CSX SD40-2 8404, the last unit in "YN1" paint was painted at Waycross this week into the "YN3HTM" scheme. Here is a before and after view. The shot on the top was at KC Junction in Covington, Kentucky on August 26, 2012. The bottom shot was taken today (Saturday, December 1)

To break down the YN1 list somewhat, Road Slug 2236, GP40-2 6421, and C40-8 7509,7587,7589 are not considering YN1 units, but are still in a form of stealth paint, known as CSX GrayYN1p on the Bullsheet, and SD40-2 8089 as CSX GrayYN.

with it). He published a paint scheme roster of all CSX engines every 6 months, and YN2 was the "bright future" scheme. YN1 was the original blue and gray scheme with a yellow nose/rear and frame stripe added. Now that they came up with the new solid blue with gold nose/rear/frame stripe, he dubbed it YN3.

The previous CSX livery, with the blue, gray, and yellow, was coined "Bright Future" as it replaced a very conservative, and almost invisible, solid gray paint scheme. There was a transitional paint scheme that was known as "Yellow Nose," and when "Bright Future" came out these were abbreviated as YN1 and YN2 in the Bull Sheet.

Fourth pic is my custom painted CSX YN1 # 4211. As far as I know 4211 was the only GP30M to receive this scheme. Fifth pic is my custom painted CSX # 4216. CSX modelers know this was the very last active GP30M in service. I believe the 4216 was retired in early 1997. Sixth pic is my custom painted CSX # 4224.

Last Sunday 8/26 a northbound CSX from Louisville Ky. was lead by SD40-2 8040. Over the years I've encountered this unit in three of its five paint schemes.The first time was on May 18,1993 of it leading a southbound by Atlanta's Howell Jumction. On March 10,2004 it leads SD80MAC 0804 with K514 out

I don't believe any of the 10 CSX SD60's got the YN1 paint scheme. I think they all did get a yellow nose on the stealth scheme though, but that's not what the YN1 is (YN1 is the blue and gray, with a yellow nose and rear, and a yellow frame stripe). Also, someone else said Family Lines. L&N did order a batch of SD50's, and these probably

To my amazement this past weekend, saw a Eastbound CSX freight through Biloxi, MS with a C40-8 in YN1 paint (all gray with yellowed nose). Im surprised to see such a new unit still in this older paint scheme. Any other oddities like this still roaming around?
