CSX Seaboard System Finale Locomotive Tour 1989 - Part 3

This video documents CSX Transportation locomotives sighted at various CSXT yards in December of 1989. What makes this video so unique is the vast quantity of Seaboard System Railroad locomotives we were able to catch on our year end system-wide locomotive trip. There are also countless early-stage CSX locomotives on this video that you simply cannot see anyplace else. This is what the railroad looked like at the end of the 1980's. You will see locomotives on location in Mulberry, Orlando, Sanford, Jacksonville and Baldwin, Florida as well as in Waycross, Georgia. We bring you 'classic' CSX featuring plenty of predecessor road paint schemes up to and including the newest C40-8 and SD60 locomotives. If you like watching the early stages of CSX, then this video is for you.

The Glory days indeed,thank you SCL Pete

Nice! Brings back nice memories - that era. I remember back to The Family Lines days. Would still see lots of Seaboard Coast Line engines and some L&N. Seaboard System was a good name. I don't recall seeing Chessie System locomotives in Atlanta back then, until the CSX merger.

All thoae RS5Ts, and most were likely scrapped. now they have the Gay5LA on virtually everything

[@raritania7581]

6663 looks like an EL. Funny because ConRail's 6663 was.

What yard was that in the 80s 6:32

[@northpennvalleysteamrailroad]

Awesome Seaboard Action! Was before CSX was formed or is it still seaboard?

[@haydendraycott7897]

Technically before; CSX was the direct result of the merger between Chessie System (C), and the Seaboard System (S), with X standing for the combining of the two in 1986. However, most railroads that ultimately wound up under the CSX moniker were not legally merged out of existence until a couple years after, hence all the locomotives still in predecessor schemes here.

5764 is the only existing U36B today

[@nicholasmedovich6729]

OUCH too bad most of them were scrapped or sold south of the border

[@GeorgiaStateRailfan]

5764 was also the original SCL 1776 before the Bicentennial unit was built. Unit was renumbered to 1813 upon arrival of the bicentennial unit. Bicentennial 1776 was renumbered to 5728 and was retired and scrapped by 1993. While 5764 was retained but kept in storage at Waycross as a locomotive load test unit before being donated to the Massachusetts Call Volunteer Firefighters' Association and renumbered to 7764. From there it was donated to the lake shore railway museum in North East, Pennsylvania where it sits today.
