Earlier today on Facebook, there was a graphics sheet with a new csx livery. It had paint codes, fonts, marketing jargon etc. While I don’t have a link, I have a screen shot (can’t post due to forum rules), and was wondering if anyone else knew anything. The engine I saw was very similar to the bright future, but with more stripes, and white csx lettering on the side.

When I was on Facebook, that is the exact scheme I saw (only it was on a sd70mac without flared radiators). It looked like a screenshot of a marketing sheet, including color codes, and marketing jargon for the new desi. If real, this is much better than their current livery.
CSX is also doing some heritage paint schemes, with a "fade" from the standard CSX nose livery to the heritage livery. Not sure I care for the fade treatment. Permission from CSX to use photo.

Fade isn't horrible, but a full paint job would be better.
I don't care for the fade. It would be nice if they'd just carry the dark blue, yellow and grey all the way forward.

It was in one of the groups. Either csx past and present or Maryland area railroad modelers.
It was a What if photoshopped pic by a railfan. everybody keeps leaving off the explanation that was with it getting the rumor mill going
FWIW,
I googled "csx heritage paint schemes" and came up with some pics.

What I saw looked like a marketing pdf, not a photoshop, even though the photoshop I saw was identical to the marketing material. It is a slightly more modern take on the grey bright future scheme. If they make the change, I’d like it.

I hope that CSX honors all of its heritage lines. For example a fade to the Springfield Terminal orange, black, and white scheme shown here: http://photos.greatrails.net/s...1902191216492877.jpg
And, if not the Boston and Lowell Railroad and the Stony Brook Railroad, at the least the B&M "Minuteman."
Personally, I'm not loving the fade and I think this is better:
