New paint
Title:  New paint
Description:  It took a while, but CSX started to paint its power in their new corporate image, one a safety officer-and, it turned out, everyone else-would hate. One can interepret the blue/gray theme any number of ways, but this scheme was most unremarkable. Two of the three units on this helper set pass Point of Rocks heading west.
