My late grandpa and my dad lived through the Conrail times and I'm glad csx made it,my late grandpa would've loved to see this heritage unit. Me and my father like this! Nice job csx and thanks for bringing what my late grandpa and my father used to see back to life on csx.
Imagine seeing NS 8098 and this hauling a train, that would be cool. Loving these new CSX Heritage units, but this will probably be the only time this will be shiny and clean.
Absolutely Beautiful Gentlemen. I Remember growing up in Worcester, Mass and watching all the Penn Central locomotives at the end of my street slowly Turning Conrail Blue.
CSX #1976 is here. It's the Conrail Heritage Unit. It's looking mighty shiny as of July 22nd 2023. CSX is doing great with their heritage units and more are coming.
@yousmelllikefart Just be glad that CSX is making heritage units, it's okay if it's not all the way painted. I think it's unique because where it has CSX blue it fades to the past of the old railroad that was bought out or merged.
I never lived in New England, but instead grew up in Colorado. As much as I miss the BN Forest Greens, the D&RGW Coal Blacks, and the ATSF Warbonnets (and the Bluebonnets & Yellow Bonnets), I miss Conrail Blue. Conrail took the best of the failing railroads in New England and the Ohio Valley and put them together into one massive Class 1 railroad. Conrail Blue meant "power and might" to me. Although my particular interest now is in Class II and Class III railroads, a part of my Railfan heart will always be with those fallen Class I majors.
Great job again. Been catching them here on the CE&D sub when they pass by the farm. Caught the B&O in Vincennes at the B&O diamond. Videos on my channel.
That 1827 B&O unit lead the 016 (intermodal) through the New Castle Sub before dawn this morning. Something else that came through here this morning, is literally your name (lol). I went out too late to catch either of those, but I still managed to find a handful of trains
I'm a Train enthusiast and know all about trains! The last Conrail Message was very sad. My Great Grandfather worked at Conrail in 1985. He died 8 years ago (when I first started my channel) I'm now 14 and To this day, Conrail Blue is my favorite color. CSX and Norfolk Southern replaced Conrail. Still to this day, Conrail will no longer be on the rails. (except like 5 other last Conrail AC4400W's and EC44AH's. Including this heritage) Please make a new heritage unit with my great grandfather's name (His name is Eugene)
I knew it! I thought when NS released their heritage unit, CSX would have to use the "Conrail Quality" logo on their own heritage unit, and I was right!
Great job CSX! I really like the idea of the fade and pulling your history behind you! So far I’ve seen the 1982 seaboard system but want to see the rest of them and all the ones that will be released in the near future. Keep up the outstanding work!!
For anyone who say the fade is bad, just shut up about it. yes i feel it could be better, but can yall just deal with it? CSX is trying a new style of heritage units. im tired of people saying “ohh the fade looks bad! csx heritage units are ruined!” just shut up about it
Railfans in the comment sections here upset me it really is disappointing how people are reacting to these in such a horrible way like come on guys you're better then this at least we can actually get heritage units and move away from those god awful sticker units Im happy with what Joe is doing for CSX.
It is what it is, people will always be ungrateful for a lot of stuff and it's very disappointing to see the community get so mad over paint on a locomotive
I’ll bet you he wouldn’t . I know if I were an old school Conrail worker, I would criticize the shit out of it. Norfolk Southern did it right. Unfortunately, they only did 1 of each scheme
At last, the other half of ConRail has been unveiled. The first half is already brought out by Norfolk Southern at last the second half to the split of this Railroad has been unveiled as a tribute.
So if the NS and CSX Conrail heritage units were to run together, the only way it would look good is if 8089 was leading and 1976 was trailing with its nose in a tunnel! It's like I ask for a full paintjob if a red Chevy and they paint all but the front bumper and hood in red then the other pieces in Ford Blue with a Ford logo on the grill!
As a kid living in Cleveland, Ohio during the early 1980s, that big blue Conrail engine is my first memory of trains. I'd frequently see Conrail engines moving through my grandmother's neighborhood. I love that CSX is honoring this company. What a paint scheme!!!
I honestly don't like the new HU's because the fades just don't fit right. 1827 is pretty alright, but not a huge fan of the fades. But at the same time I guess its a bit creative.
My favorite railroad growing up. Detroit Metro to Elkhart. My childhood was filled with Conrail Blue. Pere Marquette heritage Loco please please pretty please!!!!
All these units have been so. Beautiful and I can't to see them running and I wonder if they'll do one for each railroad that eventually became csx or only the last big four railroads that made them? BTW I thought northfork southern bought out conrail. The more you know, I suppose, lol
I kind of like the way CSX is doing their heritage paint schemes, although with the Chessie System one I feel like either the colors are a bit "off" or the size of the orange stripe is too wide. Something doesn't feel right about that one. The Contrail blue looks very nice, though!
CSX's heritage paint schemes are very good to see. So glad they are out on the road to be seen.
My late grandpa and my dad lived through the Conrail times and I'm glad csx made it,my late grandpa would've loved to see this heritage unit. Me and my father like this! Nice job csx and thanks for bringing what my late grandpa and my father used to see back to life on csx.

You guys done an amazing job on all the H units so far. This one is the best. Well done CSX, well done
The way they place CSX on the cowl, and the heritage after the cab is a brilliant way to blend them.
My dad started out with Conrail in 1972. Worked 43 years there. I remember the company picnics they used to have
Conrail didn't start operations until 1976
@SlapthePissouttayew and? It was Grand Trunk when he hired on I believe
@@lynaesomers-witaifi Grand Trunk Western was not merged into Conrail. It was a subsidiary of CN and was fully merged into CN in 1991

Good Job Guys on making this LOCOMOTIVE. I grew up Seeing CONRAIL LOCOMOTIVES Sometimes.
Fantastic job, I can’t wait to see the New York Central locomotive, as my great grandfather used to work on that great railroad.
Lemme guess, the black freight livery?
amazing unit!

Very nice! Which ones next I wonder! Personally I can't wait to see my home road of ACL!
I would love to see an ACL and an SAL/SCL unit in Florida! Would go together nice with FEC's retro color scheme.
And I hope its the Champion purple and silver!
Woah that is an awesome paint job!
Should do Boston and Maine 2 generations of my family worked for them
I swear, I don't know why but I love conrail and this heritage unit
CSX did it right with the Conrail Quality logo. Norfolk Southern did the classic Conrail Can opener and it didn’t work. Not on a GE widecab.
This unit is incredible.

So beautiful! Too bad BNSF is too stuck in Halloween colors to do this.
I wish there was a RS3L on 1976 so it can really be like the big blue.
Looks great good job CSXT
Oh come on y’all put the K5HL on a heritage unit backwards? Come on it’s a heritage unit
Just saw this tonight in Cuyahoga Falls, OH! Got it on Dashcam, very cool.
the first heritage unit of conrail was produced by NS in 2012, which was 11 years ago.
Bruh
CSX Can You Make me a locomotive 1 small problem I have 0 dollars d read dis Message from Irvine Pacific
Western Maryland!
TOO CRAPPY! I can repaint the cab area whether you guys like it or not!
Interesting concept on the paint scheme. The half fade. Quite original.
Esta bonito el tren
Perfect Paint Scheme ,Just be sure to finish the Job and get that unsightly CSX Color off that cab and nose.
I hope I will see this when am on the fairburnd year
@CSXOfficial very nice 🦺
Honestly I think CSX Nailed the heritage units the best out of all Class 1's
finally significant noticable heritage units
That conrail blue is fantastic so happy to see it back
Love the seaboard plenty of signs of their existence around me but it’s so cool to see a unit on the rails
I knew it! I thought when NS released their heritage unit, CSX would have to use the "Conrail Quality" logo on their own heritage unit, and I was right!

