The new program, which will be known as "STAX," will offer shippers competitive transit schedules, the advantage of intermodal pricing, expedited interline transfers, new equipment, service in lanes with the highest demand, and convenient billing. CSXI markets served by the STAX program are Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, Jacksonville, New York and Tampa. Markets served by the UP are Chicago, Dallas, Denver, El Paso, Fort Smith (Arkansas), Kansas City, Los Angeles, Memphis, Phoenix, Reno, Salt Lake City and St. Louis. The service began May 15, 2003.
