Beautiful! And I am so glad that CSX is doing this. However, I suspect the only reason why is that the same Dark Future colors are used, and less of the yellow, so if anything, they saved money on painting this in the heritage scheme.

Why did they change the number from 4617 and why doesn't it have a yellow nose with CSX on it?

Wonder if they painted the bottom lf the fuel tank. Once heard a tale from I think the GM&O where the shop crew weren't authorized to do a full repaint and since they didn't paint the bottom of the fuel tank it didn't count as a full repaint.

Any word of other units being painted in fallen flag colors?

The horn needs to be back where it belongs, too.

Why does it have Contrail-style marker lights?

I don't care about all of the critics and nay-sayers - a couple days on the road and grime and it will look like the C & O of old. I think it looks great - thanks for posting Mike!

Wow!! This is exciting i'm so glad CSX is doing this. I don't wanna be greedy but next they need to paint some new units and put em on the mainlines.
