i wish CSX would redo it's livery... it's downright ugly!

This is honestly the first time I have been intrigued by pictures of a train. Well done, they look great!

@tirediron, That is the old scheme, Most railfans like to go after that scheme since its being replaced with the new scheme.

@Calvin with Signs.com , Thanks ya!

What's their new livery look like?

That's what I was wondering (although I don't know what livery means related to trains), guess there are only old trains here because this one looks familiar.

Mehhh... they're all ugly. I think it's mainly their font choice. I really dislike serif fonts at the best of times and when they're eight feet tall I hate 'em!

Nice photo of those SD70M's! We get them sometimes leading NS trains over here.

A rare sight, seems to be happening more often this year, this marks the 3rd Foreign Power leading on the RF&P, Due to the cab signal aspect on the RF&P it requires a CSX motor with cab signals to lead. So this is quite a rare occurrence.

One from last November. Wish I kept the RAW files. But back then I didn't have a External HD and had limited space on my PC HD

Shooting trains from a station platform (post #86) or from public property (post #85) is OK.
Trespassing on the railroad's ROW (Right Of Way) to make photos (posts #87 & #89) isn't OK.
