While spending the night at the gulf coast of Florida, I found out the new Atlantic Coast Line heritage unit was coming down on M441, so a good friend and I went to Plant City to catch it on the S-Line. This was the unit's first trip to Florida and it since it wasn't even a week old yet when this was filmed, the paint was still very clean. This unit is very pretty and it looks like CSX ditched the fade and went for a solid transition from the heritage paint to the CSX paint. I like this approach. This is now my second favorite CSX heritage unit, a very close second. My favorite is the Chesapeake and Ohio heritage unit. Remember to like and subscribe so you won't miss out on future uploads.
