There are 'red remnants' of the real warbonnet on this U30CG (6 built) @ Denver in 4/77 ... but not a pretty sight. By Bruce Black.

I really liked those when they came out in the red/silver. I know a lot of people did not like them.

Wonderful image. That unit is reminiscent of some of the masterpiece Illinois Central Gulf locomotive paint jobs of the '70's and '80's.
