Today we were fortunate on the Henderson Subdivision to have the new CSX Heritage series the Seaboard System locomotive unit 1982, lead on CSX I025 after going north on I026 on 4th of July. Today I caught it as it made its way across the Ohio River Bridge between Rahm, Indiana into Henderson, Ky, on July 6th, 2023. According to Wikipedia: The Seaboard System Railroad, Inc. (reporting mark SBD) was a US Class I railroad that operated from 1982 to 1986. Since the late 1960s, Seaboard Coast Line Industries had operated the Seaboard Coast Line and its sister railroads—notably the Louisville & Nashville and Clinchfield—as the "Family Lines System". In 1980, SCLI merged with the Chessie System to create the holding company CSX Corporation; two years later, CSX merged the Family Lines railroads to create the Seaboard System Railroad. In 1986, Seaboard renamed itself CSX Transportation, which absorbed the Chessie System's two major railroads the following year.

Well, today I caught my first one of the new CSX Heritage series locomotives, the Seaboard System unit, as it made its way across the Gum Lick Trestle, between Kelly and Crofton, Kentucky. It was leading CSX I026 northbound on the Henderson Subdivision on July 4th, 2023. I like how CSX is painting these units showing the new transitioning into the old.
