This was posted over on the Susquehanna forum..I thought it deserved its own thread here!
Right now its just a rumour..but if UP did it, why not CSX?
(im sure CSX is also interested in keeping the trademarks of its predecessor roads "active"..so they can make money from their use like UP does..)
here is the post copied over from the NYSW forum:
I wonder what CSX would paint?
the obvious roads include:
B&O
C&O
W&M
Chessie
Seaboard
L&N
ACL
Conrail
but who can really lay claim to the railroads that went into Conrail??
PC
PRR
NYC
LV
EL
RDG
NH
CNJ
LNE
L&HR
Since NS and CSX split Conrail more or less equally, I doubt that CSX would consider those roads as part of their "direct" heritage..
and could they anyway? legally? I dont know..
because NS also operates over many of those railroads original routes, it seems to me that NS and CSX would have to somehow "share" ownership of the Conrail trademark, and the railroads that formed Conrail..
while B&O, C&O, L&N, etc are "pure CSX"..if you get my drift..
I would bet that CSX would probably paint a Chessie system, L&N and Conrail unit to start with..IMO those roads represent the main body of modern CSX..
very interesting!
