It was patched today I am told.

Trains magazine article on it certainly hasted its demise.

Can’t remember that Steve. I do know we touched up the “Trains All American” logo one time at Windsor South when it was sitting outside the depot. I have to give credit to whomever did this as it’s certainly better than anything that CSX is willing to do.

It certainly can be classified as such. But when was the last time someone did something like this?

I know I read articles about something similar in RAILROAD magazine – sometime in the 1970′s…… or 1980′s.. but I think it was for an excursion and railfans touched up paint of a US road’s scheme in advance of a trip to make it look better

Anyone recall the article?

I guess thats just called graffiti. I doesn’t look like a shop force did the C & O

I’m betting it’s changed at first opportunity once it gets near the home shop. I wouldn’t take any chances anyway, if one wants to photograph this ‘event’ !

Wonder how long it’ll stay like this? Seems to certainly be making the rounds.
