CSX 6394 another "vandalised" loco.

It would seem the phantom heritage painter has struck again, Former RF&P GP40-2 142, now CSX 6394 has gained an RF&P painted nose job. Look closely and you see the RF&P logo is a vinly print, so someone is going to a bit of expense.

Is the Chessie one still carrying it's custom job?

 

Whoever is doing it must be doing an awful lot of careful planning, (I suspect some inside help) as it requires a loco from the right fallen flag to be in a suitable location (presumably aware from prying eyes) with all the correct paint and markings to hand in the right conditions and with enough time to apply it, and all supposedly without getting caught by CSX officials or anyone else!

 

Nice work though.

 

Also a good study in GP front ends, debunking the myth that they are all the same....

CSX 4413 also had some unofficial cosmetic work done there , being one of the last surviving YN2 locos, the nose end and cab got a clean and tidy up.

 

I had read that the Chessie one had had the red section on the nose repainted blue by CSX depot staff but that the rest and the cat logo was still in place.
