It was reported that another CSX repainted unit has been sighted: << CSX D8-40CW 7314 in the new paint scheme arrived in Hamlet this morning at 0550 on train W607. >> So how many of there units have been repainted and at what rate are they being turned out? Harold
I know theres probably more but so far I have engines 4681 4691 7314 8317 8503 8663 8729 painted in the new scheme. F40PH`s 9992 and 9993 have been in Hunington WV for over a week and will more than likely be released in the new scheme. Later Michael Ridenhour WSSB/HPT&D Engineer

Thanks Michael, For those of you that don't know, Michael is the one that reported the quote in my original post. He has a lot of great information and I thank him for sharing it! Harold
The CSX F40 locmotives have now been repainted. Even worse than the others, I think its because they are so boxy, really really dark, and strike me as having a pretty low visibility to people down the track...
