One of the new CSX Heritage series locomotives, the Seaboard System unit 1982, leads on CSX I025 as it heads south past the WF Ware grain storage tanks in Trenton, Ky, on July 6th, 2023, on the Henderson Subdivision. 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.

Digital Art Photo-Portrait of Norfolk Southern Heritage Unit 8099, “Southern” sporting its new number boards after being repainted as it sits in the east end of the yard at Princeton, Indiana on July 8th, 2023, on the NS Southern-East District. This scheme is from the Southern Railway (GE) which originated as the South Carolina Canal and Railroad Company in 1827. On Christmas Day, 1830, it put into service the nation’s first regularly scheduled steam passenger train, “The Best Friend of Charleston.” Southern was incorporated in 1894 from the reorganization and consolidation of numerous predecessors and absorbed another 68 railroad companies over the next six years.
