New Modified Boxcar Logo

Was surfing the web and saw images of CSX's new GE ES44AC's numbered 950-953. New engines have a new YN3 paint scheme with CSX's boxcar scheme. Was wondering from anyone in the know, is this going to be the new paint scheme on all new engines, or is CSX going to be repainting it's fleet into this new design.

maybe YN4 paint?

There's a photo online of a two bay center flow with a similar "boxcar" logo. Didn't keep the URL for it (my bad) but it is out there.

If the plan is for this to become the new logo, more photos will show up...

CSX ordered new ES40/44's and some are out, same logo as the boxcar. i'm thinking it is YN4 paint.

I understand what YN3 is. What is this YN4?

[..CSX..] scheme.

The paint is the same, just a different logo. I wouldn't consider that a new sceme. Just YN3 with a different logo applied. A new sceme would include a change of paint and application style.

I love the boxcar logo when not used on a locomotive. As opposed to "C&O Railroad", it's harder to tell what "CSX" does. But when it's pasted on the side of a train, it's pretty clear that CSX is a railroad.

Agreed. I could see using this logo on trailers, shipping containers, letterhead, business cards, signs, etc., but it looks weird on a locomotive. (I feel similarly about RJ Corman, whose locomotives have what appears to be a pair of F-units about to crash into each other at a diamond. Locomotives on a locomotive... it just looks tacky.)

Looks like this is CSX's new image. And not reserved for the new order of the GEVO's. SD70MAC #4719 has come out of the Huntington, WV paint shop wearing the new "Boxcar" Logo (YN4, YN3B, whatever you want to call it).
