Gulf, Mobile, and Ohio "Alton Route" Maroon and Red.

Also the similar Chciago Great Western scheme.

Although blue is my favorite color, I must admit that I like the Santa Fe's Warbonnet the best. The Bluebonnet and Yellowbonnet Were pretty good too.

Yes, I knew it. When I started this poll I knew that the order would be: 1:Santa Fe 2: Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe, and third, the route of the Super Chief. Go Espee![tup]

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.

To answer question one, you're talking to someone who remembered to exclude Penn Central. To answer question two, in case you didn't notice, there are 15 polls, that's 15, no more, no less. There is a limit to 15 choices. We would have put every scheme we could think of (including Penn Central).
