Item 5.03.  Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On September 24, 2008, at the reconvened 2008 annual meeting of shareholders of CSX Corporation (“CSX”), the final report of IVS Associates, CSX’s independent inspector of elections, was received by CSX and CSX accepted the voting results on all matters for the 2008 annual meeting as certified in that report.

As a result, certain amendments to the Bylaws of CSX (the “Bylaws”) proposed by the TCI/3G Group became effective immediately, which amendments permit one or more shareholders holding 15% or more of the outstanding shares of capital stock of CSX having voting power to call a special meeting of the shareholders and repeal any changes to the Bylaws made by the board of directors of CSX between January 1, 2008 up to and including the date of the 2008 annual meeting.

The foregoing amendments to the Bylaws became effective on September 24, 2008.  A copy of CSX’s Bylaws, as amended and restated as of September 24, 2008, is attached as Exhibit 3.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated by reference.
 
Item 8.01.  Other Items.
 
Upon CSX’s acceptance of the final report of IVS Associates as described above, the voting results as certified therein became final and binding as to all matters submitted to a vote of CSX’s shareholders at the 2008 annual meeting.  The results of such voting have been previously furnished to the SEC on Forms 8-K dated July 31 and August 4, 2008.
