Is the csx transportation railroad police badge made of gold?
Hi,The current issued CSXT Railroad Police badge is NOT made of gold. Maybe a special CSXT Railroad Police badge can be made of gold but that would cost lots of money (The CSX Transportation will not pay for gold badges for anyone that is a special agent or any other rank in the CSXT Railroad Police). The CSXT Railroad Police badge is very rare and hard to own if you are NOT a CSXT Railroad Police member, I know this for a fact because I am a CSXT Railroad Police & Chessie System Railroad Police Private Item Collector. Good question as some Railroad Police Departments have made special gold Railroad Police badges before in the past.Thank You.William
