CSX Heritage: Locomotive 1836 Honoring the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad

Another locomotive is joining the CSX heritage lineup! Our tenth design commemorates the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad, chartered in 1836. The RF&P merged with Washington Southern in 1920 to form the Richmond-Washington Company which later became part of Conrail, and ultimately CSX. CSX 1836 will carry the RF&P colors across our network, reinforcing our #ONECSX team’s pride in the almost 200-year history of our railroad.

Beautiful locomotive CSX, Keep it up👍

[@BSH_Railfan]

Great Work CSX, the RF&P looks amazing

[@Crookedriverandeasternrr]

Another beautiful unit.

[@ThatA-LineRailfanProductions]

Agreed.

[@Blaze06]

Probably one of the best ones released so far! I like the RF&P color choice(s) for this unit a lot!

[@orbitsrailfanvids]

Tbf it was RF&P's only scheme

[@thenewstuffsucks5000]

@@orbitsrailfanvids Not really. They had at least 3 paint schemes I can think of.

[@BoeingCSX.1]

Nice job csx

[@WesternMDRailfan]

All of the heritage units are beautiful, especially this one. Anyone who doesn’t like the CSX heritage units needs to understand that we went years without having heritage units at all, and should be glad we have them now

[@S.P.foamer]

I Dont like them but I do agree with the point ur trying to make btw chargers are THE WORST passenger locomotives created since the EMD F59PHI

[@MystiCmeshtool]

I still don't like them.

[@MystiCmeshtool]

[@S.P.foamer]

Looks beautiful! Can’t wait to see the next one!

Nice. I would also agree that this is CSX's best one so far as well

[@EuropeanRailfanAlt]

One of the better heritage units, alongside 1897, 1869 and 1827. 1827 has to be the best tho

[@SamanthaWebsterPitts28]

RF&P is back

[@SimonJimmydog123]

That’s what I call a good heritage unit right there,looks amazing,CSX

[@BCLRailfnner_4109]

These units look amazing and yet some people are just foamers and complain about the unit being fully painted. I think it’s more of a creative design to keep the front of the CSX and the rest the heritage unit wonder what’s next

[@kodarailfaner3415]

new CSX heritage unit epikkkkkkkkkkk

[@corduerorose9747]

All right I've been waiting for that 😃😁👍 0:02

CSX can the 11th heritage unit be Western Maryland and can it be in the black and gold or black red and white?

[@jeffalexander1883]

Another amazing job CSX!

[@lucalanciotti2556]

What a beautiful unit it’s the best on of the whole fleet in my opinion

[@MikeG42]

CSX , Are you guys going to have a PH&D Heritage unit ?

[@davidng2336]

Was only a matter of time until this came out due to the vandal unit. Good job btw.

[@SkylineRailfan]

Love the new unit! Keep up the good work CSX!

[@Railroader85]

Excellent

[@MailmanRailfan]

I really thought it should be the 1834 ? But hey who am I?

[@stopmotioncreations3837]

Before this video I didn’t even know that RF&P even existed

[@confusedshovel1232]

Another excellent heritage unit, props to the Waycross guys for getting this unit done

[@TrainTrackTrav]

I've been really looking forward to this one and came out great! I can't wait to see the rest of the heritage units that roll out.

[@22NCRAILFAN23]

Nice video!!

[@zacharyorange7147]

Csx can you do an seaboard coast line 0:01 heritage unit

[@toddw6716]

Great if you painted the whole engine in the heritage colors. But leaving the front with CSX is so cheesy

[@jackmcgill3150]

Wow! It's beautiful! Csx,,,Take good care of that one.

[@LakeCountyRails2022]

Hands down one of the best heritage units ever!

[@kenvandevoort7820]

Wow! I got to see new RF&P geeps at the EMD 50th Anniversary Open House in 1972. The old E units were there as tradeins.

[@TheLocomotiveEngineer]

Looking forward to seeing this crossing the Rappahannock on the RF&P viaduct in Fredericksburg one day...

[@shawnpowell5876]

Another awesome job by the paint shop in Waycross! You guys knock it out of the park bringing these HERITAGE UNIT to life! KABOOM Cheers from Laurel, Delaware USA.

[@MikeG42]

This one looks pretty good. RF&P always had great looking locomotive's and 50ft boxcars.

[@TranscontinentalRailfan]

I live near the RF&P Subdivision! Can’t wait to see this unit in person!

[@kurtadkins7051]

hey csx I want you to know I your number one fan of the railroad I live near Pensacola yard on the other side in gulf breeze fr..and some good trains in atmore Alabama...plus I use to live in west Virginia near chelyan west Virginia near the Charleston and huntington main line of csx ..number one fan !!!

I mean I love the rf&p but please Paint the whole thing

[@PArailkid]

I love your heritage locomotives but can you please make EMD heritage units.

[@clearcrossroads5267]

Thank you CSX! I can't wait to catch this one clearing the Crossroads signal on the RF&P

[@NarodowyPolski1864]

This Heritage Unit i think is the third best one of the CSX's Current Heritage Units. Only Behind The Monon 1897 and the Conrail 1976. Because Conrail Is My Favorite Fallen Flag Railroad Of Teh East Coast. They saved the Northeastern U.S Freight Operations. We only have The Seaboard Coast Line 1967,Penn Central 1968,Pere Marquette 1900 & Many Many More that i can't list and just search CSX predecessor Railroads On Wikipedia If You Want.
