With so many classic color schemes that were worn by Fallen Flag railroads all across the U.S., I don't understand why some regional, short line, and tourist roads have to choose funky colors to paint their Diesel locomotives? Some of them appear to be copied from the pages of some kid's coloring book where he or she went wild while trying out every color found in the 96 count box of Crayola (Reg.U.S.Pat.Off.) crayons.
Thank goodness the Strasberg Rail Road (and a host of others, including the NH&I) got it right from the Get Go!
Item: Union Pacific's tribute to The Katy on their heritage locomotive is completely out to lunch and the stale sandwich scheme proves it! On the other hand, UP should get an A+ for the Mopac scheme, Eagle and all. Fantastic!
