CSX ‘Chessie System’ heritage emblem locomotive catches fire in Pittsburgh

Wouldn’t have been a fire had it been actually painted as a Chessie unit. I wonder if the decal started the fire. :wink:

GOOOD THATA NOT EVEN A HERITAGE UNIT THAT SHOULD TEACH CSX A LESSON THAT HERITAGE IS NOT SOME STICKER MARK 100% GOES TO THE FIRE HAHA

Putting on a sticker does not equate maintenence. Putting some of these units into the shop now and again and actually fixing them seems to prevent a lot of these problems…then again that costs money.
And ever notice a lot of GE’s have paint damage due to high heat or fires at the engine location along the long hood?

How about “a train composed of…” and not compromised! Apparently there is no proof reading only spell checking.

“A train that comprised two locomotives…” meets the requirement, considering the older meaning of the word “comprise.”

And I didn’t even get a picture of it. Oh well.

Were the $10 heritage decals damaged?
