Keep a small piece of southeastern rail history in view with a tribute to Seaboard System Railroad. The company formed in 1982 when major Family Lines railroads joined, and its gray, red, and yellow locomotive scheme gave the brief Seaboard era a memorable identity. When the company became CSX Transportation in 1986, its name marked a turning point in railroad consolidation. This fridge magnet is a thoughtful display piece for railfans, collectors, and admirers of transportation history.
The Seaboard System Railroad was a short-lived Class I railroad serving the Southeastern United States from 1982 to 1986. Its corporate roots reach to SCL Industries, formed in 1968 to combine Seaboard Coast Line subsidiary railroads. Renamed Seaboard Coast Line Industries in 1969, the organization became known as the Family Lines System from 1972 to 1982, while its member railroads retained their separate identities. In 1980, Seaboard Coast Line Industries and the Chessie System joined under the holding company CSX Corporation. On December 29, 1982, the Seaboard Coast Line and Louisville & Nashville railroads merged to form the Seaboard System Railroad. Further consolidations brought in the Georgia and Clinchfield railroads in 1983, followed by other smaller railroads through 1986. The company adopted a gray, red, and yellow locomotive scheme that carried forward colors associated with Family Lines. On July 1, 1986, Seaboard System became CSX Transportation. In 1987, the Chesapeake & Ohio absorbed the Baltimore & Ohio and then joined CSX Transportation, bringing the major railroads under CSX Corporation together. The Seaboard name thus marks a transition between the Family Lines era and the consolidated CSX network.
