CSX's eleventh heritage unit is here!

Only a three week turnaround between this one and 1836! Way to go Waycross paint shop!

It will look more historically accurate when the engine oil starts puking down its side and mixes with the coal dust that was dumped on top of it at a loading facility.

Great photos bringing back great memories. I grew up in a small town in central KY where the L&N crossed the C&O at a diamond. Unfortunately, the scenic C&O track was abandoned and pulled up in the early 1980s, along with the beautiful shared depot.

I saw CSX 1982 (the Seaboard Systems heritage unit) sitting on a bridge above I-77 in Charlotte today. First time seeing one of those heritage units in person!

The Seaboard Coast Lines/Atlantic Coast Lines colors are painted on CSX 1972! The Fallen Lines scheme is COOL! 😁😁😁😁😁😁

If they do a Pere Marquette unit, I pray to god that they don’t rehash the C&O paint. As we’ve already seen with the Monon unit, the black with gold lettering is honestly a great contrast with the YN3 blue
