[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by AntonioFP45 4884BigBoy, Nice shots! In looking at them, I have to admit that I find myself still trying to get used to the newer dark blue "C&O-throwback-Wanna-be" paint scheme. I really enjoyed the previous Gray, Blue, Yellow scheme introduced in 1987 or 89 and juse wished that CSX would have just repainted the faded locos back into the snappy scheme. I remember that Model Railroader even featured that paint scheme it in a well done article featuring a CSX GE Dash 7. It's understandable though as the newer paint scheme is cheaper to apply. Painting just one locomotive costs several thousand dollars, so the bean counters are going to be looking at cost savings. I can see why the UP has stayed with their scheme (with minor modifications) for 60 or 70 years! Nice to see that Conrail units are still crusing around. Take care! [/quote] Antonio, Thanks! I enjoy my shots too.[^][:p] The Gray Blue and Yellow scheme (YN2) is pretty cool, but what I really like is the newer "Dark Future" (YN3) scheme. Nothing looks cooler than a CSX SD70MAC in YN3! Other great CSX schemes were the Stealth Gray and the MOW Orange. Yes, I too love the Conrail units. There's a lot left on CSX, and quite a few on NS as well. That Conrail SD50 in the first pic was a rare find! I was glad to have been able to see it. To see more of my shots of CSX, chech out my railimages link in my signature.
