Favorite cab unit paint scheme

  • Tough choice to make! But I'd take the classic Tuscan Red of the Pennsylvania first, followed by the green and yellow of the C&NW. Santa Fe's Warbonnet paint scheme, IMO, isn't overrated--it just stands out in the minds of so many. It's a classic paint scheme from a time forever gone.
  • HELLO SENOR DOUGAL. YOU ARE THE ONE THAT VISITED "HAVE FUN"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...I'M U.P.R.!!! THANKS FOR VISITING MY POLL!!!!
  • 1)SP Black Widow. 2)D&H 3)D&RGW
  • U.P.R., I remember you. I see you joined on Christmas, around the same time I started posting polls (this one was started on December 23rd). Tank, you have the same opinion I have.
  • Western Maryland's "Circus Scheme" (Red, white and black) was one for the ages. I can't think of better colors for a railroad. Western Maryland had a history of fantastic paint schemes. Like that of the "Fireball Fast Freight Line". [swg]
  • Mine would be the New Haven McGinnis scheme.
  • I think the Warbonnet rules!
  • Hey, when you all get done here, there's a really cool discussion going about the return of the E-Unit. One that I have "nothing" to do with.[;)] GN Got my vote, by the way.

    Who comes up with these daffy polls? They forgot the Wabash, Frisco, Illinois Central, GM&O and Nickel Plate, all of which had MUCH classier paint schemes than most of what's above.

    orsonroy, The Illinois Central never owned cab units.
    I voted for everybody's favorite,Santa Fe Warbonnet[:)]!
    Under Southern Pacific,you didn't specify whether you ment Daylight,as on the PAs and E units,or Black widow as on the F units.Daylight Rules[8D]!!!
    Ride Amtrak. Cats Rule, Dogs Drool.
  • I mourned the loss of the CB & Q's color scheme until I noticed that it lived on in the BN scheme if you looked at the negatives. About the time I realized that, along came the BNSF.

    Oh, Well
