Yep. 4617, the last CSX loco still in C&O colors, fresh out of the paint booth in YN3 colors.

Happier times:

I'm going to miss it. :'(

I hate to see it go, but in a way it's better this way. At least now she'll have a good coat on her and we won't have to worry so much about the old paint flaking off and rusting her.

I kinda like the new livery better! I feel the original C&O paint job was a bit drab and dull. Of course I was always more into the B&O!

While it's hardly related to the modern diesel, so long C&O for connecting Cass, WV, with the rest of the country!

Cheerio,
John

I guess CSX isn't into the fallen flag schemes as much as UP

I guess not. UP has left 5371 painted in its Rio Grande scheme to this day. And I assume she will be keeping it even into her future life in Utah (hopefully active too)

That's good to know.
