                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Pension Committee
CSX Corporation Capital Builder Plan
CSX Corporation
Richmond, Virginia


           We have audited the  accompanying  statements of net assets available
for plan benefits, with fund information, of the CSX Corporation Capital Builder
Plan ("Plan") as of September 30, 1998 and 1997,  and the related  statements of
changes in net assets available for plan benefits,  with fund  information,  for
the fiscal years then ended.  These financial  statements are the responsibility
of the Plan's  management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

           We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
auditing  standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial  statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial  statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement
presentation.  We believe  that our audits  provide a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

           In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects,  the net assets available for plan benefits of
the Plan at  September  30,  1998 and 1997,  and the  changes  in its net assets
available  for plan  benefits  for the years  then  ended,  in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

        Our audits were  performed  for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic  financial  statements  taken as a whole.  The  supplemental  schedules of
assets  held for  investment  purposes  as of  September  30,  1998,  reportable
transactions  and  nonexempt  transactions  for the fiscal year then ended,  are
presented  for purposes of complying  with the  Department  of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure  under the Employee  Retirement  Income
Security  Act of  1974,  and are not a  required  part  of the  basic  financial
statements.  The Fund  Information in the statements of net assets available for
plan  benefits and the  statements  of changes in net assets  available for plan
benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present
the net assets  available  for benefits and changes in net assets  available for
benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules and Fund Information have been
subjected  to the  auditing  procedures  applied in our audits of the  financial
statements  and, in our opinion,  are fairly stated in all material  respects in
relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTE 1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting records of the CSX Corporation  Capital Builder Plan ("the Plan")
are maintained on the accrual basis. All securities transactions of the Plan are
recorded as of the trade date.

Investments  in CSX  Corporation  ("CSX")  common  stock  and  mutual  funds are
presented at fair value.  Fair value is based upon the last reported sales price
on the last business day of the Plan year.  Collective trust fund  participation
units are  carried  at cost plus  accrued  interest  as  determined  by the fund
manager, which is contract value. Contract value approximates fair value.

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,  income, expenses, and other
additions to and deductions from net assets.
Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Certain amounts have been reclassified from the 1997 financial  statements to be
consistent with the presentation in the 1998 financial statements.

NOTE 2.  DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

A complete  description  of the Plan  provisions  including  those  relating  to
contributions,  vesting,  withdrawals  and  distributions  is  contained  in the
Summary Plan Description and the Plan document.  The prospectus  relating to the
Plan, which includes the Summary Plan Description, was filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on June 9, 1989. Copies of these documents are available
from the CSX Benefits Department.  The   following  summary  should  be  read in
conjunction  with the  aforementioned documents.

General:  The Plan is a defined  contribution  plan subject to the provisions of
- -------
the Employee  Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA").  The
Plan was  established  effective  August  1,  1989 and  qualifies  as a "cash or
deferred" arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended ("IRC"),  as a combination  profit sharing and stock bonus plan. Plan
participation  is limited  to  certain  union  employees  of CSX and  affiliated
companies (the "Employer").

Under the stock bonus portion of the Plan ("ESOP"),  CSX contributes a specified
number of shares of CSX  common  stock on an  annual  basis to the  accounts  of
participants who have met service  requirements for the preceding  calendar year
and remain employed on specified dates as defined in the applicable Summary Plan
Description.  These  shares  may  be  purchased  throughout  the  year  and  are
classified as "unallocated" shares until credited to the participants' accounts.
The CSX Common  Stock & ESOP Fund held  730,302  shares  valued at  $30,718  and
155,447 shares valued at $9,094 representing unallocated shares at September 30,
1998 and 1997, respectively.

NOTE 2.  DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN, Continued

Investment  Alternatives:  Participant  contributions  may be invested in one or
- ------------------------
more of the following investment funds: (1) the Stable Interest Fund, consisting
primarily of guaranteed  investment  contracts issued by highly-rated  insurance
companies; (2) the Fidelity Equity-Income Fund, consisting of a mutual fund that
invests in various securities selected primarily for a combination of income and
capital growth potential;  (3) the Vanguard Institutional Index Fund, consisting
of a mutual fund that invests in common and capital stocks selected primarily to
duplicate  the  performance  of the stock market as a whole;  (4) the  Twentieth
Century  Select  Fund,  consisting  of a mutual  fund that  invests  in  various
securities  selected  primarily for capital growth potential;  (5) the Twentieth
Century  Vista  Fund,  consisting  of a mutual  fund that  invests in the common
stocks of small to medium-sized  companies selected primarily for capital growth
over time; (6) the Morgan  Stanley  International  Equity Fund,  consisting of a
mutual fund that invests in the stocks of companies  located  outside the United
States selected  primarily to achieve  long-term  growth by participating in the
growth of foreign  economies;  and (7) the CSX Common Stock Fund,  consisting of
investments in CSX common stock.

Amounts  allocated to any of these funds may be temporarily  retained as cash or
invested in cash  equivalents to facilitate the  investment or  reinvestment  of
Plan assets and the distribution of account balances to participants.

Participant Contributions: A participant may contribute from 1% to 15% of his or
- -------------------------
her annual  compensation,  in 1% multiples,  to the Plan. In addition,  the Plan
permits certain eligible participants to contribute other compensatory awards to
the Plan. All  participant  contributions  may be made on a before- or after-tax
basis within the limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code and may be invested
in any combination of the seven investment  alternatives.  Investment  direction
may be revised by participants daily.

