Bluford is doing the Love Shack

Hidden in the announcement of the new transfer cabeese coming out.....

Is the unique CSX crummy affectionately named the Love Shack.

Bluford highlighted this info.  But some dealers are not paying attention and just listing two CSX cabs.

The Love shack is not graffiti.  Someone actually painted this on the ends.



I hope that Bluford notices that the lettering is different on each end.

On the end above, the special lettering has the word THE and all is below the red line.

On the other end, the word THE is missing, and it is squeezed ABOVE the red safety stripe.



But even if they didn't get this small detail right, I'll still get one.

So if you are a CSX fan, this is a one of a kind cabbose.
Not just another CSX release.

Road number 16607
ITEM # BLU-21190

Here it is without graffiti.
And without the Love Shack lettering.
So obviously is was added by some talented enterprising CSX employee with access to CSX blue paint.

As a matter of fact, we DID notice that the Love Shack lettering is different on each end and the Bluford version will reflect that.

Unique means only a few places saw it grace the rails, so not every CSX fan needs one, although everyone should have a Love Shack. Especially, B52 fans. :D

SO, where did this special caboose hang out? As someone who models Chicago and NW Indiana, it seems like it might be right up my alley. But I don't remember ever seeing it; although I've seen numerous of these types all around my modeled area.

I also noted that the end of the cab with just "Love Shack" above the RED line that it does not have the CSXT 16607 on the end of the car.
