E-Business is Coming to a Location near You  
CSX E-Business is partnering with the Service Start-Up & Integration team to provide Railroading 101 Workshops in locations around the network. Each month, members from different CSX departments gather regionally with local CSX operating teams to provide relevant and timely updates about CSX. A big part of these workshops is allowing customers to ask questions about different topics, including ShipCSX and E-Business tools.

Customers get updated on the need-to-know E-Business tools, as well as seeing new tools recently released, such as Transit Times and our new ShipCSX smart phone app. Active participation has been the key at these events, with many customers saying they have gained a greater knowledge about CSX and E-Business tools after attending.

So far this year, there have been 3 workshops and many more are being planned. 31 customers and 11 CSX personnel attended a workshop in Nashville, TN on February 8th. 27 customers, 11 CSX personnel attended a workshop in Richmond, VA on February, 29th and 12 customers, 6 CSX personnel attended another workshop in Florence, SC on March 21st. The next workshops are planned for Lafayette, IN on March 29th, tentatively in Montgomery, AL on April 26th and Nashville, TN. Look for more information on upcoming workshops coming soon.
