BNSF NS merger paint scheme

[Limitedclear]

The color scheme will be simple. Black, with FRA mandated reflective material and the new name "Norfolk Pacific"

I think the blackbird would make for a perfect merger paint scheme between these two roads, combining NS's fondess for black and the heritage of one of BNSF's predecessor flags, the CB&Q.

The Burlington Route's blackbird scheme is a classic. I'd give anything to see the BNSF paint one of their most recently acquired locomotives in that scheme, similar to what the U.P. has been doing. I question whether or not such a merger would ever take place between the BNSF and NS, but still, it's a pretty nice idea.

Oh the hell with that. Just bring bact the old Burlington Grey,Red and White scheme back. Burlington was way better.
