Looks like they didn’t quite finish the exterior graphics in 2110. Missing the blue flare at the rear.

Nice pics, those are cool looking engines!

When do they enter service?

2109 and 2110 are missing the blue on the rear of the locomotives, as the paint scheme was changed after these two were already painted.

Damn those engines are terribly proportioned.  Asthetics really need to be a factor during the bidding process.  Thanks to GM's involvement the F59PHI's are some of the best looking passenger diesels since the bulldog nose of the E's and F's. SC44's are little better than a box cab.  Thank god they will probably need to be replaced after 10-15 years.

Bus esthetics have also gotten poor.

GMC buses, like Fishbowl, Scenicruisers, and Decks had personality, class, and looked American.
Today's buses are Euro-Asian-looking bland boxes with black windows. The only "style" they have is curvy shrouding to shield all the crap on the roof, which also gives them a bulky, top-heavy appearance.

Considering that he's taking them through the tinted window of a Metrolink or Surfliner car. Yeah there may be a green tint...

And you should clearly know by now that ALL of his photos have that tint to them, even ones taken trackside.

The F59PHI's certainly look GM, same design school that created trucks like the Chevy Avalanche of around 2001, an exercise in how much cheep plastic  crap you can glue to the outside of a truck. The F59PHI has the same sort of pointless and obviously unnecessary styling gimacks.  

Yes, I enjoy your pictures, but please, please take them with a more natural color. 
 

The amount of money Mudrock is spending on train trins, he could purchase a new camera. I have been told he beats this one up alot.
