CVS, the railroad that operates my amazing, D&S Spur. Amazing video, we do see alot of YN2 on the Aberdeen Sub. You officially have made CSX, my favorite existing railroad. Cheers, Winnipeg.
Fact of the Day: X in railroad terms means Consolidated so that means CSX stands for Chessie Seaboard Consolidated I know this because I've worked on trains before
This video was absolutely fantastic. I was never able to properly put into words how YN2 is the perfect CSX scheme, but you did. How the colors reflect CSX's history, I never noticed that. CSX YN2 is still my favorite paint scheme, and always will be. It's not just nostalgia, it just looks great. I love the usage of my footage at 10:06. Thank you.
Might be a bit of nostalgia but man I do love the YN2 scheme. Like I remember being a kid and being able to see this scheme leading the Tropicana juice train just hauling ass north. It’s only now I’m older I realize how cool it was being able to do that basically whenever I wanted.
The first YN3-painted locomotive was an SD50 that was released in 2002. The first NEW YN3-paintes locomotives delivered in YN3 were actually the CW44AHs (AC4400CWs/AH4400CWs) in 2002.
I love YN2 but the YN3 can look good especially on the AC44’s with the YN3B. The fact that the AC44’s are being rebuilt and repainted from YN2 to YN3C is sad but they wear a fresh coat of paint splendidly!!
My channel used to be the reptilian railfans but my friend and I who the channel changed the name a few days ago Thanks for including my clip of CSX 140(the yn2) I absolutely go crazy over YN2s
4:29 - Hey 4419 (and Lima) that's my buddy's video, but I also saw it while it was in Lima. It was stationed there for about 6 months before being taken back down to Queensgate about a month ago. I also noticed some other of my local spots like Deshler, Foster ho- I mean Fostoria, and Marion, overall W video 8:32 no way north baltimore reference
YN2 and H2 lashup hits hard no joke. That’s why I wanted to throw my computer into the street when I missed a CSX YN2 lead and BNSF H2 MAC trailing on a train on the UP Geneva Sub
I might've seen some CSX YN2 motive power in the Pacific Northwest during the early 2000's as 'through power' as well as when I was living on Long Island, NY during the early 2000's. Never got a picture of them while I was on Long Island though as I was in grade school during that time.
Awesome look at the history of YN2, Definitely the best 90's paint scheme, especially compared to something like UP and NS. Also nice reference in the nostalgia part to the Subaru Outback, i have a outback from that generation and its the best car
I think it’s great that CSX gave themselves the YN3 idea with the Bush train as well as UP’s Flag scheme and Bush funeral train. George H.W. Bush did have an impact in railroading after all.
The CSX YN2 paint scheme is amazing, but personally I enjoy the CSX YN3 paint scheme the best because it looks cooler to me with the dark blue, and mustard yellow. It's starting to become more iconic on CSX locomotives, which even the YN3B looks awesome. Though I really do hope that CSX keeps the YN2 paint scheme on some of their locomotives. CSX's first paint scheme with the grey, and blue logo is the blandest. However when the CSX YN2 paint scheme came around the quality went up for CSX paint schemes, then later once they made the YN3 paint scheme I actually think it's even greater imo, and for alot of the CSX locomotives being rebuilt now the YN3 that's newly painted over is still quite shiny seeing it during the daytime. Also I grew up with both CSX YN2, and YN3 paint schemes.💙🩶💛🔵🟡
Great video dude! I feel the same way about the Santa Fe Warbonnet paint scheme. Even though I never lived in the 90’s the paint scheme became my favorite just because I remember watching many DVD documentaries about the 90’s Santa Fe. I also think because of how bright, flashy, and interesting the paint scheme looked compared to other schemes from the 90’s and the modern day has really made me love the Warbonnet paint scheme that much more. Anyways ya’ll get the point, I’m gonna stop my yapping right now before it gets to out of hand. lol
I'll admit, that was some pretty good yap, with just the right amount of sap. 😆 It was a welcomed diversion from the darkness that got even colder and gloomier this week, down here in Yankeeland. FWIW, thanks for continuing to be our good neighbours, even when we don't deserve such, especially right now with our scary clowns saying very troubling things. 🙏
I’ve made it a point to try to get out and catch as many YN2 locomotives as who know how long it will be until they are all gone, with CSX’s rebuild program their days are numbered
the visibility issue makes me think can we gather statistics on train crashes and see if paint scheme has any affect on cars trying to beat the train across a track? Could a intimidating paint scheme trick drivers into thinking twice?
I have a wooden whittle shortline model of a CSX YN2 C44 This scheme is really cool I love it It’s my favorite CSX paint scheme The current scheme is just so freaking bland they completely butchered it 😭
Growing up I used to see this paint scheme all the time, it's always a good day when I see a YN2. However I think the AC6000CW version of YN2 is this best.
Unpopular opinion: I feel like the way the livery on CSX 1850 is almost reminiscent of the AC6000 YN2 variant. Also my clip at 11:02 (nostalgic Minecraft music goes so hard too 🥲)
DID YOU KNOW THAT CSX YN2 CAN BE SEEN IN THE HIT 2008 MOVIE BOLT BY WALT DISNEY STUDIOS? IN THE TRAIN SCENE THERE ARE 3 CSX SD70MAC IN THE ICONIC YN2 PAINT SCH-
CSX’s Bright Future paint scheme is iconic, no doubt, but do you think it truly represents the 'modern railroad'? With so many railroads embracing minimalist or more futuristic designs, does the 'Yellow Nose 2' feel a bit dated now? I personally love its bold colors, but I’m curious if it still holds up against today’s industry standards.
I am from upstate New York we have lots CSX train than other expert Union Pacific with ice train with fruits and vegetables train to Schenectady I real like crazy 8 incident in 2001 the same year i was born on august 17 2001 just one mouths before 9/11 and the unstoppable be favorer train movie now day where the poler express was my from past.

