Isnt this almost like some of the old C&O designs?

Yes, that is what I thought when I first saw the new scheme. The shade of the colors is different, but still close enough to see the similarities!

I get a kick out the "new" scheme - takes me back to the late 1960's - early 1970's when it was a treat to see the C&O units in the yellow nose scheme rolling through Garrett, Indiana on the old B&O Chicago division. We pretty much have come full circle.

Hmm, if thats true, does that mean in 20 years we might be treated to vermillion, blue and yellow again? Call me crazy, but I just loved the Chessie scheme.
