Seaboard System
The Seaboard System Railroad was a railroad subsidiary of the CSX Corporation, created as an intermediate step in the mergers that would eventually form the current CSX Transportation. Its roots were in the Family Lines System, a marketing name adopted by the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad (SCL, a 1967 consolidation of the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line) and its various subsidiaries in 1972.
