Unofficial Heritage on the CSX Cartersville Branchline

As many railfans across the country know by now, CSX's Cartersville Subdivision has hosted several unique locomotives over the last few months. This video contains the unofficial Chessie heritage unit, CSXT #6914, shot during an event back in August 2023. Engineer Jackson put on a great show for us railfans on this date, so our thanks go out to him for one heck of a chase! The unit remains in this unique paint scheme as of this video's posting, despite the thought that CSX would send it in for repainting immediately. Additionally, you will find a brief showing of CSXT #4419, one of only a couple YN2 painted GP series locomotives remaining in active duty. The chase of this unit did not go as planned, so only a couple shots were managed. Like 6914, 4419 is still in YN2 paint as of this video's posting.

Why not just keep it like that? No material impact on safety or operations.

Worried about the loss of corporate image I would have to assume. It's also somewhat of a dig at their actual heritage units where the cab is still CSX. Originally, each unit was supposed to be painted in full heritage scheme, but upper management made a last minute change to the original artists' design...
