I've not been in O that long, however I always thought a 44 ton loco smaller then the current WBB would be cool. I pre-ordered a SF from Nassau within a week of the announcement.
I would have prefered a blue & yellow scheme, as I really miss it. I live about 100 yards north of the BNSF transcon. (Separated by a 2 story burm & sound wall). Only thing I miss more then blue/yellow or silver/red, is a lack of graffiti.
