***News Flash: CSX goes to a "white long hood" paint scheme!***
NO, not really. But this view of train Q-340-16 (Cincinatti, OH - Willard, OH freight) at the B&O depot gives one some idea of what it might look like if they ever did, with the Monday evening sun (!) reflecting brightly off the sides of CSXT C40-8W #'s 7344 and 7769.

March 5th, 2008:
Spring may be on the way soon, but it was certainly not here yet on this winter morning of storm recovery, full of snow, ice, and grey skies.
Through the scene next to old B&O depot in Fostoria blasts BNSF SD70MAC # 9618, looking rather ghostly with its "BN" logo no longer on the nose. She is leading CSXT train U-994-04 (Cicero, IL/BNSF - Colona, PA Powder River coal loads) eastbound on B&O main # 2, along with BNSF SD70MAC # 9404, also in the "executive" colors. Both units also have fairly newly applied "swoosh" patches on the sides of the cabs, not visible here.
The winter weather delayed many trains on this day, but didn't keep the Fostoria Rails from being just as busy as ever.
