Why doesn't CSX operate Roadrailer Trains anymore?
Why is NS successful in this venture but CSX isn't?

This goes to prove no matter what some foamers in a dirt lot in Petersburg, Austell, or Bellevue say, the Norfolk Southern is alive, well, and full of people who know what they are doing unlike the boys down in Jacksonville.That's pretty accurate, I'd say. Apart from NS's horrible history of labor relations, the company seems to be run reasonably well by people who have some understanding of railroading. Their track is MUCH better. Their locomotives mostly are in better repair. If we can believe Rush Loving's work, there are creative, sentient people running the business side of things.
