Just my 2 cents worth. Though I model the '50s-'60s era, and think that the ATSF warbonnets were about the sharpest trains around, these days are gone in real life here in the 21st century. Since so little is left of the "original" ATSF railroad of that era, it would be natural for the merged railroad to seek its' own identity. (Thankfully UP has brought all their merged and purchased roads in and kept their identity strong.) As far as the color scheme and logo itself, to me, it is better than some, worse than others. But it does give them an "identity" of their own instead of trying to merge all the diverging logos into something barely recognizable. For modelers the ATSF, CB&Q, GN, NP and others will always be with us. In real life, they are (unfortunately) long gone.
