The New Look
An example of the newest paint scheme to grace CSX's locomotives: The Boxcar Bracket logo, which is an otherwise unchanged Dark Future scheme that has thus far only been applied to newly-built GE ES44AH diesels. I think I like it, but I would definitely like to see it on other power, especially the 20 EMD SD70ACes running around the system! This locomotive, along with a dirty AC4400CW, were waiting with a large rock train that had yet to be assembled. The photo was taken at the Orlando Amtrak station, which was once used by the Seaboard Coast Line. The large shadow over the station track in the foreground is cast by part of the platform structure.

I know I'm probably in the minority among railfans here, but the YN3 brackets scheme is so far my favorite. Maybe because it's new and every unit that wears it still looks fresh and clean, maybe because graphically, it's uncluttered and effective, and maybe because I didn't grow up with CSX. But anyway, I like it :P
I like it and I'm not really much of a CSX fan.
I like their TV coimmercials such as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oS2_qxWJQkg
I see this one often and think nearly every time 'why don't I see any similar BNSF ads'? No UP ads. Maybe I don't watch the right shows.
So many people seems to 'still' have the 1970's burned into their brains about railroads going out of business.

Very nice, very nice indeed. I have a switchyard right near me (hopes I used the right terminology as I'm not a railfur myself lol) and a track about 100 yards from my house so I see loads of trains. But also, random question. How often do u or other railfurs get stopped by people asking why they're taking pictures of the trains and stuff XD
Switchyard or railyard, or just simply 'yard' works x3
How often you get stopped depends highly on where you are, what you're doing, and what you look like. If you are near a major yard, you'll get questioned a lot more often than you will if you're just out on the mainline. The same goes for local yards and passenger stations. Wearing a camera also seems to be a magnet for police these days, so I tend to keep mine in my bag until I need it. Also, the closer you are physically to the rails, the more likely you will be interrogated. (Most railroads' property line extends to 15 feet on either side of the tracks in rural areas, and in urban and highly populated places, varies between three feet and the edge of the ballast [stones on either side of the tracks].)
You can never really tell how you will be treated, unless you happen to know the officer(s), either personally or from past encounters. Most police have no idea what railfanning is, and so are usually suspicious. I have been accused of terrorist activity a couple times; it happens. x3 The best thing to remember is that as long as you obey the laws, they cannot legally do anything to you. Oh, and they cannot, under any circumstance, ask to see your photos and videos, unless you are actually shooting on government property.
Hope this helps! ^^

Sounds like florida is more strict on photography. Really only reason's I was asked was 1. It was just after 9/11 and 2. The guy thought we were having trouble's and asked what the camera's were for. And I agree, don't break the law, there is nothing they can legally do, but doesn't mean they will lie so if they ask you to move back, move back.
