has anyone spotted this, or am I the first?

[CSX5220]

Went out train watching the other day, when I noticed a freshly painted unit. No I know that is not uncommon but to see it in this livery could it be? I am talking about a CSXT AC60CW made by GE in Dark Future (YN3) Scheme. I know of about 4 that only exist in this scheme could this be number 5?

would be a nice addition to Trainz

Jointed rail does have a ES44DC in Yn3. I know it's not the same. I really wish JR would make more GE beasts.

you know, I am really sorry, but you'll have to excuse my ignorance. What is unusual here, the unit, the paint scheme, or the unit in the paint scheme? To me, the paint looks like most of the the other units that run in New England (most of the GE's look the same also, to be truthful).

That type of unit in the "Dark Future" scheme. Most of them are in the earlier YN2 or whatever it's called other scheme.

Phil_C has made some in the old paint, you could buy those and repaint them if you want to live with the inaccurate dimensions.

The unit in question is 695. Nikos is correct in that the order for the ac60's were delivered either in the diversity in motion or yn2 (bright future) I live along the Boston and Albany Line in NY so I do see my fair of motive power. There was a time when all csx ran was the 6000's but now its the gevo's. What burns me is that the 80mac's are repainted into this 'dark future' scheme when these engines rained supreme on the Boston line. It think it is far to say that the ac scheme that Conrail placed on the engines were entirely different prospects between the 2 railroads.
