Ouch! So much hatred towards a railroad that still sports variety, shame on you! I don't remember the last time I shot any BNSF SD40-2 or an Oakway on the NTWGAL! But, I do know that you can find CSX SD40-2's and SD50(-2's) leading mainline trains on a semi-regular basis. Good luck shooting any spartan cab on a road train on the BNSF and UP up here, heck, even one on the CP would be tough. Anyway, enough with my rant.
The first scheme is YN2, or Bright Future. Used from 1992 I believe all the way until 2002 when they switched to the new scheme. The new Blue scheme is YN3, or Dark Future. YN=Yellow Nose.
CSX has painted alot of their older schemed' units lately, but here is the YN1 scheme, which was the scheme right after Stealth. On Stealth and the later scheme with Blue added, the yellow noses were applied after they wanted to make a higher visibilty push.

Yup, just an SD45-2 passing a CPL signal on the CSX on the 14th of this month. No big deal
