A CW44AC was spotted in Huntington the other day in fresh YN3 paint (no boxcar logo) with “www.CSX.com” under the “X” on the hood.

BL2-1843 mentioned this a few days ago. Lots of mentions, no photos out there to share or see....

The posted photos by SD80MAC Sunday that were taken by Nick Odell on CSX 155 shows the revised WWW CSX DOT COM lettering. The original sized lettering that was put on, which was rejected by Jacksonville, had much larger and thicker lettering that the ran the full length of the CSX logo on the side of the long hood, Still not confirmed if this is final or will be revised again,

Trains.com had an article 5 days ago confirming that 155 is the official new paint scheme. Question is now do we call it YN3C or is it just YN3 again?

IMHO just YN3 again, since it is such a subtle change to the logo from original YN3.

Perhaps, but many disagree. Seeing it has been so many years between the time the last YN3 ended and the new one started, it is important to note the new era of YN3 units that has the website address on it to note the old from the new. Even if there was no website address on it, there needs to be some sort of way to distinguish between the two. YN3w it is for me, and the Bull Sheet. If the large lettering on 155 ever gets on the railfan sites, like the one I have (and perhaps it is somewhere, it would be more appreciated. .

YN3w immediately popped into my head… then I saw Bob had the same thought. If .com was all that was there I could see your point better. But it’s a web address. If they revise it again can we call it YN3d for . ?

Two more SD70Mac rebuilds have been released from Huntington making the total up to 35 now. 4537 & 4573 were the latest seen at Fostoria yesterday on a coal train. 4573 is also the first YN3b unit to succumb to YN3w. Apparently, for now anyway, YN3w repaints coming out of Waycross now that the paint shop has been reopened there has larger cased lettering for the website name unlike Huntington that has lower case. CSX 37 & 314 from Waycross, both former YN2 units shows this. Another new HHR repaint in YN3w is CSX 82 if not already reported.
