the WTI Average Price ranges noted below:

WTI Average Price Per Barrel	Fuel Surcharge Percentage
