CSX Heritage: Locomotive 1976 Honoring Conrail
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 июл 2023
- It’s here! CSX’s fourth in a series of heritage locomotive designs commemorates the Consolidated Rail Corporation, or Conrail, and bears the number 1976, the year the railroad was founded. The design from CSX’s locomotive shop team in Waycross, Georgia recreates the iconic “Conrail Quality” logo and features Conrail blue. #ONECSX
My dad worked for Conrail before the merger, finished his 36 year career with CSX. If he was alive today, I think he'd love this engine.
We need this and NS 8098 in a lashup IMMEDIATELY!!!
No thanks
@@gamerfan8445It’s going to be great!
@@alexwebb3104 unless 8098 leads then it won’t
@@gamerfan8445 Exactly.
@@episode172 definitely
CSX's heritage paint schemes are very good to see. So glad they are out on the road to be seen.
My late grandpa and my dad lived through the Conrail times and I'm glad csx made it,my late grandpa would've loved to see this heritage unit. Me and my father like this! Nice job csx and thanks for bringing what my late grandpa and my father used to see back to life on csx.
And none asked for you to talk.
@@episode172 what do you have against this
Your stupid to know CSX is not gonna do a full paint and this is how it is.
@@episode172Yea and keep complaining see where it gets you
Man is gonna become a Karen
Imagine seeing NS 8098 and this hauling a train, that would be cool. Loving these new CSX Heritage units, but this will probably be the only time this will be shiny and clean.
This is truly awesome I can't wait for the day I see this locomotive hauling freight
It is the dpu on M410 currently
@@SuperDominoRailfans beat me to it!! and its working today 7-22-23!!
As a kid living in Cleveland, Ohio during the early 1980s, that big blue Conrail engine is my first memory of trains. I'd frequently see Conrail engines moving through my grandmother's neighborhood. I love that CSX is honoring this company. What a paint scheme!!!
Great job CSX! I really like the idea of the fade and pulling your history behind you! So far I’ve seen the 1982 seaboard system but want to see the rest of them and all the ones that will be released in the near future. Keep up the outstanding work!!
Lovely Job one again. I am loving the take on CSX is doing with their Heritage Units.
Brought back many great memories. Retired RRPD. PC,CR,NS. I used to love that blue. Thank you. 🙂
Absolutely Beautiful Gentlemen.
I Remember growing up in Worcester, Mass and watching all the Penn Central locomotives at the end of my street slowly Turning Conrail Blue.
This unit is incredible.
My dad started out with Conrail in 1972. Worked 43 years there. I remember the company picnics they used to have
Conrail didn't start operations until 1976
@SlapthePissouttayew and? It was Grand Trunk when he hired on I believe
@@lynaesomers-witaifi Grand Trunk Western was not merged into Conrail. It was a subsidiary of CN and was fully merged into CN in 1991
You guys done an amazing job on all the H units so far. This one is the best. Well done CSX, well done
The way they place CSX on the cowl, and the heritage after the cab is a brilliant way to blend them.
That's beautiful looking, I like all of the new CSX heritage units
@yousmelllikefart Just be glad that CSX is making heritage units, it's okay if it's not all the way painted. I think it's unique because where it has CSX blue it fades to the past of the old railroad that was bought out or merged.
@@jonathanlafferty2271 I mean it's my opinion and so glad CSX is finally making heritage units
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful
I never lived in New England, but instead grew up in Colorado. As much as I miss the BN Forest Greens, the D&RGW Coal Blacks, and the ATSF Warbonnets (and the Bluebonnets & Yellow Bonnets), I miss Conrail Blue. Conrail took the best of the failing railroads in New England and the Ohio Valley and put them together into one massive Class 1 railroad. Conrail Blue meant "power and might" to me.
Although my particular interest now is in Class II and Class III railroads, a part of my Railfan heart will always be with those fallen Class I majors.
amazing unit!
Good Job Guys on making this LOCOMOTIVE. I grew up Seeing CONRAIL LOCOMOTIVES Sometimes.
Very nicely done ❤
Amazing!!!
CSX #1976 is here. It's the Conrail Heritage Unit. It's looking mighty shiny as of July 22nd 2023. CSX is doing great with their heritage units and more are coming.
and its working today 7-22-23!!
**Grabs Popcorn and prepares for the angry foamers**
Hey can you get me some too?
Woah that is an awesome paint job!
CSX is the best Railroad....I remember Conrail going to Va in 1998 in NJ next to the Turnpike....Keep it up....Can't wait for the L&N unit!
