Richard, Great variety of units in your pictures! All of the leasers on CSX certainly make it colorful. Thanks for sharing! Harold
The bodywork on 2284 looks a bit the worse for wear! I love the FURX sceme Thanks for showing the pics, good variety Richard
Hey Richard, Did you notice how closely the HLCX new scheme matches the CSX new scheme?? I guess they know their best customer! Harold
I did notice the odd new blue. Looks a little like what the new CSX blue will probably look like when the shine goes away. The overall scheme reminds me more of the FEC though.
The last time I was in Columbia was a good 10+ years ago... I went to the USC baseball field because my brother-in-law played for USC. It sure was nice to see the trains running behind the outfield! Harold
The HLCX units were painted in CSX's shop in Huntington, WV. I was told that the units are painted the same shade of blue as all the current CSX units are being painted.
Nice shots, Richard. I still like the CSX SD40's (even though they have been rebuilt to SD40-2 standards). Nice grey ghost leaser too! Harold
Time to add in a few more sightings from Columbia. My time there is now done. It's good to be back in Atlanta.
