Lately I've been seeing a TV commercial about CSX, beginning by depiciting a long line of trucks on a highway, that is replaced onscreen with a long line of royal blue shipping containers on a train, featuring a yellow logo listing "CSX" written over what appear to be two pair of train wheels
Is this actually a current CSX container livery, or just something made up for marketing purposes? It's a catchy logo.
.....Same commerical running here. And another CSX add is running occasionally.....Glad to see RR's advertising....Putting their name's out there with other businessses. Telling the massses they are still here doing commerice....and I'd wager many of them {of the masses}, have no idea they are.

Except the company that had to get the engine outta there, guess they did it themselves. But the commercial was interesting, also have seen spots for NS too.
Sarcasm :D
I haven't seen any CSX commercials, but I have heard them on the radio. I have seen an NS commercial though.
Speaking of CSX, there was a string of CSX "hi cube" box cars on a BNSF freight the other night, and all of them had the "Big Blue" slogan painted on them. I had never seen that before, but I am assuming that is an old slogan..
A railfan I know habitually counts the cars on any freight that goes through his watching post at Fillerton, CA. After a 140 car BNSF double stack he will say "Well. that's 280 trucks not on the road." Same message as CSX.

This CSX commercial is catchy, as well.
And this one really makes me wonder who they must have hired new for their ad dept.very creative.
