Best CSX paint scheme | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

What do you guys think the best CSX paint scheme has been? I like the bright future scheme (what I grew up looking at), followed by the current boxcar style blue. The ac6000 yellow writing variant of bright future is possibly the best, but only was on a few units. I also kinda like the fire truck design. I would love to see something new (heritage) or a return to chessie colors with the csx logo.

I liked the blue/gray scheme the best. The 1st photo was taken in St. Mary's GA when I had to visit the sub base in Kings Bay GA in the late 80s, the 2nd in Petersburg VA 1990, and the 3rd either in Petersburg or Portsmouth but I'm thinking Petersburg even though the caption I put on it says Portsmouth 1988:

I moved this topic to the proper forum since this is not a 3-rail scale topic. "Csxcellent", please become familiar with our categories/forums. Thanks!

I prefer the YN2 "Bright Future" blue/gray/yellow "hockey stick" scheme.

YN2.

The new "dark future" scheme is corporate garbage.
