Hi, Lord Atmo-- I can't argue with you about the relative merits (from my view) of the SP color scheme (though, didn't you prefer the SP Daylight colors?!), but I did read somewhere that the SP CEO of the day, B.F. Biaggini, originally mistook the gray for a light blue color, and the red for a shade of orange (it must have been a foggy day in SF, eh?!), so that the whole selection of that scheme was a bit of a joke... And BTW, if you're opposed to large, unresponsive RR cos. and the predatory behavior that goes along with that, I'm not sure you should be glorifying the SP.  They've had a rather long history of that kind of behavior in CA (known as "the Octopus") and there's even a SCOTUS (Supreme Court) case attributed, I think, to them which supposedly gives a lot of the store away to those who wish to concentrate power.  I fully concede that they (the SP) may be friendlier to railfanners and the public than UP, but they're no angels (and to paraphrase Casey Stengel, I don't think they could "play the game" very well) Riprap
