CSXT 1902 Clinchfield Heritage Unit heads down the viaduct at Rahm, Indiana, on October 31st, 2025, as the mid-train DPU, on the CSX Henderson Subdivision. This wraps up my hunt to catch all 21 of the Heritage Units they’ve released so far! I still have a couple I’d like catching and not as DPU’s but it’ll happen.
November 4, 2024 – CSX recently unveiled its 20th heritage locomotive, the Clinchfield #1902, marking a significant milestone in its ongoing homage to the railroads that have shaped its legacy. This new addition to the CSX heritage series will lead the iconic Santa Train on November 23, 2024, a cherished tradition that brings joy to communities across the Appalachian region.
The Clinchfield locomotive has been meticulously designed to pay tribute to the original Clinchfield Railroad, which played an important role in the development of rail transport in the southeastern United States. The locomotive’s design features the distinctive colors and markings that reflect the historical aesthetics of the Clinchfield Railroad, evoking nostalgia and honoring the engineers and workers who laid its tracks.
