Failure Taught Them How to Succeed
My father and my mother's brother began their careers in the now defunct savings and loan industry in Chicago in the late 1950s. My uncle George was a young executive at Fairfield Savings and Loan, where his father, my grandfather, was president. In the early 1940s, my grandfather—'Pa' to us grandkids—had been a federal bank examiner. When the government decided to convert the failing Fairfield bank into a savings and loan—commonplace after the Depression—Pa got the nod. Right place, right time. My dad was an apprentice real estate appraiser at Draper and Kramer, a mortgage banking company. Established in 1893 by Arthur W. Draper and Adolph F. Kramer, the firm still operates today. According to its website, it became 'one of Chicago's premiere mortgage banking and residential real estate management firms,' promoting home ownership and providing residential financing during a critical period of city growth.

CSX profit falls 14% in the second quarter even though rail shipments were flat
CSX railroad's profit slipped 14% in the second quarter even though the volume of shipments it delivered remained flat as it continued working on two major construction projects on its network. The Jacksonville, Florida-based railroad said Wednesday it earned $829 million, or $0.44 per share. That's down from $963 million, or $0.49 per share, a year ago. That's in line with what the analysts surveyed by FactSet Research predicted. CSX is in the middle of expanding a key tunnel in Baltimore, so it will be able to carry double-stacked shipping containers, and the railroad is completing repairs related to Hurricanes Helene and Milton. But CEO Joe Hinrichs said the railroad is operating much more fluidly than it was in the first quarter of this year when the results disappointed. CSX's latest earnings report comes as rumors swirl in the industry about t he possibility that a merger between two of the largest freight railroads might be proposed. The Associated Press reported last week that Union Pacific was in merger talks with Norfolk Southern. If merger actions heat up in the industry, CSX could be a target for one of the western railroads trying to build a transcontinental network. But the prospects for any deals among the major freight railroads remain uncertain because regulators might be reluctant to approve them. CSX is one of the major freight railroads that serves the eastern United States and competes with Norfolk Southern.

CSX Corp. Announces Second Quarter 2025 Results
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., July 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CSX Corp. (NASDAQ: CSX) today announced second quarter 2025 operating income of $1.28 billion compared to $1.45 billion in the prior year period. Net income was $829 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, compared to $963 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, in the same period last year. Total volume of 1.58 million units for the quarter was flat compared to second quarter 2024 and up 4% sequentially. 'The skill and commitment of CSX's railroaders enabled us to deliver significant sequential improvements in network fluidity and cost efficiency that are apparent in our financial results,' said Joe Hinrichs, president and chief executive officer. 'While uncertainty continues to impact select industrial markets, we remain focused on completing two major infrastructure projects that will strengthen our position to execute on many profitable growth opportunities ahead.' Second Quarter Financial Highlights Revenue totaled $3.57 billion for the quarter, decreasing 3% year-over-year, as the effects of lower export coal prices, reduced fuel surcharge, and a decline in merchandise volume were only partially offset by higher merchandise pricing, an increase in other revenue, and growth in intermodal volume.

CSX's operating margin was 35.9% for the quarter, decreasing by 320 basis points year-over-year but increasing by 550 basis points sequentially.
