CSX unveils latest 'Pride in Service' locomotive

CSX yesterday unveiled its Spirit of our Law Enforcement commemorative locomotive at the Class I's locomotive shop in Huntington, West Virginia.

The CSXT 3194 was renamed to honor the nation's police officers. The unit joins the railroad's collection of Pride In Service locomotives launched this spring: the Spirit of Our Armed Forces and the Spirit of our First Responders.

The locomotive is a "moving tribute to the men and women who serve us every day and aligns with CSX's goal to connect military service members, first responders and their families to the resources and support they need," said Ed Harris, CSX's executive vice president of operations, in a press release.

Each locomotive is painted to honor the CSX Pride in Service partners and to promote the CSX Pride in Service program, which is a "community investment initiative with a goal of positively impacting 100,000 military service members, veterans, first responders and their families by 2020," CSX officials said.
