They come in all colors
Title:  They come in all colors
Description:  There was a wide range of paint schemes on CSX in the early days, as Chessie and Seaboard had not painted all of their component roads in their schemes as of the merger date. It resulted in power sets like this one at the Huntington shop. Oddly, the one CSX painted unit in this group is the one that will be off the roster soonest.

Old power
Title:  Old power
Description:  A lot of things were in Huntington the day we passed on the Cardinal, including some older units that had been rebuilt. Some were in CSX paint but most were in their SBD schemes, such as this one.
