Seems they also had a lime green scheme but I can't find a photo of one.What does one think of when they or someone else sates thats a Gaudy paint scheme?
Agreed. Not gaudy, but kind of makes a horrific mockery of both the classic war bonnet and the distinguished executive schemes.I don't know if it's gaudy but I can't bear to look at this scheme!

I don't know if they did it on purpose or not but going to the black eliminated the eye sore (every one knows that technically an eye sore is a set of colors that fatigue a human's eye when looked at long enough, right?), so it became a Halloween scheme and then they went and added the wedgy logo to it. That logo would ruin any paint scheme.BNSF, I like the scheme with the large gold letters as shown in I.H's pic but prefer the Heritage2 with the dark green contrast rather than the black.
I never did either until it was gone. After they had been missing from common service for a while I saw one in a consist and suddenly understood its statement about the RRs geography and its elegance in simplicity.Don't like the BN green.
Where is "America's Central Port"?Here's my two cents.
Gaudy Paint Schemes?
