Jacksonville-based CSX Corp. said June 17 it cut 86 jobs as part of a management realignment.

The layoffs last week, which affected employees mainly in Jacksonville, were part of a program to increase productivity and efficiency.

“The changes followed a careful review of our management organization that considered what work we should be focused on and whether that work resides in the right place in the organization,” the railroad company said in an emailed statement.

“The synergies achieved through these realignments unfortunately resulted in the reduction of some management positions across the company.”

CSX said the 86 employees were offered severance packages and assistance in their transition.
