New CSX Image

[Chessie8638]

Anyone want to be the first to repaint one of these for the ES44AC (real locomotive is a ES44AH).


"How Tomorrow Moves" Units to have this will be the new ES44AH order. Road Numbers #950-999. Call it a YN3 HTM?

Call it a YN3 HTM?

Simply YN4 or HTM makes more sense to me, as there is no predecessor scheme with that logo. Personally, I like HTM and think its in keeping with their "tomorrow" moniker, but I suspect many will prefer calling it YN4 ("YN" naming is dated, and is going to get confusing soon, I suspect).

I like the logo. If they still had cabooses, would they put [/CSX] on them?

Yeah, I'm a geek.

Took this last weekend on a freight at Folkston, GA

Yea. My friend just got back from a trip. Saw a bunch of grain hoppers in the new scheme. At least CSX is trying to get under one paint scheme!

JMHO, CSX went in the wrong direction with HTM. When YN3 came out, Trains Magazine said it looked as if CSX were trying to look like a real railroad company, and most railfans like it. HTM is a throwback to the nasty (and plain) Stealth scheme, and when they rolled it out, I stopped fanning CSX.

The boxcar logo is an improvement, of sorts, but the scheme is still a long way from UP or KCS.
