Hand me down, needs paint
Title:  Hand me down, needs paint
Description:  This second hand unit-looks like an ex SBD GP 16-needs a new coat of paint. All the other power we saw that day was in the L&Is attractive green and yellow. Old gray units still switch cars, though!!

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.
