CSX Heritage: Locomotive 1852 Honoring the Western Maryland Railway
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 апр 2024
- CSX’s newest heritage locomotive commemorates the proud history of the Western Maryland Railway, which formed in 1852! The Western Maryland was a small but mighty railroad that hauled coal and freight in Maryland, West Virginia and Pennsylvania before merging with the B&O and C&O to eventually become part of CSX as we know it today. Our fleet of heritage locomotives, including the CSX 1852, continue to help reinforce our #ONECSX team's pride in the history of CSX.
Even though people hate the heritage units, I definitely have some favorites and not some favorites, but 1852 is definitely a favorite.
No way I found ya here

Haven’t heard of a person not liking them. All the spotters are always looking for them.
@@Aaron-kx7oi it's because it's something different than just a regular Gevo, so they go out to spot it even though they don't like them. I did the same thing when the Monon and New York Central were paired up, I didn't like NYC and wasn't a fan of Monon, but they were different so I went for them.
@@Aaron-kx7oi I've seen plenty of people on discord hating the heritage units but when it comes to railfanning, you can't really miss the chance to capture a unique locomotive
Bravo CSX! I grew up visiting my grandparents in Western MD. Saw these trains all the time during my visits. Also, as a shareholder, I appreciate the fact that CSX has chosen to recognize its past. Great Job. 👍
I remember the black with the yellow lettering with the speedball emblem. Those were the proud days for the WM, with all those fast-moving coal trains. Lots of RS 3's on the Thomas Sub. Thanks for the memories.
Anyone noticing the WMSR fireball?
I did, but I think WMSR helped with this scheme.
Hello Thunderbolt
Can’t lie they still did awesome with this one!
I always get so frustrated because they paint the cab in modern livery. Sometimes the best artwork is on the nose and cab. Is it just an ego thing?
@@sakeeler agreed
Great job CSX, Keep it up, it’s great that they’re paying attention to the smaller railroads that make up the system
Looks great, honors the “Wild Mary” a unique component of CSX
Honestly it would have been a really nice touch to put the Fireball on the front of the nose as it would've stood out there but not intruded too much on the overall design but this is still a very sharp looking heritage unit, good going CSX!
I wasn’t a huge fan at first, but it’s growing on me. I’m glad to see the smaller lines get attention. Gives me hope to see units for the smaller lines that came together for FLS/SBD
Thank you CSX for this and the other heritage units!❤
holy hell they did an amazing job with this heritage locomotive
I think that one is the best so far! Good job CSX!
despite what some people have on this unit, I still quite like it. Something to take note of however is usage of the wrong fireball logo as thats of the WMSR instead of the actual Western Maryland Railway as the original is "Fast Freight Line".
This is sooooo BEAUTIFUL
I think what you’re doing is spot on!!!!
You are honoring your heritage and you are reminding people that you are now proudly CSXT!!!!!!🎉🎉
spot on… meanwhile this one has a tourist railroads logo…..
@@mratsfrailfan1894 so what?
It’s beautiful
Have a problem?
Go buy your own paint & brushes and show the entire world you can do better
@@MillersRailfan”it’s beautiful” bro it’s a non half-assed, if you are just gonna halfass a job might aswell not do it at all
No it's not, none of them are beautiful. They look like as if Dollar tree took a look at the photoshopped images of CSX heritage units on Google. Took inspiration and came out with their own with low budget along with less then a half of bucket of paint.
@@threepea1151 so dude; grab your paint buckets and brushes and YOU paint a locomotive that’s even one percent as good
Looking great! Keep up the awesome work!
Great video CSX of the Western Maryland Heritage Unit! Every time you guys complete one of that looks PHENOMENAL the Waycross Paint Shop unveils another! You guys knocked it out of the park yet again! Cheers from Laurel, Delaware USA.
Great Job! It Looks Awesome!
Beautiful. Outstanding!!👍
Awesome job CSX my 3rd favorite heritage unit behind 1973 and 1976.
Love these heritage units. Great job CSX
You guys do great work….. love the heritage units!!!!
About time you gave credit to an important pioneering railroad that CSX rose from. WM was one of the best examples of Appalachian Mountains railroad engineering.
Can’t wait to try and catch it on the lines. Bravo!
My family had 2 generations at the WM and my dad hired with Chessie. Very excited to see this happen!
Thank you for choosing this scheme over the black scheme. Really like it!
Congratulations csx and men and women of this company I love this paint scheme I love all paint scheme units thanks csx for all work goes into these units
This will be my favorite until the Clinchfield comes out! 10/10, CSX!
I caught a picture of that beauty rolling through town today!
I’m not a hater on these heritage units it reminds me of csx and whatever the railroad is on the unit
Very nice CSX. Looks great!
Another great job!
Ok yeah. That one’s pretty sweet. Nice job guys
Looks great!!
Oh this is awesome
Glad to see the WM being represented finally! Their red and white color scheme is a favorite of mine and this unit this completes the main Chessie System family of railroads! Keep it up guys! Looking forward to more Heritage Unit projects soon!
This is awesome!
Beautiful Work Gentlemen.
