CSX (NASDAQ:CSX) is one of the US's biggest railroad companies, and the company offers strong income potential for investors. By using option strategies, investors can increase their income stream derived from CSX. With a market capitalization of $25 billion, CSX is the second-biggest publicly traded US railroad (after Union Pacific (NYSE:UNP), which has a market capitalization of $69 billion).
