Pan Am Systems was a privately held Portsmouth, New Hampshire-based[1] Florida corporation composed of rail transport, manufacturing and energy, transportation related brands, and real estate divisions.[2] It formerly held a now-defunct airline division.

Pan Am Systems was put up for sale in July 2020.[3] On November 30, 2020, CSX Corporation announced that it had signed a definitive agreement to purchase Pan Am Systems. The sale of Pan Am Systems to CSX underwent regulatory review by the Surface Transportation Board,[4][5] which approved the sale on April 14, 2022.[6] At midnight on June 1, 2022, CSX began operating Pan Am Systems and its Pan Am Railways; also, Pan Am Systems was merged into a temporary subsidiary of CSX which will eventually merge into CSX.
