Nostalgia & History > Pick a Paint SchemeDate: 02/08/16 08:49 Pick a Paint Scheme Author: refarkas Early CSX often had a rainbow of paint schemes as locomotives with various paint schemes from different railroads were lashed up for any given train. Here is eastbound C&O 4071 at the head of a five-unit lashup heading through Akron, Ohio on 03/14/1987. This was "heritage" before the word became common.
