The railroad we know today as the CSX Transportation Company,
was created during the mid 1980's, in the wake of several mergers
that took place over several years.
One of the predecessor railroads, was the Seaboard Coast Line
Railroad, which was a southeastern United States regional -
railroad company, that operated mainly in Florida and Georgia.
It was originally known as the Seaboard Air Line Railroad.
This photograph was taken sometime after the 1967 merger of
the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, and the Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad. The locomotive shown here in this rare color late
1960's era photograph, shows SCL locomotive # 26, still -
wearing the now faded 1950's era black and red S.A.L color
scheme used on switcher locomotives, but now features the
new Seaboard Coast Line markings on the side of the hood.
