Regarding the polka-dotted plow, Lawrence Welk's bubble machine (as lampooned by Stan Freberg in "Wun'erful, Wun'erful") came to mind. Going back to ancient history, some of the interurban cars that worked in Utah received rather bizarre (or to use an anachronistic term, psychedelic) paint jobs toward the end of electric railway operations. And I just had a flashback to some of the Pittsburgh PCC decorations of the 1970's. Date: 09/02/10 23:09 Re: New Trend in Locomotive Visibility Markings? Author: a737flyer BobV Wrote:
