No, they have low headlight style, but they do have some C40-8Ws with high lights

Sorry to have to point this out, but that's a C40-8W of Conrail heritage. The give away is the marker lights on the side of the nose above the numberboards. Conrail ordered those markers on all their loco's. You will see the same on the SD-80Mac's that were divided up between NS and CSX also.

I got a better idea, we eastern love csx but we haven't seen Heritage from CSX. Should we vote for Heritage repaint units as well? NS has its Heritage and UP why not CSX? !!*ok*!!

I have thought about sending CSX a letter! It would be a great idea. But, I read in trains mag, that someone HIGH up in CSX, said that they have no intention of doing a heritage series. He said NS had a very nice thing going, but that was not in the works for CSX. *!sad!* I don't know why not. NS got a LOT of attention with it.

Yes I realized I typed that wrong, autocorrect just sucks !**duh*!!
And Nate, CSX has never been railfanning-friendly since 9/11, they will likely never have a steam program nor heritage units, they are one of the worst railroads about that other than metro north and others like that. They see a guy with a camera as a potential terrorist, which is why Amtrak banned cameras from platforms a while back, but that rule has been withdrawn. I read all about it in trains mag, their security has been part of their success in business in SOME cases, while in others, throwing money into unnecessary security stuff has only made them lose more money.

Andrew Fletcher sent CSX his 20 heritage repaint drawings like he did NS but CSX is unlikely to do their set of heritage engines. I'd vote yes for someone to do the railworks repaints.

Wouldn't it be possible to move the headlights on the Kuju ES44AC? I'm sure papa would know how to.

You can only move child objects around. Most if not all of RSC's locomotives have all their parts as part of the main model. So no you cannot move the lights around.
