1. The Rock Island Line '70's red and yellow diesel loco's
2. Their blue and white late '70's "The Rock" was pretty cool, too.
3. BNSF mid/late '90's loco's

My favorite paint scheme is Union Pacific #3300's red white & blue scheme. My least favorite paint scheme is the EJ&E's 750, 751, and 752.

BNSF baby they may have changed the colors of the warbonnet but it still looks nice.
Uncle Pete waving "Old Glory" sure looks nice too.

The two tone UP paint scheme looks great, and the IC business train colors (gray & black)

I guess I am partial to the Union Pacific's coloring, because when you approach it at night, the lining around it and the American Flag, all seem to glow in the dark.

No contemporary paint scheme is better than the orange/black BNSF variation on the Warbonnet. My 7-year old son and I keep watching the CSX tracks here at home on Saturday mornings, just so he can get his first picture of one. He thinks it is so cool we watch for it on the Rochelle webcam. I never seem to have the camera at the right time during the week (running around town while on the job), and have missed at least three photo op's in the last year.
Favorite steam colors were the red/orange/black of the SP Daylight, a Lima native.
I did think of another newer scheme that I really like: the red/dark red of the Indiana & Ohio a few years back, with the big white lettering, was really sharp out of the paint shop. They've gone cheap with the lettering more recently, but the base colors still look good. CF&E has a couple engines running around town with a similar fresh coat that just begs for lettering.

I will always love and remember the paint scheme C&NW had on its C44-9Ws and AC4400CWs the most. These days since I really don't see the C&NW anymore I've become a UP fan and a C&NW fan. At first I didn't really like the UP as I'm sure a lot of us fans who have had our favorite railroads taken over don't like the buyer for a while. Now since I've gotten over it I'll say I like the scheme on the UP locos with the lighting bolt too. It reminds me of that old C&NW scheme.

Just back from Iraq,
gotta go with the New Haven's Orange, blue, and white

In my case it's a tie between the "Cascade Green" of BN and Montana Rail Links blue paint scheme.
