'''Coke Express''' trains are [[unit train]]s operated by [[CSX Transportation]].<ref>[https://www.csx.com/index.cfm/customers/commodities/coal/resources/ Equipment]</ref> They carry [[coke (fuel)|coke]] for [[steelmaking]], [[power generation]] and other various uses. These cars consist of a mixture of standard and high-topped open-top [[hopper car]]s, most of which are owned by CSX. Many of the high-capacity hoppers built for CSX are painted with large letters that read "COKE EXPRESS",<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urrlVtYuZOE Shows some of such cars]</ref> hence the nickname given to CSX coke trains.