My dad worked for Conrail before the merger, finished his 36 year career with CSX. If he was alive today, I think he'd love this engine.
It’s unfortunate CSX took as long as they did to come out with heritage units. Was he alive to see the Norfolk Southern conrail unit?
I’ll bet you he wouldn’t . I know if I were an old school Conrail worker, I would criticize the shit out of it. Norfolk Southern did it right. Unfortunately, they only did 1 of each scheme
@@AppalachianMountaineer1863I know I wouldn’t want him to see it
Ohio Central still has Conrail painted super sevens still in active service
And CSX has been an awesome investment in my 401K!!
I hope a New York Central heritage unit will be on the way
I love conrail
They look awesome, just please quit the fade
Yay!!
Brought back many great memories. Retired RRPD. PC,CR,NS. I used to love that blue. Thank you. 🙂
CSX is the best Railroad....I remember Conrail going to Va in 1998 in NJ next to the Turnpike....Keep it up....Can't wait for the L&N unit!
Absolutely fills my heart with joy to see a company looking into the past to have the way for the future!🙏🥲

Can you just like maybe make the whole engine CR blue
I love this!
Can’t wait to see the Western Maryland scheme!
YEEESSS! Once again I'm going to see some Conrail hauling long freight! Conrail blue is very awesome. YEEESSS!
So far every HU could be a lot better with a simple fix (finish the paint job)
The paint represents "pulling our history behind us" as stated in the 1827 video
As a kid living in Cleveland, Ohio during the early 1980s, that big blue Conrail engine is my first memory of trains. I'd frequently see Conrail engines moving through my grandmother's neighborhood. I love that CSX is honoring this company. What a paint scheme!!!
Finally
Not to mention there was a CSX U18B also numbered 1976
I honestly don't like the new HU's because the fades just don't fit right. 1827 is pretty alright, but not a huge fan of the fades. But at the same time I guess its a bit creative.
Very nicely done ❤
Can't wait for the YN1 and YN2 heritage units
😂👍
Better than the Chessie System one. The Seaboard System and Conrail units are the best in my oppinion.
someone doesn't like colorful things. simple the better? it stands out more and gets more looks.
Cool to make a heritage unit
I love this heritage unit.
Great and fantastic loco !👍😎❤️
My favorite railroad growing up. Detroit Metro to Elkhart. My childhood was filled with Conrail Blue.
Pere Marquette heritage Loco please please pretty please!!!!
**Grabs Popcorn and prepares for the angry foamers**
Hey can you get me some too?

BTW I thought northfork southern bought out conrail. The more you know, I suppose, lol
Conrail was split to CSX and NS so both railroads can make their own Conrail heritage unit
Amazing!!!
This is the best one so far. Excellent work CSX!
Great job
Very Nice!
Interesting how there’s no video for 1982
There is on their instagram
When ever y’all do western Maryland can y’all do the fire ball scheme
that made it out before we see it on the rails.
Lets Go!! The Conrail Is Finally Here!! Really Special CSX!! Also what’s your next heritage unit?
It could be 1869
C&O?
I heard the L&N one would be next, to be 1850.
Hey it actually looks good!
I hope BNSF or UP will have the privilege to operate that locomotive to California.
IMO, someone will stop that loco in Nevada because it pollutes too much........
Looks great
If it would only run through Harpers Ferry
Love it❤
I kind of like the way CSX is doing their heritage paint schemes, although with the Chessie System one I feel like either the colors are a bit "off" or the size of the orange stripe is too wide. Something doesn't feel right about that one. The Contrail blue looks very nice, though!
The main complaint about the Chessie System unit is that the lettering's too small and that orange stripe's too wide.
@@kristoffermangila Still nice to see it.
@@FreihEitner true that.

Yeah , I can picture it ; NS done proper , CSX done 80 % finished !! Are you folks blind , these units need to have the nose painted !!!!
@@johnuhelski8613 You got that right.
I like it.
Please please give them a full Conrail livery it would make 1976 look 100% better
to you. i like these more.
🥱
@@GeorgiaStateRailfan Then go away if your tired of us complaining The drama won't stop until CSX decides to paint the whole units

When are we going to get to see the C&O, B&O and WM Heritage Units??
be patient theyll finish them on their own time
and the b&o heritagr had bern out for months now
They already made Baltimore and Ohio Csx 1827
B&O heritage has been out since may
@yousmelllikefart 1973 is chessie
Wish the fade was in the style of yn2
make a Western Maryland next
