I would say BNSF but the current paint scheme is awful. I liked the heritage one with the old logo much better. So I'm going with NS.

Always loves the simply brutish badass look of a diesel in NS black.

I believe I prefer KCS red, yellow, and black.

Anything that is NOT painted in the Ugly, Horrendous colors of the Ugly...I mean Union Pacific.

If you are not having fun, you are not doing it right.

That scheme is worn by many a Genessee and Wyoming shortline.

For example, Maryland Midland in similar colors

Also since they cut track maintaince the trains had huge trouble making over the railroad by the end

Yes, I know as a few years ago while looking up the B&PRR website, I saw there was even a line in Australia wearing the same scheme See the video below:

I just like the B&P RR because it is close to my home and uses some eye catching colors! Unlike the black and white N&W...
