given how there's still a plethora of Sante Fe and BN patchout loco's out there, I can understand why. Also they did start a Heritage Railcar program recently

BNSF heritage would be nice to see.

Santa Fe- The old billboard or warbonnent scheme. The zebra scheme would be nice to see as well.

Burlington Northern- Cascade scheme. Hockey stick would be neat to see.

CB&Q- Chinese red or Everywhere West. One painted chrome would be amazing.

Great Northern- Empire Builder is the only option IMO

Northern Pacific- I don't know anything about the scheme besides a yellow stripe down the side.

SP&S- Black with a large yellow stripe down the middle.

Frisco- Orange & white, I prefer the original FR-F1 scheme. A meteor scheme would be great too.

I agree and so do a lot of other railfans.  Andy Fletcher is a Facebook friend and he's making sketches of how the units could look. He's the one who designed the NS units.

I would love to see Frisco rolling on the rails again, even if it is just a heritage unit.
