    For visibility reasons, Daylight would rank high on the list, Black Widow would be sweet, but not likely.
    A sunset herald would rock, as would a bloody nose...

    How about a combination of the daylight, black widow and kodakrome paint schemes? [​IMG]

    With several unpatched AC4400Ws still on the system, I would vote against a bloody nose scheme. However, I could get excited over a Daylight-painted diesel real easy........

    its true that they are building them with the special paint schemes and they are going to be SD70 AC's the first two are the Missouri Pacific numbered as the UP 1982 and then next will be the Western Pacific numbered UP 1983. I have proof in the the form of pictures of these first two locos but I am not sure have to post the pictures with my reply

    I can't wait to see the SP scheme. Hopefully they don't mess it up.

    Well, you know they'll use some 17 y/o computer geek that has never even SEEN a locomotive in person to design the CNW and SP schemes!LOL!
