$CSX has released its Q4 2024 earnings, reporting an EPS of $0.42, slightly beating expectations, while revenue declined 3.8% year-over-year to $3.54B, missing estimates. Noteworthy highlights include 2% volume growth for the year, driven by intermodal, although challenges persist with coal revenue down 20% amid lower prices.
