Having two paint schemes would be boring, but it would take a decade or more to repaint those fleets. I just saw a GP40 in Milwaukee Road paint in Wauwatosa WI a couple days ago. That merger happened 16 years ago. When the CNW was finally purchased by the UP, we began to see paint schemes here in Milwaukee that were never really seen here before. I remember in 1997 walking out of Mairfair mall in Wauwatosa to see a UP train pulled by Tunnel Motors! It was great. I also have a feeling that the next round of mega mergers will produce the next great regional spinoff bonanza as the two ubersystems sell off duplicate, but still viable routes. This could create a host of new paint schemes to enjoy, just like the mid to late 80's. We should always remember to enjoy what we have now because tomorrow it may be gone.
