I guess in the two railroad world I live in, I'd have to choose the CSX paint scheme over NS black and white.  And I am old fashioned enough to wish they would bring the Cat back, too- but as a railroad exec told me, "paint don't pay the bills".Anyway, the explanations I have heard about the CSXT marks all seem to be pretty much in agreement about how the name got stuck on the railroad.  I think that when you see X on the end of reporting marks, it indicates one of two things:1) Common use.  TTX is a holding company owned by all the railroads which administers trailer on flat car or container traffic, usually in the form of multiple body units.2) Private owners.  I've seen ADMX tank cars routinely spotted in Phoenix, Arizona, delivering megatonnage of corn oil.  ADM is Archer-Daniels-Midland, the agriculture giant.  Here near the Home of Army Infantry, Fort Benning, I also see cars marked DODX- US government box cars with the Department of Defense.  Not exactly a private owner, but close enough.Hope that's accurate.
