CSX has launched another addition to its locomotive fleet \u2013 the Western Maryland heritage locomotive. This new locomotive pays homage to the rich history of railroads in the Western Maryland region and symbolizes CSX\u2019s commitment to preserving and celebrating its railroad heritage.<\/p>\n
The Western Maryland Railroad operated between 1852 and 1983 in Maryland, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. It was a small railroad that primarily transported coal and freight.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 1983 the Western Maryland fully merged with the B&O (Baltimore and Ohio Railroad), which merged with the C&O (Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad) in 1987. They eventually merged with the Seaboard System to form CSX.\u201d explained Tim Music, a CSX carman painter who assisted with the project.<\/p>\n
The CSX Western Maryland heritage locomotive features a striking design inspired by the iconic colors and markings of the historic Western Maryland Railway. With its bold red, black, and gold livery, this locomotive stands out as a tribute to the legacy of railroading in the region.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was a smaller rail line but it is still an important part of our CSX history and we want to honor it,\u201d shared Clyde Marshall, another CSX carman painter involved with the effort.<\/p>\n
The Western Maryland is the twelfth heritage unit released by CSX in its current series, which underscores its appreciation for its railroad history as it continues to innovate for the future. The units are crafted at the company\u2019s mechanical shop in Waycross, Georgia.<\/p>\n
