One Tree for Every Mile of Track
(Philadelphia, PA)- On September 26, CSX will kick-off a monumental initiative - the planting of one tree for every mile of the 21,000 miles of track across its vast network. The program, aptly named "Trees for Tracks," is the company's promise to plant more trees than it must remove to maintain clear views of tracks and ensure safe passage.
