Yesterday evening I got to see the new CSX B&O Heritage Unit ES44AH #1827 trailing 2nd on CSX eastbound freight M364 in Unionville Ohio.

Very, very cool. Thanks for sharing. Great photos!
Great catch and thanks for posting!
Great shot…thanks for sharing.
Nice shots Tom!
Thank you very much!
Excellent catch. I am going with the unpopular opinion that the fade CSX nose into the heritage scheme is very attractive. I like that it's different than the way any other of the traditional heritage schemes have been applied.

I too like it, I just wish the fade area was a little wider, i.e. more of a blended area between the paint schemes where you can see the heritage scheme under the CSX blue. That, or a crisp line between the two. The semi fade doesn't read well to my eyes.
I like it! hope its heading east to WV!
Looks great, Tom! Thank you for sharing!

1827 was the year the B&O was chartered.
Love it!

Correct. Any of the new CSX Heritages will be numbered the same way but different numbers corresponding to that railroad. Chessie is out now and its 1973.
I still want BNSF to make their own heritage units besides their 25th Anniversary units. They could use some of their SD70ACes, ES44s, ET44C4s or maybe SD70MACs. Lionel did some SD70ACes in BNSF Heritage what-if? liveries a few years ago, and they were pretty cool. The Santa Fe version is one of my favorites.
Attention mth & or Lionel, to quote a meme: TAKE MY MONEY RIGHT NOW!
