ROADNAME AND ROAD NUMBER SPECIFIC FEATURES:
CSX FEATURES:
These SD70Ms previously wore the EMD demonstrator scheme of burgundy with a black underframe. When they were acquired by CSX, they ran for several years before being repainted in the then-current YN2 "Bright Future" scheme, which they are depicted with here. In addition, several of the units received special names adorning the sides of the nose-all were significant places in Florida, where the SD70Ms worked frequently.
