Warner conductor CSX Reply Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, March 19, 2005 11:01 PM The new BNSF paint scheme is basically the same as it has been except for some of the yellow stripping. The front of the cab under the new logo scheme lacks some of the yellow stripes that were once around the BNSF letters. The new BNSF logo is the new major design change. Personally, I believe the new lettering is nice. As for the orange color and design itself, it is distinctive when one sees the engines and highly is recognizable as the trains travel down the tracks. It is unique compared to some of the other engine colors. The Norfolk and Southern is rather plain except for the logo on the front of engine. I have not seen any of the new logo schemes on any BNSF engines. I live near the BNFS main line (transcontinental) in KS and have not seen any engines with the new logo. I do not live near the track so I don’t see every train going by. I grew up in Parsons, Kansas where the M.K.&T. (Katy) Railroad’s main line and shops were. The Katy had red engines with white letters and the same was true for the caboose. I believe when John Walker Barriger III was president of the Katy (1965 to 1970) he decided to change the color scheme to green and yellow. Yellow diagonal lines graced the front of the cab. It was disappointing to see the red color scheme disappear but it was probably a chance to reshape the image of the Katy. One history description of the Katy explained that Barriger’s job was to find a merger partner to buy the Katy. The new paint scheme was probably designed to aesthetically make the Katy look better. Financially, the Katy continued to decline through the 1960’s into the 1980’s until the merger with the Union Pacific. Most rail buffs probably prefer to seek out Katy memorabilia with red colors.

NS could take it's pick of southern schools, but I think the big diesels would look kinda funny in North Carolina's baby blue plad. UP's already got the gold going on so maybe they are Cal fans.

Warner conductor CSX Reply Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, March 19, 2005 11:01 PM The new BNSF paint scheme is basically the same as it has been except for some of the yellow stripping. The front of the cab under the new logo scheme lacks some of the yellow stripes that were once around the BNSF letters. The new BNSF logo is the new major design change. Personally, I believe the new lettering is nice. As for the orange color and design itself, it is distinctive when one sees the engines and highly is recognizable as the trains travel down the tracks. It is unique compared to some of the other engine colors. The Norfolk and Southern is rather plain except for the logo on the front of engine. I have not seen any of the new logo schemes on any BNSF engines. I live near the BNFS main line (transcontinental) in KS and have not seen any engines with the new logo. I do not live near the track so I don’t see every train going by. I grew up in Parsons, Kansas where the M.K.&T. (Katy) Railroad’s main line and shops were. The Katy had red engines with white letters and the same was true for the caboose. I believe when John Walker Barriger III was president of the Katy (1965 to 1970) he decided to change the color scheme to green and yellow. Yellow diagonal lines graced the front of the cab. It was disappointing to see the red color scheme disappear but it was probably a chance to reshape the image of the Katy. One history description of the Katy explained that Barriger’s job was to find a merger partner to buy the Katy. The new paint scheme was probably designed to aesthetically make the Katy look better. Financially, the Katy continued to decline through the 1960’s into the 1980’s until the merger with the Union Pacific. Most rail buffs probably prefer to seek out Katy memorabilia with red colors.

NS could take it's pick of southern schools, but I think the big diesels would look kinda funny in North Carolina's baby blue plad. UP's already got the gold going on so maybe they are Cal fans. CN bought Wisconsin Central and they already have the Badger's red and white in their paintjobs. Wisconsin Southern could do okay with Milwaukee's black and gold.
