Okay, so this is not a CSX heritage unit but if you squint real hard and turn your head sideways it could be.

It's been fun.  But it isn't much fun anymore.   Signing off for now.

Sadly the C&O heritage unit was vandalized here a few days ago.

Maybe it can work its way to Cartersville, GA and get an attack of beneficial vandalism. 

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

That foamer vandalism crap was just as bad as the black spray paint on the nose of the C&O engine.

At least it was authentic to the spirt of heritage units.

Maybe it is a "what if" the C&O became part of Penn Central?
