I like the UP's "Flag Units" but I also like the BNSF's warbonnets that still say Santa Fe. Its always a joy for me to see one of those in New Jersey.

Hey Gang,
Throw darts and running chain-saws at me if you must. but you can't make a Genesis look better than it's wearing the McG colors of the 'then' and current New Haven colors. If I had to make a second choice, it would be the 'then' of the B&O.
Cheers, and take the train if you can!
