back then, CSX was a company that had no idea what it wanted to be....tons of different paint schemes, poorly maintained equipment, substandard track maintenance. Thankfully they FINALLY got a decent paint scheme after about 7 tries, and seem to finally be interested in running a decent railroad. Sure took them long enough. NS, on the other hand, has been an excellent railroad from day 1.

Yea, that's what I heard. When you're young like I was then, you don't care about that, I wanted to see trains and this was the place to be.
I personally like the Bright Future paint scheme instead of the new one. You can see it better in darker conditions.
And yes lately, CSX has been doing a lot of track improvement the past 10 months of so. I don't know why they waited so long to get going.

Those were the days. Sadly, I barely remember the days on the all-EMD consist and the land before GEVO time. I wish we still run like that today.
BTW, that CSX 7668 was running around here for a couple of weeks on work trains. Paint is a bit rough around the cab compared to 1991.

Well, fortunately the A772 there at Folkston was running the EMD stuff.
Of course when I taped much of this, GE was just beginning to make it big with the C40's and later the CW40's, so EMD was still king.
