CSX TRANSPORTATION
In 1980 the CSX was formed.  This was basically the C&O/B&O/Seaboard System.  
In 1985 CSX was reorganized and the Chessie and Seaboard System were brought
under the control of the CSXT Organization. At this time many new paint schemes
were tried, until settling on the "BOW WAVE".
