CSX Heritage: Locomotive 1852 Honoring the Western Maryland Railway 

Even though people hate the heritage units, I definitely have some favorites and not some favorites, but 1852 is definitely a favorite.

Can’t lie they still did awesome with this one!

Bravo CSX! I grew up visiting my grandparents in Western MD. Saw these trains all the time during my visits. Also, as a shareholder, I appreciate the fact that CSX has chosen to recognize its past. Great Job. 👍

Great job CSX, Keep it up, it’s great that they’re paying attention to the smaller railroads that make up the system

I remember the black with the yellow lettering with the speedball emblem. Those were the proud days for the WM, with all those fast-moving coal trains. Lots of RS 3's on the Thomas Sub. Thanks for the memories.

Honestly it would have been a really nice touch to put the Fireball on the front of the nose as it would've stood out there but not intruded too much on the overall design but this is still a very sharp looking heritage unit, good going CSX!

I think that one is the best so far! Good job CSX!

Thank you CSX for this and the other heritage units!❤

Looks great, honors the “Wild Mary” a unique component of CSX

I wasn’t a huge fan at first, but it’s growing on me. I’m glad to see the smaller lines get attention. Gives me hope to see units for the smaller lines that came together for FLS/SBD

Anyone noticing the WMSR fireball?

holy hell they did an amazing job with this heritage locomotive

My family had 2 generations at the WM and my dad hired with Chessie. Very excited to see this happen!

Great Job! It Looks Awesome!

despite what some people have on this unit, I still quite like it. Something to take note of however is usage of the wrong fireball logo as thats of the WMSR instead of the actual Western Maryland Railway as the original is "Fast Freight Line".

About time you gave credit to an important pioneering railroad that CSX rose from. WM was one of the best examples of Appalachian Mountains railroad engineering.

Man i love the western texas railroad

Best looking one so far!

Love these heritage units. Great job CSX

This is sooooo BEAUTIFUL I think what you’re doing is spot on!!!! You are honoring your heritage and you are reminding people that you are now proudly CSXT!!!!!!🎉🎉

Can’t wait to try and catch it on the lines. Bravo!

Beautiful. Outstanding!!👍

I’m not a hater on these heritage units it reminds me of csx and whatever the railroad is on the unit

This will be my favorite until the Clinchfield comes out! 10/10, CSX!

Awesome job CSX my 3rd favorite heritage unit behind 1973 and 1976.

You guys do great work….. love the heritage units!!!!

Thank you for choosing this scheme over the black scheme. Really like it!

Looking great! Keep up the awesome work!

Great video CSX of the Western Maryland Heritage Unit! Every time you guys complete one of that looks PHENOMENAL the Waycross Paint Shop unveils another! You guys knocked it out of the park yet again! Cheers from Laurel, Delaware USA.

I caught a picture of that beauty rolling through town today!

I think CSX would be the only railroad on top of the tier list..CSX is ontop. I just love the new paint schemes, people might hate it but at least csx is doing something good, unlike the other railroads no hating but, I've lived by the CSX tracks my whole 15 years, and its been good catching all these new paints coming out.. everytime an engine would get repainted, it'll always come on to M692-3 or m653. some of those symbols, I like to post them on Heritage Units app and track them down to catch them. Great job CSX! Keep up the good work!

Congratulations csx and men and women of this company I love this paint scheme I love all paint scheme units thanks csx for all work goes into these units

Very nice CSX. Looks great!

Looks great!!

Another great job!

This is awesome!

Beautiful Work Gentlemen.

Glad to see the WM being represented finally! Their red and white color scheme is a favorite of mine and this unit this completes the main Chessie System family of railroads! Keep it up guys! Looking forward to more Heritage Unit projects soon!

I live in Western Maryland and this is quite a treat! 😊

Ok yeah. That one’s pretty sweet. Nice job guys

👍WM/ CSX👍, hello from the Eastern Shore. 👋😎🛤🚂🚄

Looks good!

Oh this is awesome

Very nice! Congrats.

