CSX 3003
Title:  CSX 3003
Description:  In the 3rd quarter 2015 issue of Lines South, a publication of the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line Railroads Historical Society, Mr. Doug Riddell has an excellent article about the BQ23-7s. He mentions that 3003 was the only BQ23-7 to be painted in the Bright Future paint scheme. Here's 3003 in that scheme at Fairfax, SC in 1991. It's in charge of a long freight running from Columbia, SC to Savannah, Ga. on the former Seaboard Air Line route, now the S line. The curved track in the foreground connects the S line with the Augusta sub route.