Employer  Contributions:  Contributions  to the profit  sharing  and stock bonus
- -----------------------
portion  of the Plan are made by the  Employer  in the  number  of shares of CSX
common  stock at least equal to the Company  Stock  Multiple  (as defined in the
Summary Plan Description)  applicable to the participating group or an amount of
cash which  would  permit the  acquisition  of that number of shares on the open
market at the then available  market  prices.  Such employer  contributions,  if
applicable,  are funded as defined by the Summary Plan Description each calendar
year.

The Plan also provides for Employer matching  contributions for certain eligible
employees in an amount equal to the lesser of 50% of those participants' capital
savings  contributions  or 3% of their  annual base  compensation.  All employer
matching  contributions  are invested in CSX common stock, with the exception of
certain eligible employees who may direct up to 50% of the company  contribution
in 25% multiples in any of the seven investment funds.

NOTE 2.  DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN, Continued

Vesting,   Withdrawals,   Distributions   and   Forfeitures:   Participants  are
- -----------------------------------------------------------
immediately  vested  in  their  voluntary  contributions  plus  actual  earnings
thereon.  Vesting  in the  remainder  of  their  accounts  is  based on years of
service.  A participant is 100% vested after five years of credited service,  or
upon  death,  disability  or  retirement.   Withdrawals  and  distributions  are
controlled in  accordance  with the  provisions  of the Plan.  Amounts not fully
vested at the time of withdrawal are redistributed to the individual participant
accounts of those participants remaining in the Plan.

Participant   Accounts:   Each  participant's   account  is  credited  with  the
- ----------------------
participant's   contributions,   the  appropriate   portion  of  the  Employer's
contribution  and an allocation of Plan earnings and  forfeitures  of terminated
participants' nonvested accounts. The benefit to which a participant is entitled
is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's account.

Plan  Termination:  Although  it has not  expressed  any  intent  to do so,  the
- -----------------
Employer has the right under the Plan to discontinue  its  contributions  at any
time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.  In the event
of plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.

Administrative  Expenses: The administrative expenses of the Plan are payable by
- ------------------------
CSX or from Plan funds as the Plan  Administrative  Committee  from time to time
directs.  CSX paid a portion of the  administrative  expenses of the Plan during
1998 and 1997.

investments are invested in CSX common stock which is a concentration of risk.

Loan Fund:  Substantially  all of  the assets held in  this fund as of September
- ---------

NOTE 4.  INCOME TAX STATUS

The Plan received a determination  letter from the Internal Revenue Service (the
Service)  dated March 7, 1996,  stating that in form the Plan and Trust  satisfy
the  requirements  for  qualification  and exemption  under Sections  401(a) and
501(a) of the Internal  Revenue Code (IRC),  respectively.  Notwithstanding  the
favorable  determinations  of the  Service,  the Plan and Trust are  required to
operate  in  conformity  with  the  IRC  to  maintain  their  qualification  and
exemption.

During 1998,  certain amounts were  transferred to the Plan and used to purchase
shares of CSX common  stock on the open market in excess of the number of shares
needed to discharge the participating employers' contribution obligations to the
Plan for the plan year ended  September  30,  1998.  Such  shares are being held
under the Plan in an unallocated share account and totaled approximately 540,000
shares with a fair market value of $23,142 at September 30, 1998.  CSX, the Plan
sponsor,  has filed a request for a private  letter ruling with the Service with
respect  to this  transaction  and  also  intends  to make a  filing  under  the
Voluntary  Compliance  Resolution  component of the Internal  Revenue  Service's
Employee Plans Compliance  Resolution  System.  The Plan Sponsor and its outside
legal counsel believe that any issues  regarding the  qualification  of the Plan
will be favorably resolved. The Plan sponsor has indicated that it will take all
necessary steps to maintain the Plan's qualified status.

NOTE 5.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

CSX and its subsidiaries provide the Plan with certain management and accounting
services.  During fiscal years 1998 and 1997,  the Plan  reimbursed  CSX and its
subsidiaries $69 and $62, respectively,  for these services which are considered
reasonable  and  customary  expenses of the Plan.  During  fiscal years 1998 and
1997,  the Plan  received  $5,534 and $4,386,  respectively,  representing  cash
dividends from CSX common stock.

The trustee,  The Northern Trust Company,  invests Plan assets in the Collective
Short-Term  Investment  Fund of The Northern Trust Company.  For the fiscal year
ended  September  30, 1998,  transactions  involving  this account  included 145
purchases at a total cost of $31,115 and 157 sales with a fair value of $29,148.

included  484  purchases  at a total cost of  $24,186  and 246 sales with a fair

NOTE 6.  PLAN AMENDMENT

Effective May 1, 1998, the Plan was amended to allow Plan participants to obtain
loans  from  their  participant   accounts,   subject  to  certain  limitations.
Investments in loans to participants are carried at their outstanding  principal
balances,  which  approximates fair value. Such loans bear interest at the prime
rate in effect at the beginning of the quarter in which each loan originated.

NOTE 7.  CONRAIL TRANSACTION

Due to the  joint  acquisition  of  Conrail  Inc.  by CSX and  Norfolk  Southern
Corporation,  approximately  7,000 former  Conrail and CSX employees will become
eligible for the Plan on or about June 1, 1999.
