Passenger Trains > Amtrak schemes

I don't live near an Amtrak route so when I visted family in Georgia recently I like to get an Amtrak or two. On December 31st I was in Bremen Georgia and shot the Crescent as it rolled by. Looking at the power I noticed that the second unit had a different paint scheme. Is this another version of the newer scheme?

The first ten or so national network chargers were delivered in that scheme.  Not sure why they revised it.

I believe Amtrak considered those painted in “Phase VI”.

Me neither - cause I liked that paint scheme (livery) better than the latest one. What draws me into it is the detail of the paint scheme at the back end..........

306 wears phase 6
343 wears phase 7

Not sure how many phases we need. Amtrak hasn't been able to decide on a uniform paint scheme since the '80s.

Right? Since they're going to the trouble to repaint some of the P42's, I'd like to see some of those in phase 6.