I think CSX would be the only railroad on top of the tier list..CSX is ontop. I just love the new paint schemes, people might hate it but at least csx is doing something good, unlike the other railroads no hating but, I've lived by the CSX tracks my whole 15 years, and its been good catching all these new paints coming out.. everytime an engine would get repainted, it'll always come on to M692-3 or m653. some of those symbols, I like to post them on Heritage Units app and track them down to catch them. Great job CSX! Keep up the good work!
Woah, that’s quite an interesting paint job. Approved.
Very nice! Congrats.
Looks good!
Yay, the Wild Mary!
Love it!
Awesome looks great .😊😊👍👍
Awesome engine! Can’t wait to see it hauling freight
This is awesome
Nice paint job
it's hilarious how they used the WMSR fireball instead of the WM fireball
I live in Western Maryland and this is quite a treat! 😊
👍WM/ CSX👍, hello from the Eastern Shore. 👋😎🛤🚂🚄
I thought they were done, this is beautiful
It’s interesting that they show a picture of the WM F7 with steam on Helmstetters curve in Cash Valley Md on the connelsville sub-division. With they had done some of the black roof down the sides the width of the radiator hood. The black would have set it off even more. All of the Csx heritage units will be challenging to get to see them all!
Thank you for the information, you guys are the best, @CSXOifficial, I like that heritage unit.
Man i love the western texas railroad
Wild Mary rolls down the rails once again 👍
My grandpappy worked for the Western Maryland back in the days of steam in the Connellsville area.
Definitely one of the better ones in my opinion
I love them all but i think you got the New York Central unit's font wrong.
Okay. This is the best heritage unit so far. Keep up the good work And hey you're better than norfolk southern
Now that’s what I’m talking about 👍👍🥳🥳👏👏👏👏
So I need to see a video of all the newly painted heritage units together CSX!! Definitely wanna know how many are there together and it would be great to show how far back the history goes from former big/small railroads that helped build/shape the United States as time went on to forming CSX today
I was fortunate to catch it at Point of Rocks a couple of wks ago, it deserves to be put back on the Cumberland sub instead of out west,
Cool
The new gevo looks dope
I like this one I lot got to be #3 or 4 on my list
Way to go, CSX!
we evolving the WM with this one 🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥
This train was caught yesterday in the waycross csx yard.
It looks beautiful! There are some people saying it looks like the Texas flag. What do you guys think about that?
oh god i see it lol
Fiinally! It's here😊
i like it
How many heritage units are you up to now by the way?
I prepared myself to not get speed lettering on day one, but honestly, I like this a lot. I even like the fireball on top of the circus colors. I think it actually looks pretty good. But was it a colab with the scenic? I'm just wondering why it says "the scenic line" instead of "fast freight line"
@CSX for the last 4 weeks I had a feeling that the WM unit was gonna be out next....how did I guess right?😮
I wish they did some heritage units with dash 8s!
BAVO CSX I LIKE IT CSX KEEP GOING ON
BACON CSX I LIKE IT CSX KEEP GOING ON
люблю CSX!!!
I see CSX all the time at national turnpike they go fast or slow (Fun Fact) The railroad crossing gate is equipped with a train detection system that senses the presence of a train.
I was excited for this one the most.
(I thought it looked like the Texas flag as well.)
Hey guys, I love your heritage units, but you used the wrong logo for 1852. The actual WM logo should say "Fast Freight Line". What you used was the WMSR logo that says "The Scenic Route". Aside from that, looks great.
I think that was intentional.
Glad you pointed that out. Fast Freight Line indeed
@@milepost465historyhobbies4 I didn't even know about the incorrect logo until someone on discord pointed it out.
@@NW2174Fan I had a CSX employee point it out to me
I love this engine but just one thing I wish they did is make a little bit more black on the top
this will never run on my home line while im out railfanning
What's the particular reason you guys chose to use the logo of the Western Maryland Scenic Railway instead of the actual Western Maryland Railway?
Let's make CSX get 100K subs
Western Maryland still has its own railroad these days too with some steam engines and a diesel
Why did you guys use the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad fireball? I just noticed that, was it intentional or?
What is this class of diesel electric locomotive?
Yall going to include the black fireball skin?
Also why not paint the whole locomotive?
Cause yall have some nice units that would look good all the way round.
great job CSX! whats the next unit? penssalvania?
The Pere Marquette Unit is Next
I Have CSX In My Backyard!!!
When are you going to Horner the pennsylvania railroad csx
I think CSX 1899 (Pere Marquette) will be next. Then 1967 (SCL) and 1875 (P&LE)
Can y’all please put a FORWARD K5HL on this thing?
CSX has moved to Texas!!!
*The Paint skin looks like the Texan Flag (kinda)*
Wait the logo is wrong it’s supposed to be the fast freight line
When will we see Clinchfield?
When are we going to see a Maine Central heritage unit?
They may not do one. I did see Boston and Maine and Pan am on a list of planned units but I'm almost positive that list is fake. But I'm hoping they do Boston and Maine , Maine Central, Gilford, and Pan am. It would make sense because CSX bought out Pan AM. And pan am wouldn't have existed without the other three.
Wait pere Marquette is next?
It would be neat if CSX would allow this loco to make one trip from Cumberland to Frostburg.
