Lol, like I don't know about it...The CRHS helped with the artwork!

I agree, it looks fantastic.

If only CSX had reached out...

It's a conspiracy!
I have pretty much everything I need for my railroad, but find myself collecting all these special and heritage schemes. These days, it seems there's a new one introduced at least once a week. Won't be long before BNSF decides to jump into the pool and add another 20-25 to the total, sending me to divorce court and eventual destitution under a highway overpass on the edge of town. 😁

BNSF already did 10 units, think it was 10, they just slapped stickers on the sides.

Funny... I wanted to look up what the 'first' Heritage Unit was, and I ended up on the following article.

Sadly that is probably the best BNSF will do...

Given the history, shouldn't the CSX CR heritage unit have been a Reading paint out?

If we're gonna play that game, it should be a CR patch job on an ex-CNJ unit that was a CNJ patch job on an ex-B&O unit.
