Pic of the Day (H-795-14)
On Tuesday evening, CSX train H-795-14 (Toledo/Walbridge Yard, OH - Fostoria, OH Mixing Center turn, auto racks) is ready to go and departing the north end of the C&O yard to return to Toledo, sporting a pair of locomotives, one each in CSX's "YN2" and "YN3" schemes, the former (GP38-2 # 2690, originally L&N/Family Lines 6039) in bad need of a dip in the YN3, and the latter (GP40-2 # 4436, ex-CR 3363) still looking pretty good in its newer paint. Despite CSX's many variations on its paint scheme over the years, it is still essentially the same scheme as it has been since the word "Transportation" was done away with shortly after the 1986 inception of a CSX paint scheme: A big, chunky, block "CSX" on the side, nose, and rear, and some variation of blue, grey, and yellow. Not exactly the stuff legendary paint jobs are made of, but when your name is just a bunch of letters anyway, I guess uninspiring just fits the bill.
