Personally I like BNSF's Heritage I and II schemes. I'm also partiat to the old Great Northern green and orange scheme after which I think BNSF partially patterned their schemes.

Everyone is picking the flashy kodacolor paint jobs. Give me the the Pennsy Tuscan w/ gold stripes anyday.
Recently saw a GG1 at Harrisburg station in the green w/ 5 gold stripes, looked sharp too. But not a nice as the tuscan.

Sacrilege! The simple beauty of the gold and black freight scheme is unbeatable. Of course, just about anything with that great Monon block lettering looked pretty darned good.

Favorite currently in use is the BNSF Executive scheme (why can't they all be like that instead of that ugly Green/Orange garbage?)
