During the 9th Annual Global Transportation Conference, CSX indicated that total coal tonnage for the current year is predicted to drop 20–25 percent. That meant the company expects export of coal volume to be approximately 25 million tons for 2016. The company pointed out that international market conditions have improved modestly.
Lonegro said, "Third quarter earnings per share are expected to decline slightly from second quarter levels, based on high single digit volume reductions that are partially offset by improving efficiency benefits and strong pricing gains that reflect a service product that meets and exceeds customer expectations."
