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 railroadsnotably the Louisville & Nashville and Clinchfieldas 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.