Fantastic job, I can’t wait to see the New York Central locomotive, as my great grandfather used to work on that great railroad.
Lemme guess, the black freight livery?
That conrail blue is fantastic so happy to see it back
I love this!
Looks great good job CSXT
So if the NS and CSX Conrail heritage units were to run together, the only way it would look good is if 8089 was leading and 1976 was trailing with its nose in a tunnel! It's like I ask for a full paintjob if a red Chevy and they paint all but the front bumper and hood in red then the other pieces in Ford Blue with a Ford logo on the grill!
Great and fantastic loco !👍😎❤️
I love this heritage unit.
Interesting concept on the paint scheme. The half fade. Quite original.
Just saw this tonight in Cuyahoga Falls, OH! Got it on Dashcam, very cool.
Great job
Great job again. Been catching them here on the CE&D sub when they pass by the farm. Caught the B&O in Vincennes at the B&O diamond. Videos on my channel.
That 1827 B&O unit lead the 016 (intermodal) through the New Castle Sub before dawn this morning. Something else that came through here this morning, is literally your name (lol). I went out too late to catch either of those, but I still managed to find a handful of trains
Very Nice!
Can't wait for the YN1 and YN2 heritage units
😂👍
YEEESSS! Once again I'm going to see some Conrail hauling long freight! Conrail blue is very awesome. YEEESSS!
Love it❤
Awesome
Very nice! Which ones next I wonder! Personally I can't wait to see my home road of ACL!
I would love to see an ACL and an SAL/SCL unit in Florida! Would go together nice with FEC's retro color scheme.
And I hope its the Champion purple and silver!
I'm a Train enthusiast and know all about trains! The last Conrail Message was very sad. My Great Grandfather worked at Conrail in 1985. He died 8 years ago (when I first started my channel) I'm now 14 and To this day, Conrail Blue is my favorite color. CSX and Norfolk Southern replaced Conrail. Still to this day, Conrail will no longer be on the rails. (except like 5 other last Conrail AC4400W's and EC44AH's. Including this heritage) Please make a new heritage unit with my great grandfather's name (His name is Eugene)
finally significant noticable heritage units
Love the seaboard plenty of signs of their existence around me but it’s so cool to see a unit on the rails
Hey it actually looks good!
Better than the Chessie System one. The Seaboard System and Conrail units are the best in my oppinion.
someone doesn't like colorful things. simple the better? it stands out more and gets more looks.
This is the best one so far. Excellent work CSX!
I like it.
My favorite railroad growing up. Detroit Metro to Elkhart. My childhood was filled with Conrail Blue.
Pere Marquette heritage Loco please please pretty please!!!!
Cool to make a heritage unit
the first heritage unit of conrail was produced by NS in 2012, which was 11 years ago.
Should do Boston and Maine 2 generations of my family worked for them
Yay!!
At last, the other half of ConRail has been unveiled. The first half is already brought out by Norfolk Southern at last the second half to the split of this Railroad has been unveiled as a tribute.
I wish there was a RS3L on 1976 so it can really be like the big blue.
I hope a New York Central heritage unit will be on the way
I hope I will see this when am on the fairburnd year
All these units have been so. Beautiful and I can't to see them running and I wonder if they'll do one for each railroad that eventually became csx or only the last big four railroads that made them?
BTW I thought northfork southern bought out conrail. The more you know, I suppose, lol
Conrail was split to CSX and NS so both railroads can make their own Conrail heritage unit
And CSX has been an awesome investment in my 401K!!
I knew it! I thought when NS released their heritage unit, CSX would have to use the "Conrail Quality" logo on their own heritage unit, and I was right!
Not to mention there was a CSX U18B also numbered 1976
Esta bonito el tren
Finally
I love conrail
Whoa
❤❤
Interesting how there’s no video for 1982
There is on their instagram
Please please give them a full Conrail livery it would make 1976 look 100% better
to you. i like these more.
🥱
@@GeorgiaStateRailfan Then go away if your tired of us complaining The drama won't stop until CSX decides to paint the whole units
When ever y’all do western Maryland can y’all do the fire ball scheme
that made it out before we see it on the rails.
Can’t wait to see the Western Maryland scheme!
Lets Go!! The Conrail Is Finally Here!! Really Special CSX!! Also what’s your next heritage unit?
It could be 1869
C&O?
I heard the L&N one would be next, to be 1850.
She's looking mega shiny
Looks great
If it would only run through Harpers Ferry
Is there a list of what heritage units they are doing?
