Yes, the site is broken and it loops to robots.txt on the Wayback Machine.
Seems he excluded download pages from robots and history.
You are asking about the CSX paint scheme known as YN1
This page
https://web.archive.org/web/20120331130612/http://www.bullsheet.com/news/paintlegacy.html
gives the history of CSX paint schemes, and gives the numbers of the F units that received this scheme as 116-117-118-119
The company had no doubt grown unhappy with the scheme as well, and on August 21, 1989, it came up with its first design using a yellow nose. The engine getting that honor was SD40-2 unit 8420, which had been rebuilt from an SD40. This design - the fourth since CSX began painting engines three years earlier - restored blue to the top portion of the cab, applied yellow to the nose with blue lettering, and had an extra thick yellow frame stripe. This was actually a one-of-a-kind design, as on November 7 of that year the scheme was reintroduced on SD40-2 unit 8123 wearing the same colors, but with a four-inch yellow frame stripe in place of the broadened stripe of 8420. This was the beginning of the scheme that eventually became known as YN1.
The first YN1 loco was SD40-2 8123 with the broad 4 inch yellow side stripe:

This would be a good example of that style you are looking for on 116, an F7:

and this is the same loco:

A very good history of this locomotive is found here:

And the yellow nose remains so:

You should ask UP8328 if he still has those F7 reskin.

Never expected that you would still have the F7's after all these years. I'd go for getting them hosted on reggiestrainz. Not worth mentioning, the old site of yours from that time ago was disposed of by locking it down behind a username and password instead of simply deleting it. Were there any other reskins hosted on your old site? I might be interested in those.
Yea unfortunately I no longer have access to the account / email used to completely remove the site from existence. Only reskins that I have left on the hard drive are the CSX F7's & DLW F3's which need quite a bit of fixing from the errors I'm seeing in content manager.

No big deal, but whoever else had access to that account must've had something to hide or protect. I've seen many sites on Yola return a "Not Published" error because someone else had took over the associated accounts and reset the site to use it for some other activity, sometimes never even going to publish it. Old sites hosted on webs.com are now "Frozen" because they were likely used for a scam or to distribute malware, ran by folks that took over the old owner's accounts when they left. Some sites on weebly now are used to display the host's default template layouts such as "Brooke Anderson" and "Nectur" as far as I've seen.

Also there appears to be a problem with the downloads at Trainz Commuter Rail.
