    Richard,
    Great variety of units in your pictures! [​IMG] All of the leasers on CSX certainly make it colorful.

    Thanks for sharing!

    The bodywork on 2284 looks a bit the worse for wear! I love the FURX sceme [​IMG]

    Thanks for showing the pics, good variety Richard [​IMG]

    Hey Richard,
    Did you notice how closely the HLCX new scheme matches the CSX new scheme?? :D I guess they know their best customer!

    I did notice the odd new blue. Looks a little like what the new CSX blue will probably look like when the shine goes away. :D The overall scheme reminds me more of the FEC though.

    True, it does look like FEC, especially with those stripes. :D

    The last time I was in Columbia was a good 10+ years ago... I went to the USC baseball field because my brother-in-law played for USC. It sure was nice to see the trains running behind the outfield! :D

    The HLCX units were painted in CSX's shop in Huntington, WV. I was told that the units are painted the same shade of blue as all the current CSX units are being painted.

    Ah ha! [​IMG] So, I am not imagining that they look like CSX units after all!

    Nice shots, Richard. I still like the CSX SD40's (even though they have been rebuilt to SD40-2 standards). Nice grey ghost leaser too!

    Those last two SD40-2's are rebuilt ex-C&O units...

    I really like them. [​IMG]

    Time to add in a few more sightings from Columbia. My time there is now done. It's good to be back in Atlanta.
