Hehehe, Yeah H2 is good. But its sure no Warbonnet!That "Vomet-Bonnet" scheme however....<mike throws up>...is possibly the most awful thing I have seen. It could be better if it had the large BNSF on the hood like H2 locos.>Mike Forster<

RE: article about making trains more beautiful

I think there should be more use of slogans, especially on the cars, along with the better paint jobs. Heritage does look nice, and the return to the UP wings was cool (and "Building America" is a start), but whatever happened to cars emblazoned with "Route of the Zephyrs", "Don't Stand Me Still", and the like? Yeah the beancounters would argue about costs, but by the same token it's advertising the railroad and it shows pride in the service. Which advertises your service better, an antiseptic blue background with the initials "CSX" (which sounds like a stock ticker, not a railroad), or a nice Capitol Dome logo with "Linking 13 Great States with the Nation"?Mr. F
