"CSX" is an acronym: Chessie, Seaboard, multiplication symbol. Above left: multiplication was lost in the first color scheme choice as the cat disappeared in a coat of dull grey (Cincinnati, June 1996). Center: older equipment often kept its paint but was renumbered, giving the cat another life (Cincinnati, May 1995). Right: the cat didn't return, but some color eventually did (Troy, October 1995). With its heritage of a large number of predecessor lines and color schemes, the changes seemed to let up only in time for the shared acquisition (with NS) of Conrail. #1-1999 (11 August 2003) #2000-2999 (13 August 2003) #3000-4999 (11 January 2006) #5000-5999 (23 June 2009) #6000-6499 (29 June 2009) #6500-6999 (19 August 2003) #7000-7999 (29 June 2009) #8000-8999 (28 March 2008) #9000-9999 (29 June 2006) CSX album at Railroad Picture Archives |