Love it!

This is awesome

It’s interesting that they show a picture of the WM F7 with steam on Helmstetters curve in Cash Valley Md on the connelsville sub-division. With they had done some of the black roof down the sides the width of the radiator hood. The black would have set it off even more. All of the Csx heritage units will be challenging to get to see them all!

Woah, that’s quite an interesting paint job. Approved.

I was fortunate to catch it at Point of Rocks a couple of wks ago, it deserves to be put back on the Cumberland sub instead of out west,

Awesome engine! Can’t wait to see it hauling freight

Nice paint job

I thought they were done, this is beautiful

Yay, the Wild Mary!

My grandpappy worked for the Western Maryland back in the days of steam in the Connellsville area.

Awesome looks great .😊😊👍👍

So I need to see a video of all the newly painted heritage units together CSX!! Definitely wanna know how many are there together and it would be great to show how far back the history goes from former big/small railroads that helped build/shape the United States as time went on to forming CSX today

Wild Mary rolls down the rails once again 👍

it's hilarious how they used the WMSR fireball instead of the WM fireball

This train was caught yesterday in the waycross csx yard.

Cool

Now that’s what I’m talking about 👍👍🥳🥳👏👏👏👏

I love them all but i think you got the New York Central unit's font wrong.

The new gevo looks dope

How many heritage units are you up to now by the way?

Definitely one of the better ones in my opinion

Okay. This is the best heritage unit so far. Keep up the good work And hey you're better than norfolk southern

Thank you for the information, you guys are the best, @CSXOifficial, I like that heritage unit.

I prepared myself to not get speed lettering on day one, but honestly, I like this a lot. I even like the fireball on top of the circus colors. I think it actually looks pretty good. But was it a colab with the scenic? I'm just wondering why it says "the scenic line" instead of "fast freight line"

I like this one I lot got to be #3 or 4 on my list

@CSX for the last 4 weeks I had a feeling that the WM unit was gonna be out next....how did I guess right?😮

I wish they did some heritage units with dash 8s!

Way to go, CSX!

we evolving the WM with this one 🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥

It looks beautiful! There are some people saying it looks like the Texas flag. What do you guys think about that?

Hey guys, I love your heritage units, but you used the wrong logo for 1852. The actual WM logo should say "Fast Freight Line". What you used was the WMSR logo that says "The Scenic Route". Aside from that, looks great.

Fiinally! It's here😊

Western Maryland still has its own railroad these days too with some steam engines and a diesel

Let's make CSX get 100K subs

люблю CSX!!!

Why did you guys use the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad fireball? I just noticed that, was it intentional or?

i like it

great job CSX! whats the next unit? penssalvania?

What is this class of diesel electric locomotive?

I was excited for this one the most. (I thought it looked like the Texas flag as well.)

What's the particular reason you guys chose to use the logo of the Western Maryland Scenic Railway instead of the actual Western Maryland Railway?

When are we going to see a Maine Central heritage unit?

I love this engine but just one thing I wish they did is make a little bit more black on the top

I see CSX all the time at national turnpike they go fast or slow (Fun Fact) The railroad crossing gate is equipped with a train detection system that senses the presence of a train.

BAVO CSX I LIKE IT CSX KEEP GOING ON

Yall going to include the black fireball skin? Also why not paint the whole locomotive? Cause yall have some nice units that would look good all the way round.

BACON CSX I LIKE IT CSX KEEP GOING ON

CSX has moved to Texas!!! *The Paint skin looks like the Texan Flag (kinda)*

I think CSX 1899 (Pere Marquette) will be next. Then 1967 (SCL) and 1875 (P&LE)

When are you going to Horner the pennsylvania railroad csx

When will we see Clinchfield?

Wait the logo is wrong it’s supposed to be the fast freight line

Wait pere Marquette is next?

It would be neat if CSX would allow this loco to make one trip from Cumberland to Frostburg.

this will never run on my home line while im out railfanning

we getting pan ar or guilford??
