Feb 8 2002 that the new design features a solid ,deep blue locomotive body with gold nose,tail and trim.the first locomotive to have the new look -CSXT # 8503 EMD model SD-50-was painted in Huntington,W.Va.

The web site CSX.com and go to current news. The article about the new paint scheme has the picture. You will see this article on the home page. CSXT.com does not have picture as yet.

C&O? What is that? Just kidding. The new scheme looks very nice. Need to get BNSF and UP to tone theirs down a little.
