It was actually renumbered to #1813 I believe to make room for Red White and Blue #1776. Waycross actually repainted it in Family Lines paint for awhile when it was a test unit there. At some point CSX had them paint it in the CSX scheme it is in now. It was nice that CSX saved the unit. I am not sure if there are anymore U36B's left.

CSX has teased us with some special paint jobs recently. They repainted a caboose and presented it to the Kentucky Steam Heritage group in Revenna. They have the resources to put some really nice locomotives out there. It sure would be nice to see some heritage units.
