You know, it's funny you brought this thread back up. The other day, I was reading a thread here on CC and noticed a CC member's avitar photo. I said to myself ..."self... that looks a little like the emblem on the side of 3002"!
Of course, now I can't remember exactly what his avitar looked like or who it was.
So the plot thins!
When I run across it, I'll link it to this thread.

It's hard to tell from the picture but it does look a lot like the old style Holman & Moody decal that you can see on the uper left firewall of my car.

I looks like a Koni Shock decal to me.

I think the decal is "Competition Proven". Here are a few pics of 3002.

Another picture of CSX 3002 early on.

Here's a Holman Moody Competition Proven decal. Ebay has them.

I'm pretty sure it is not a Holman/Moody, and a Koni just does not make sense.

If anybody has a higher res photo I can probably tell for certain what it is, but I have an interesting guess right now. I can put together a graphic example if anybody is interested.