12:33 HELL YEA 😂
For some reason a chilean railroad called TRANSAP adopted the CSX YN2 scheme on its locomotives but instead of having gray, it has lights blue.
The reverb scream at 0:12 is wild 😂. Great video.
CVS, the railroad that operates my amazing, D&S Spur.

10:39 Hey it’s my clip, it feels so surreal to see one of my clips in someone else’s video, thanks for using it 😊
Goated paint scheme 👍.
0:40 I love CXS
The csx yn2 paint scheme may be in my top 3 railroad paint schemes of all time.
It’s always the best videos with small youtubers

I knew many B&O C&O employees but CSX became the railroad in our community.
Great video dude! I agree with that nostalgia reasoning. Happy to provide clips for it!
So awesome bro! YN1 and YN2 both are goated paint schemes!
when I was talking to my friend's one day and when I said csx they thought I was saying sex

I was in decatur when that kid screamed about a yn2 lmao. I grew up seeing those it’s not a big deal to me.
5:31 CSX 5555 was the Spirit of Cartersville which us my hometown. cool.
I just found a random old video I got of one of these locos! Might post it
I love YN2 but the YN3 can look good especially on the AC44’s with the YN3B. The fact that the AC44’s are being rebuilt and repainted from YN2 to YN3C is sad but they wear a fresh coat of paint splendidly!!
My channel used to be the reptilian railfans but my friend and I who the channel changed the name a few days ago
Thanks for including my clip of CSX 140(the yn2)
I absolutely go crazy over YN2s
Happy I could provide a clip for the vid! As a Northeast Ohio Railfan I see a lot of these engines day after day!

yuuum new video lets go

Damn, i snooze, i lose. Still W video as always. It's always a good day when you see a yn2 leading.
Ngl YN2 is the best modern paint scheme I have seen a few and I enjoyed catching them. So great video it really explains why it’s a good paint scheme.
I think it’s great that CSX gave themselves the YN3 idea with the Bush train as well as UP’s Flag scheme and Bush funeral train. George H.W. Bush did have an impact in railroading after all.

there was a geotrax toy locomotive that was not only based off a GE (I think), but was also painted in yn2 colors
CXS YN2 is one of my favorite paint schemes of all time I hope you catch them while you can Great Video
I would love to see an SD60s video.
Great video dude! I feel the same way about the Santa Fe Warbonnet paint scheme. Even though I never lived in the 90’s the paint scheme became my favorite just because I remember watching many DVD documentaries about the 90’s Santa Fe.

holy cow new video!!!
That intro 😂
This will be CSX in 1934.
CTC railroad is epic
AC6K MENTIONED🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
i still see yn2's
i LOVE their paint, prob my fav paint of ANY railraod
I'll admit, that was some pretty good yap, with just the right amount of sap. 😆 It was a welcomed diversion from the darkness that got even colder and gloomier this week, down here in Yankeeland.

