I'm starting out on my first serious layout endeavor. I will be modeling a version of the town I grew up in, in Maryland during the late 1980's. My question is what is the difference between CSX car renumbering where the old road name and number are painted over, and "CSXT 012345" is painted over it vs the original road name and number left intact and the CSX logo added to the opposite end of the car? Are there specific reasons for this? How does this fit into the era? I will be using rolling stock from all of the companies CSX acquired with a man focus on B&O, C&O and WM. Trying to figure out how to appropriately number them. Thanks in advance.