However the one thing why this one was worse was the size of the Conrail Quality logo not just the fade.
When are we going to get to see the C&O, B&O and WM Heritage Units??
be patient theyll finish them on their own time
and the b&o heritagr had bern out for months now
They already made Baltimore and Ohio Csx 1827
B&O heritage has been out since may
@yousmelllikefart 1973 is chessie
I hope BNSF or UP will have the privilege to operate that locomotive to California.
IMO, someone will stop that loco in Nevada because it pollutes too much........
Imagine seeing this and NS 8098 side-by-side.
Yeah , I can picture it ; NS done proper , CSX done 80 % finished !! Are you folks blind , these units need to have the nose painted !!!!
@@johnuhelski8613 You got that right.
PAINT THE DANG NOSE!!!!!!
I kind of like the way CSX is doing their heritage paint schemes, although with the Chessie System one I feel like either the colors are a bit "off" or the size of the orange stripe is too wide. Something doesn't feel right about that one. The Contrail blue looks very nice, though!
The main complaint about the Chessie System unit is that the lettering's too small and that orange stripe's too wide.
@@kristoffermangila Still nice to see it.
@@FreihEitner true that.
Wish the fade was in the style of yn2
When do we get an RF&P unit ?
Western Maryland!
hello CSX, i was wondering what heritage unit you guys will do next?
Apparently the L&N unit
@@chooch1764 ok thanks
I'm ready to see a Seaboard Coast Line and Atlantic Coast Line (purple scheme).....
make a Western Maryland next
Perfect Paint Scheme ,Just be sure to finish the Job and get that unsightly CSX Color off that cab and nose.
Ohio Central still has Conrail painted super sevens still in active service
IS ANYBODY LISTENING ?? I applaud the effort , however WHY , OH WHY do you not finish the job . PAINT THE NOSE !!! Complete the job !!
When's the Monongahela heritage unit going to be painted?? Where is it at in line with the other locomotive repaints?
🍿🍿🍿🍿 Better get that popcorn ready for the inevitable.
and what's that?????
@@rearspeaker6364 The influx of people who think that complaining about a locomotive's paint work will change anything.
@@GeorgiaStateRailfan I like this heritage unit,I'm ok with the heritage units even though some are like kinda inaccurate but idc. though it's getting really annoying and kinda ridiculous on how the community reacts to this. The workers at waycross worked hard to paint these and yet they don't give a sh*t and complain when they wanted heritage units for like a couple years. Like come on,get over it this is what csx is doing to their heritage units,they clearly stated it in the 1827 video
@yousmelllikefart 💀
@yousmelllikefart 💀💀
So far every HU could be a lot better with a simple fix (finish the paint job)
The paint represents "pulling our history behind us" as stated in the 1827 video
So beautiful! Too bad BNSF is too stuck in Halloween colors to do this.
Can you just like maybe make the whole engine CR blue
Foamers! Assemble!
You play Roblox you can’t talk
@@On_Track_With_Chris Take a joke
@@twisted_railroader wdym?
You mean Railfans, don't you? The word "foamer" is considered an insult and derogatory slur by most REAL Railfans.
A "foamer" is someone who must get that perfect shot or video by any means necessary, even if it means getting in a Railfan's way, blocking a Railfan's access, and/or climbing all over and under private railroad property. They respect neither personal space nor private property. They leave a bad taste in the mouths of both Railfans and Railroaders.
A foamer is NOT a true Railfan.
@@erzahler1930 For crying out loud, ITS A JOKE! No I do not mean railfanners, I know what I mean.
Just spend the extra money on paint and paint the cab
or just accept theyre not doing that and not whine abt it
@@thedwaynerailfans*Y E S*
@@thedwaynerailfansok
Wish they would have just painted the whole unit in the correct period. Or paint the front of the unit in the heritage paint. I just don't care for seeing CSX on the front. I know a lot of you csx lovers are going to snarl but, that conrail blue is beautiful, csx against it looks like crap.
I honestly don't like the new HU's because the fades just don't fit right. 1827 is pretty alright, but not a huge fan of the fades. But at the same time I guess its a bit creative.
For anyone who say the fade is bad, just shut up about it. yes i feel it could be better, but can yall just deal with it? CSX is trying a new style of heritage units. im tired of people saying “ohh the fade looks bad! csx heritage units are ruined!” just shut up about it
Man is gonna waste his entire life to get heritage units fully painted💀
@@episode172lmao what
no, do something about it. Bet you won't.
