A Erie Built AC44C6M has the Standard NS Paint (boring) Hmm 

While, The Junanita ones are COOL because of the Paint they got.

Juniata FTW, GE Erie FTL.

 I Hope that the Roanoke Rebuilds are painted into the DC 2 AC Paint. Smile

I for one happen to like those flashy NS paint schemes.

Sure, I understand the "basic black,"  it's easy to apply and easy to take care of, but it makes those typical NS units look more like hearses than locomotives.

It's been fun.  But it isn't much fun anymore.   Signing off for now.

The blue ones were painted at Chattanooga.

Very much like the old D&H indeed, which was a very classy paint scheme, especially on those ALCO PA's they once owned, and the Baldwin "Sharks."
