I too cannot wait to see all of the past paint scheems... I especially cant wait to see the Phase Three scheem. I think that scheem looked great on the P40`s.

Yup. Agree. Really want to see the "bloody nose/pointless arrow" scheme on one. Also agree that the "Shamu" scheme is really pretty lousy - it fights the styling contours of the carbody instead of accenting them, much like the Acela-blob passenger car scheme. Passenger trains have long straight lines and the paint scheme should accentuate them (IMHO).

I just saw the first photos of Amtrak "Genesis" unit number 145 and I understand Amtrak plans on applying each of their earlier paint schemes to one of current fleet of units for a total of 5 (???). So far I must say I like the scheme applied to number 145 MUCH BETTER than the "current" scheme applied new to the units from the GE factory. Can't wait to see what the 'bloody nose" Phase I scheme that was applied to the SDP40F units looks like on a Genesis unit. Any other comments?
