Check this out: Big Blue Train!

[cookiemae]

I was out the other day watching trains when a CSX ACE in Dark Territory paint scheme rumbled past with an unusual train of blue box cars that actually matched the ACE's paint scheme. I was not able to take pictures as I did not have a camera with me, however, I recreated the train as shown...

CSX Big Blue Train....

I will have to do more research on tho the specifics of the real train.

I've grown to enjoy CSX and use them frequently on my Boston Line which was originally supposed to be set in the late 90s....however, there will be only one Big Blue: Conrail

Big blue Different for Me

The only Big blue I knew before this was a passenger train someone owned in the club I'm a member of. It consisted of three engines, one in the front, middle, and back and it had ten passenger cars I believe. It was mostly blue so the owner called it Big Blue. To his dismay, a kid derailed the front engine at a train show so it fell 2 - 3 feet and struck solid concrete. The other engines kept pushing the train off the table. The only good thing is that it was LEGO and it recently ran again at a show.
