CSX Ex Con

[scooter3798]

Here are some shots of an ex CR C40-8 that I did from an Atlas unit. When I first decided on the 7491 I thought that it was a pretty plain unit. However upon further review of it I found it had some interesting quirks. First was the yellow headlight. From what I can determine it gained this feature sometime around 2002. Next there is the lone remaining marker light on the front, the other was covered with a red plate. Others include a gray radiator grill and the lack of snow plow, the latter of which dissapeared shortly after the CR split. I retained the factory paint on the unit, aside from the patch, interestingly the unit's factory number was 6036, which in real life became the 7491. I had picked the 7491 not because of it being the former 6036, but rather because it was one only two C40-8's still wearing the Quality scheme.
