Nora is exactly right, the lightning bolt denotes AC locomotives. It should be noted that a few AC locomotives do not have lightning bolts, but no DC locomotives have them. As a frequent photographer of the CSX lines in West Virginia, I am really trying to like the scheme . . . but I just can't. I have two very basic problems: 1.) the white cabroofs, which I have abhorred since CSX introduced them, and 2.) the shade of yellow in the new scheme -- I even hesitate to call it yellow, more like mustard-brown. Beyond that, I find the new scheme does not weather very well. It takes only a little road grime for that navy blue to lose its punch and start looking like dingy charcoal. Finally, I really like matched consists, and the new paint scheme makes those all the harder to find. Having said all that, I will admit that those new 70MACs look pretty nice. I could go for a matched set of them on a coal train. And of course I realize that CSX locomotives hardly exist to fulfill my photographic desires, but a guy can complain, can't he???