Well they won’t all be gone this year.
@ yeah they won’t be but it won’t be long
It will be a sad day when we lose the final YN2 painted CSX Locomotive. There is not another Paint Scheme (apart from the warbonnet) that can beat it.
0:25, I’ve also been wondering what the X is for in CSX
Probably 'combination', even if it doesn't start with X
But several of CSX’s heritage units remind me of the YN2, *Seaboard system 1982, NYC 1853, L&N 1850 Family Lines 1972, and Clinchfield 1902*
It stands for eXperimental.
I shit you not, the x is for experimental.
X stands for multiplication between two companies
I've referred to the x in csx as expansion
Winnie pig railfanning in Indianapolis ??👀👀
0:27 I think the x in CSX means express, I might be wrong, because if express in CSX is spelled correctly it would be CSE
8:48 the fact i can recognize this by the fence, FO-TRIOT (fostoria) 🤣
I want to sign a petition for CSX To get YN2 Back “the YN2 On the AC6000CW”
8:28
look Gary, there I am! (I stopped using the railfan reed channel this is my new one that I have for personal use)
0:06 That will be me when CSX repaints most of their YN2 units.
4:38 fun fact only 1 SD80MAC got YN2 No. 801/4591
Hi The Winnipeg Railfan & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks The Winnipeg Railfan & Friends Randy
the visibility issue makes me think
can we gather statistics on train crashes and see if paint scheme has any affect on cars trying to beat the train across a track?
Could a intimidating paint scheme trick drivers into thinking twice?
i like the vidio😊
Glad to participate! ❤❤
You forgot about the "YN2-y" or "YN2b" AC6000CW livery with the yellow letters on the sides of the long hood.
The superfleet war bonnet has entered the chat.
I have a wooden whittle shortline model of a CSX YN2 C44
This scheme is really cool I love it
It’s my favorite CSX paint scheme
The current scheme is just so freaking bland they completely butchered it 😭
Growing up I used to see this paint scheme all the time, it's always a good day when I see a YN2. However I think the AC6000CW version of YN2 is this best.
Amazing video man

YN3 is just BR Blue locomotive livery with a diferent shade : D
DID YOU KNOW THAT CSX YN2 CAN BE SEEN IN THE HIT 2008 MOVIE BOLT BY WALT DISNEY STUDIOS?

I can agree that YN2 is the best scheme, but YN3 is also good, my only downside for YN3 is the angled stripe not being there
Yo new video post is crazy🦀
YN2 is a great color scheme don’t get me wrong, but YN3 isn’t a bad scheme I guess the point he made makes sense, blinding nostalgia
I thought this was real for a second 😭(starting clip)
I believe the “X” stands for the merger, cause the two lines of the X were the Chess and Seaboard
get this man a true
H1 is also a good paint scheme
That intro should be NS
CSX’s Bright Future paint scheme is iconic, no doubt, but do you think it truly represents the 'modern railroad'? With so many railroads embracing minimalist or more futuristic designs, does the 'Yellow Nose 2' feel a bit dated now? I personally love its bold colors, but I’m curious if it still holds up against today’s industry standards.
X means equipment.
I found that out.
And I subscribed to your channel
Nice video
Btw the x symbolizes the merger
The goober uploaded
4:36 guys you know what else is massive?
I can hear casex trains while im try😅ng os slep sleeeep 😮😮😮
I just noticed wolfychu is in your intro
1:03 Indianapolis reference!!!!
1:17 Ayo💀
I hope to travel to CSX territory for myself to get yn2 before they're all gone.
Both Spirit of the Clinchfield and Spirit of Cartersville are unofficial.
Edit: sorry for sounding like a nerd.🤓
YOU FORGOT THE GEOTRAX
x is a multiplication symbol meaning and more in the context of CSX
That intro was... different
I am from upstate New York we have lots CSX train than other expert Union Pacific with ice train with fruits and vegetables train to Schenectady I real like crazy 8 incident in 2001 the same year i was born on august 17 2001 just one mouths before 9/11 and the unstoppable be favorer train movie now day where the poler express was my from past.
when did you make a fursona?
also I cant remember why I subscribe
ah yes, my faveorite railroad: CXS
CVS number 1 railroad!!
The X In CSX Means Multiplier
Now do this with every railroad
YN2 the best CSX paint
The CSX YN2 More Resembles Ukrainian Flag
But YN4 will honored the YN2
