Good schemes, bad schemes, it's really like art in that the beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. In the days of yore, i.e. first generation diesels, the railroads for the most part were trying to impress the traveling public with flashy, attractive, and powerful looking paint schemes. They also had the benefit of the fruits of the industrial designers at GM, Alco, Baldwin, and others that provided shapely carbodies upon which attractive schemes flowed. Today's angular and/or squared off carbodies do not lend themselves to the sophistication of past schemes. The question I have is, why can't EMD and GE design their carbodies to replicate the E/F Series and Alco PA types of the past? The general shape of the engine has come full circle back to what it was in the 40's and 50's. Food for thought.
