One of the many things I enjoy about modelling csx is they tend to have a lot of diffent history. Now I know that all of the carriers have their own history but it seems that CSX has a greater amount of different history. CSX is really a number of Fallen flags roled into one and a lot of the older equipmnt is around I.e. Chessie and Seaboard locomotives, plus the many variations of the csx scheme. That you can be surprised by each train you see. <br /> <br />Plus a lot of their lines are old lines that still hold their charm. Sandpatch is one line that comes to mind. It may have new equipment and a slightly different look but not much has changed operation wise. the same problems that were around before still haunt the csx today. The line that runs through Akron Ohio, my town, hasn't changed very much in the past couple decades. Many other carriers are long gone but the old b&o mainline is still running the same route it did, now as the CSX. Times have changed but the line hasn't. And each subdivison has it's own character. Partly due the terrain but it makes things interesting. <br />Maybe I'm tired and had to many cups of coffee tonight. Nonetheless these are some of the things that caught my interest in CSX. hopefully we'll get to see a good size layout in MRR soon. i was happy with the flatlands layout which had some CSX on it. Maybe on day one of our layouts will grace the cover of MRR with a CSX engine leading. <br />Andrew[soapbox]
