As CSX Corp. prepared to release its quarterly earnings report Aug. 5, company officials also were monitoring Hurricane Debby as it approached the Jacksonville-based company’s rail network.
“Fortunately, our teams have a lot of experience dealing with this,” CEO Joe Hinrichs said in a telephone interview after CSX reported basically flat second-quarter earnings.
CSX’s rail network operates throughout the eastern U.S. and Debby posed a threat to operations in several states.
