Odd Color

[UPJohn]

I recently saw a picture of a CSX GP40 painted orange with CSX painted in black on the side. I was wondering what the history is behind this engine and were any others painted in this scheme because it would make an interesting model (i model n scale)

[ericsp]

CSX assigned some locomotives to MOW duty, they were painted orange. I don't how many where assigned or if any are still so assigned.

[ndbprr]

They are assigned to Maintenance but can be used for road work also when needed. I believe NS does the same thing painting them very light gray. The logic escapes me unless they are the dogs and they don't want to risk them hauling loads unless they have to.

I know I've seen some MOW rolling stock in that scheme so that does make sense.
