    I was wondering if CSX mostly or any other railroad patched any old Chessie System engines that were bought without doing a total repaint in that companies scheme. I found one that was a leased unit that had the side painted solid yellow but you could still see the logo on the hood. Anyone know of any or have any photos to share?

    Hi -

    You may get get a more informative response from our CSX fans if you post on our CSX sub-forum in the "Ready Track" here: http://www.trainboard.com/grapevine/forumdisplay.php?191-CSX-Corporation

    A quick Google Image search however produced loads of examples of old Chessie locos patched: https://www.google.com/search?q=pat...pQVPKhFM30igLgmYDgCQ&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ#imgdii=_

    I think my favorite out of the lot would be this chop-nosed GP9: http://www.american-rails.com/images/SPTChop96415.jpg

    Good luck with your search...
