As has been said many times before. Alot of people think that CSX’s new paint scheme looks alot like the old B&O’s late 60s paint scheme. So with that in mind, maybe we can get CSX to put some old B&O decals on some GP30s and 35s or something and we can do the greatest movie never made.

Close, but not 100% correct - it was the C&O that painted solid yellow noses on their GP30/35’s and SD35/40’s in the early-to-mid Sixties. Even though they had recently taken over the B&O, they never applied any Capitol-dome emblems over a yellow background.
By the time B&O and C&O schemes were identical, locos were 100% “enchantment” blue (including the ends) with yellow stripes, lettering and logos.
I agree with you though, I’d love to see CSX introduce a few ‘heritage’ schemes like a few of their western counterparts have been doing![:P]
