CSX New York Central Heritage Unit Leading A Freight Train In South MS.

In January of 2024, a CSX locomotive commemorating the New York Central Railroad became the eighth unit in CSX’s heritage locomotive fleet.
Designated CSX 1853 in recognition of the year the NYC was founded, the heritage unit was repainted in a special design, combining the current CSX colors with the traditional gray and white of the NYC system. The NYC heritage unit has been placed into regular revenue service, proudly carrying the NYC colors across the CSX network.
All of the heritage unit paint schemes have been created at the CSX Waycross Locomotive Shop, where employees performed the challenging work of applying the unique designs.
At its height, the New York Central system encompassed more than 11,000 track miles and provided vital transportation service between New England and the Midwest. It merged with the Pennsylvania Railroad to become the Penn Central in 1968 and later became part of Conrail.
A majority of former NYC lines were acquired by CSX in 1998, and today, CSX employees continue to operate trains across the primary NYC routes that have been carrying freight and supporting the U.S. economy for more than a century.
