Central Japan Railway

The transportation supplier company , based in Jacksonville , USA , was formed in 1980 by the merger of Chessie System and Seaboard Coast Line Industries and eventually merged the various railroads owned by those predecessors into a single line that became known as CSX Transportation .
Founded the same day as the Eastern Japan Railway , the Central Japan Railway describes its management philosophy is to “ Contribute to community development by adhering to sound management principles , and provide modern , friendly , and reliable services ”. Generating just under £ 10 billion in sales , it seems to be doing a first class job .
