    From 05/23/1993 at Columbia, SC, CSX 464 is crossing beneath the NS line between Columbia and Charlotte. This isn't the safest area in the city, but I figured that an early Sunday morning visit would be okay. At the time, there was talk of building a ramp here to allow NS trains to use the CSX line into the city and provide abandonment of the NS line, but community opposition brought an end to that plan.

    From 08/08/2015 at the north end of the siding at Camden, SC, CSX muscles north toward Hamlet, NC. I miss the SAL signals, now replaced with incurable PTC "Vaders".

    I want one of those Grey colored schemes one day on CSX for my N Scale layout. If I can ever find something I like, and new?

    BTW, just an observation, funny seeing @BNSF FAN make a post about CSX. And yes I know that means nothing at all! No matter your screen name we all post everything. I just thought it was funny for some dumb reason :)

    Move along :) Post away! Apparently I was bored!

    BTW, what are they called, liveries ( as in aircraft ), schemes, paint jobs, etc...? What is the official train word or phrase?

    I'm probably wrong, but I associate "livery" with European modelers and "paint scheme" with North American modelers. Either is fine.

    I've heard both ways as well, some say liveries, and some say paint schemes.:rolleyes:

    From May 1989 at Calera, AL on the former L&N main. All kinds of CSX family "liveries" here! :D

    More colorful ones from May 1989 on the former L&N, but at Fort Deposit, AL. Definitely a cool era to be a CSX fan.

    I keep calling them liveries cause that's what we call different aircraft paint jobs in flight simulation, my other main hobby! Glad to know it is acceptable :)

    On the former ACL at Florence, SC on 01/25/1992 when "stealth" was in vogue on CSX.

    Wow, now I know why they added the Yellow to it :) Talk about stealth, seems dangerous?

    Is that trailing GE a BQ23-7, one of those oddball expanded cab units for the extra crew displaced by the removal of cabooses?

    Sweet selection of paint schemes!

    You have a sharp eye! Ten were built for the SCL, all were off the roster by 2001. With crews refusing to operate these leading a train, windows were later replaced with steel plate and they were given a "B" suffix. I found two in my travels.

    The 3009 in 05/1989 at Montgomery, AL:

    Looks like someone was staring at you? A wary crew member?

    Yes indeed, in fact we were yelled at from a window of a nearby CSX office soon thereafter. The Amtrak station is close by as well and to this day, you dare not take pictures from the platform. It's all kind of weird. I have no idea why the area is so closely watched.
