No one asked you to expose your homophobia. Not everyone who reads this site is straight! (You know, someone in your life is Gay, *** or bisexual, CBQ Guy. I'm not surprised they haven't come out to you. Chances are they find you just as unappealing as you seem to find us.)

The one thing you have to remember is that they are easy for the railroads to maintain. I will agree that the Empire Builder orange/green of BNSF is not the best. I like the Warbonnet with large BNSF letters. Reply stokesda Member sinceMarch 2004 From: San Diego 954 posts Posted by stokesda on Thursday, August 19, 2004 10:00 AM I wouldn't say I hate any color schemes, but my least favorite would probably be: * The funky Kodachrome SP/SF merger. (Actually, this comes pretty close to "hate" [:D]) * Anything solid black just doesn't do it for me. It looks great for steam, but not for diesels. The exception is the old SCL black with white lettering and yellow stripe trim. For some strange reason, this looks cool to me (maybe because of fond childhood memories?) * Speaking of steam, I think anything other than black is a waste of good paint that could otherwise be used on freight cars, tractors, ships, etc. * I agree the grey Family Lines System with red/yellow stripes is pretty ugly. Since I missed out on the "favorite" topic, here are my favorites: * I really dig the BNSF great pumpkin scheme with yellow lettering. I just think it looks really sharp. * The CSX blue/grey/yellow looks pretty good. * I'm not a big fan of Eurotrains, but I think Amtrak's blue and grey Eurotrain scheme is pretty nice. * The UP scheme looks good too, but I agree that it doesn't belong on an F-unit. (Hmmm, all the "big" companies made my list. I guess if you have that much money, you can afford to pay somebody to design it right way [:)]) * On an F-unit, I'd have to say the Rio Grande (ala Royal Gorge Route) is the best. IMO, the warbonnet is a bit overexposed. Don't get me wrong, it's a sharp-looking scheme, but you see it everywhere. It's kind of like Cindy Crawford during the '90's - you thought she was a knockout when she first hit the scene, but after seeing her on the cover of every magazine for 5 years, you stop turning your head when you walk by the newsstand.
