Those early CSX paint schemes were super ugly. What morons decided on gray/blue, since it's so hazardous when it comes to visibility issues? Thankfully they finally got it right with the current blue/yellow scheme.

Wow, talk about really making the grade look easy. I still couldn't believe the one time Tommy did it with Q138.. With this stuff thats amazing!

That had to be really rare, even in 1990, to see a unit still in original B&O livery! Excellent!

@gaycowboy31 Gotta love those CPL's. I have a fully restored one in my yard, and an extra to do for my garage. I had to rescue a few when they where taking them down, and glad I did. Sand Patch is still a neat place to visit, but since they removed the pole line, all the good shots are growing in cause they don't need to trim back the vegetation for the wires...
