Eastern Railroad Discussion > 1 scheme and 1 scheme onlyDate: 05/31/01 17:28 1 scheme and 1 scheme only Author: chessie-2117 If you could revive only one paint scheme from the past, what would it be? Any fallen flag will do, class one, short line, whatever. It doesn't necessarly have to be your personal favorite, keep in mind it should look good on today's modern wide cab locomotives.
Just a thread for a little enjoyment and conversation. John R http://www.trainweb.org/phllocal Date: 05/31/01 17:53 RE: 1 scheme and 1 scheme only Author: skunk The last Wabash scheme in dark blue with a flag on the nose, striping and "Wabash" on the side of the hood.
Date: 05/31/01 18:16 RE: 1 scheme and 1 scheme only Author: CSXDash9 CHESSIE!!! Gotta love Chessie System
CSXDash9 Date: 05/31/01 18:50 RE: 1 scheme and 1 scheme only Author: AGS3299 Southern Green. Anything other than black would look better on all those Dash 9's.

LONG LIVE THE KITTEN Date: 05/31/01 20:34 Milwaukee Road-Hiawatha Nose Author: alanschenkel I'm also gonna miss Denver Rio Grande & Western, Chicago & North Western, Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe, and Burlington Northern when they're gone. Why repaint dangit! Just let it go until it's ugly....

Date: 05/31/01 22:11 ACL Author: fullservice Atlantic Coast Line's F units by far have the coolest paint job. That and the PRR GG1's. I like the maroon with the gold pin strips. Very typical of 40's and 50's
Date: 05/31/01 22:58 RE: One scheme Author: mp109 PRR old passenger scheme; tuscan red with 5 stripes.
Date: 06/01/01 06:19 RE: One scheme Author: beauprejesse Would have to say EL or even short line Morristown & Erie.
Date: 06/01/01 09:48 RE: 1 scheme and 1 scheme only Author: chessieman Chessie System.
Date: 06/01/01 11:21 RE: 1 scheme and 1 scheme only Author: punxyspatcher I hate to sound like I'm jumping on the bandwagon, but Chessie System would get my top votes. NYC Lightning Stripes would be my runner up.
BUT Consider a SD70MAC in Southern Pacific's Daylight! (Yes, I realize this is the eastern board). Date: 06/01/01 12:44 RE: 1 scheme and 1 scheme only Author: JohnZuna Chessie System all the way!!!
Date: 06/01/01 13:17 RE: 1 scheme and 1 scheme only Author: n01jd1 Chessie System, Hands Down. Its definitely better than dirty CSX paint. Dirty paint shows the lack of pride CSX people have in thier railroad. You didnt see Conrail with road engines as filthy as CSX AC6000's
Date: 06/01/01 14:18 RE: 1 scheme and 1 scheme only Author: iocr Federal Yellow, Enchantment Blue and Vermillion...here kitty, kitty.
Without a doubt it's Chessie. Imagine if CSX had had a little imagination back in '86 ChesSea System perhaps. Isn't it funny that the "Bright Future" scheme is a C&O throwback.

Green Ranger Date: 06/01/01 14:38 RE: 1 scheme and 1 scheme only Author: crazy_nip SAL!!!!
with the pulman green, not the later mint green Date: 06/01/01 15:18 RE: 1 scheme and 1 scheme only Author: Schramman In order....
GM&O Red and Maroon or ACL Silver and Purple Just imagine, new AC6000's in Purple! Cool! I always thought the Chessie scheme was way too '70's. Date: 06/01/01 15:55 RE: 1 scheme and 1 scheme only Author: cnj1524 Gotta go for the CNJ "Coast Gaurd" scheme (full version)
