Where to serve CSX Transportation in Ohio
Check the exact company name on your court papers against its current Ohio agent record. If your verified service instructions direct delivery to CT Corporation, its published Columbus service-of-process address is:
CSX Transportation, Inc.
c/o C T Corporation System
4400 Easton Commons Way, Suite 125
Columbus, OH 43219
RVB can deliver the papers to the confirmed agent on your behalf. Include the company’s full name and the court’s service instructions with your order.
Make sure your papers name the right CSX company
CSX Transportation, Inc. and CSX Corporation are separate companies. Use the full company name shown on your issued papers. If your case names CSX Corporation, CSX Intermodal Terminals, or another CSX company, include that company’s service instructions.
For service on CSX Transportation through CT Corporation, the papers should name CSX Transportation, Inc., care of CT Corporation. The agent receives the papers on behalf of the named company; it does not become the defendant.

Questions about serving CSX Transportation
Who is CSX Transportation’s statutory agent in Ohio?
Use the Ohio Secretary of State Business Search to confirm CSX Transportation, Inc.’s current statutory agent and address before submitting your service request. Send RVB that confirmed information with your documents and service instructions. If the record directs you to CT Corporation, use the Columbus address above.
What does RVB charge for delivery to CT Corporation?
Our CT Corporation service offer is $65. Tell us your deadline and any special requirements when you submit the assignment so we can confirm the applicable service and pricing.
When can papers be delivered to CT Corporation?
CT publishes general service-of-process hours of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Include your deadline when you contact RVB so we can plan the delivery around the receiving office’s hours.
Can RVB deliver the papers in Columbus if my case was filed elsewhere?
We handle statutory-agent deliveries in Columbus for Ohio and out-of-state assignments. Send the issuing court’s service instructions and any required appointment with the papers.
Can I email the documents directly to CT Corporation?
CT’s published instructions say email and fax are not accepted delivery methods. Uploading documents to RVB starts your service request; it does not itself serve CSX.
What if I need records from CSX?
CT says it is not the records custodian for its customers. A subpoena seeking a company’s records should identify that company, not direct CT to produce them. Ask your attorney about the correct recipient and service requirements, then send RVB the issued documents and instructions.
Will RVB file the return with the court?
No. We provide the completed return or affidavit to the designated contact. You or your attorney are responsible for filing it with the court.
Are CSX Corporation and CSX Transportation, Inc. the same defendant?
No. CSX’s corporate-structure page identifies CSX Corporation as the parent and its subsidiaries as separate companies. Match the exact name on the issued papers to that company’s agent record. Do not substitute a parent or affiliate because the companies use the CSX brand.
Does submitting a ShipCSX freight claim serve court papers?
No. The ShipCSX Claims Management tool handles loss or damage reports and freight claims. A claim submission is separate from service of an issued summons, complaint or subpoena. Send RVB the court papers and required delivery instructions for the legal assignment.
