My favorite would have to be the Pennsylvania heritage unit! Me and my dad love prr (Pennsylvania rail road) Because ,my mother is from there, and of all the locomotives they have! You also cant forget that iconic keystone, and the beautiful Tuscon red paint schemes!

Do one of you guys know any railways for a good Railcam shot?

They have been sold to CP to be used as parts sources for the Progress Rail SD70ACU rebuild and upgrade program. As far as I've heard, they are at the Weston Shops in Winnipeg. Right now, the Conrail Historical Society is trying to negotiate with CP to get one, but I'm not sure how well that will go.

Who knows? It might happen, or it might not.

More unlikely than likely, but possible. Considering they didn't get Progress Rail's big MACs in time, they might not get these, either.

Are you talking about new trains or old trains?

New York Central and Conrail, but I like the look of Illinois Terminal and Interstate schemes.

CSX History
See also: List of CSX Transportation predecessor railroads

CSX Transportation Building in Jacksonville, Florida
CSX Corporation was formed on November 1, 1980, as a merger between Chessie System and Seaboard Coast Line Industries.


Original logo for the CSX Corporation, emphasizing the “multiplication symbol” X
The name came about during merger talks between Chessie System and SCL, commonly called “Chessie” and “Seaboard”. The company chairmen said it was important for the new name to include neither of those names because it was a partnership. Employees were asked for suggestions, most of which consisted of combinations of the initials. At the same time a temporary shorthand name was needed for discussions with the Interstate Commerce Commission. “CSC” was chosen but belonged to a trucking company in Virginia. “CSM” (for “Chessie-Seaboard Merger”) was also taken. The lawyers decided to use “CSX”, and the name stuck. In the public announcement, it was said that “CSX is singularly appropriate. C can stand for Chessie, S for Seaboard, and X, which actually has no meaning.” However, an August 9, 2016, article on the Railway Age website stated that “ … the ‘X’ was for ‘Consolidated’ ”. A fourth letter had to be added to CSX when used as a reporting mark because reporting marks that end in X means that the car is owned by a leasing company or private car owner.

The originator of SCL was the former Seaboard Air Line Railroad, which previously merged with the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad in 1967 to form the Seaboard Coast Line. In later years, it merged with the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, as well as several smaller subsidiaries such as the Clinchfield Railroad, Atlanta & West Point Railroad, Monon Railroad and the Georgia Railroad. From the late 1970s onward, these railroads were known collectively as the Family Lines. In 1982, they were merged into a single railroad, the Seaboard System Railroad.

The origin of the Chessie System was the former Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, which had merged with the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and the Western Maryland Railway.

Despite the merger in 1980, CSX was a paper railroad (meaning no CSX painted locomotives or rolling stock) until 1986. In that year, Seaboard System changed its name to CSX Transportation. On April 30, 1987, the B&O merged into the C&O. With the Western Maryland having already merged into the C&O, this left the C&O as the sole operating railroad under the Chessie System banner. Finally, on August 31, 1987, C&O/Chessie System merged into CSX Transportation, bringing all of the major CSX railroads under one banner.
