Sorry, in freight service the blue and yellow warbonnet was the best paint scheme Santa Fe ever had.

Obviously, if it has a GP in front of it, it's still a "geep".

Think we should run a vote on that? The return of the Classic Warbonnet, even if it was in freight service only, was BIG Like Earth Quake.

 

 

Personally, felt the old scheme was better than the yellow and blue warbonnet.

 

Doesn't mean I'm right.

Unlike the F units one this was fairly easy for me. 

My top 3 include the Southern Tuxedo 

 

the NC&StL maroon and yellow 

 

and the Central of Georgia one before Frisco caused them to be bought out by the Southern.

For me, it's also the early Geeps, the 7's and 9's. These are by far my favorite locomotives in any paint scheme.
