Five Favorite Current Liveries
Posted by BNSF4ever on Monday, July 18, 2005 3:40 PM
5. Union Pacific's flag and wings.

4. Trinity Railway Express

3. Norfolk Southern's white face and stallion in the logo

2. Canadian Pacific Railway (proof that history can trump acronyms)

1. Coaster

(What no BNSF? Heritage II is okay but I would have used Lowey two-tone green or Big Sky over the old omaha orange and pullman green)

And yours?

1. South Shore Line freight
2. CSX "dark future", it's not that bad
3. IHB orange
4. Genesee & Wyoming family, especially on bulldog noses
5. MRS Logistica (Brazil)
6. Iowa Interstate
7. Southern Shorthaul (Australia)
8. Antofagasta & Bolivia (Chile)

Actually, I'm quite partial to terminal roads (IHB, BRC, PTRA, A&S, NOPB, etc) but there are some pretty good liveries on line-haul carriers.
The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

I would say CSX,but since they're using borrowed,leased,run through,or stolen power,I have no idea what the current scheme is!

If there are no dogs in heaven,then I want to go where they go.
