This was the first offiicial paint scheme of CSX (used between May thru September 1986) [After September CSX quickly removed the "TRANSPORTTION" from the locomotoves, except for U30C 7241 which lasted long all they way to its retirement. This paint scheme was the modification of the 6382 "Transportation" paint seen on CSX heritage 3040. All the "Transportation" painted engines where from the SBD side (116, 5508, 5511, 6382, 7241, 8310, 8938, 8961 and 8964) and one from the Chessie side (6344) which was the only one not sub lettered SBD, it was sub lettered B&O, and the only one repainted at a former Chessie shop (Huntington, WV). |
