    Unpopular opinion: CSX YN2 only looked good fresh. It was quickly ruined by weathering and exhaust stains. YN3 is superior because it holds up better over time and resembles the C&O paint scheme of the 1960s. I agree, the removal of the "Boxcar" was silly. I thought it was genius marketing.

    Hard disagree on Phase 7. The silver was definitely looking very tired at this point, and it's good to see Amtrak going with more actual colors. And eventually, the cars are supposed to get Phase 7 as well, so you won't have that mismatch forever.

    CSX YN2 is probably my favorite because of it's uniqueness. Like someone said in another comment, yeah over time, sun bleaching and weathering did kinda ruin it. But once all YN2s are repainted and there's none left, you'll wish that you didn't take it for granted.

  • @MasterOfTruck
    @MasterOfTruck 2 месяца назад +11

    alright, TO BE FAIR, the tiger stripe paint scheme for BN was entirely experimental, which was why only a few gp50's (and 1 single sd60) actually wore it. for the nerds; the issue BN was facing in the 80's was that in some of the areas they operated in was seeing an increased number of accidents reportedly due to low visibility of their locomotives. because being painted cascade green, they simply blended into their surroundings a little _too_ well. a safety campaign was launched to figure out how to increase locomotive visibility, and several experimental paint schemes were designed and tested. the tiger stripes scheme was never meant to look good. it was intentionally designed to clash hard with the existing locomotive colors so it would be easier to identify based on pattern recognition. however, the campaign concluded the tiger stripes scheme wasnt actually helpful as the number of accidents relatively remained the same in the areas they were tested. but the paint scheme that WAS successful on the other hand was the white face, which saw a significant decrease in those areas. so for the short remaining time period BN operated up until the merger, all newly acquired/painted locomotives would receive the white face.

    • @MasterOfTruck
      @MasterOfTruck 2 месяца назад

      I'm a huge BN stan and I just kinda don't. It's different so I can still appreciate it as-is however I don't personally like it as I feel it wasn't applied in a way to make it look good (which it wasn't, it was strictly meant to be high visibility). If they restricted the orange to just the nose and did V pattern stripes then I'd feel like it look much better. The largest glaring issue with the tiger stripes was that they also painted the entire cab face, which felt unnecessary.

      My only real problem with CPKC (aside from their name) is that their livery feels backwards. The angle up is towards the front on the conceptually-similar CSX YN2 and CN “hockey sticks” schemes, but at the back end on CPKC. Maybe it would have been too similar to the CN one if they had done it towards the front, but it still feels odd how it is.

    BN Tiger Stripe scheme is actually one of my favorites, mainly because i love schemes that have the full railroad name spelled out along the side, and the new Amtrak Phase VII Scheme is the best scheme since Phase III, the chargers themselves is whats horrendus. That new scheme looks really good on the P42s and now the standard cab geeps. Id like to see that scheme on a F40PH.
    Im a die hard CSX fan and i confidently say plain jane grey ghost, before adding the yn1 nose, is one of the worst schemes ever. The best version of it was the one that had "CSX Transportation" along the side.

    I worked for Amtrak and CSX, so I think I have some standing here. Of the CSX schemes, I liked the YN2 best, and I thought the yellow highlighted letters on the AC 6000s was well done. The YN2 paint on the only SD80MAC to get it, #801, was just dramatic, especially the O-scale model of it. I understand why they simplified it for cost, which is why the Chessie System paint scheme disappeared as soon as the merger happened, it was a very expensive paint job to apply for the time, like $7,000 per unit in 1984 dollars, but it looked great when they were freshly done. There was something to be said for the 1960s B&O and C&O basic dark blue with yellow lettering and accent stripes or yellow nose (C&O), simple but well-done for a marginal road that was always looking to economize on expenses.
    As for Amtrak, my all-time fav is the equal stripes Phase III. I think the new Phase VII scheme may be the best one since Phase III. And BTW, the Chargers are nowhere near as ugly as the GE Genesis units, no matter what color they were painted (I am partial to the F40PH "screamers", since they were what I worked around most of my career there). To most of us older fans, nothing is going to beat the 1950s EMD "Bulldog" nosed Es and Fs, but time marches on.
    Oh, and my take on the CPKC scheme is that the font for the lettering makes it look like something out of the Soviet era.

    We grew up in the wrong decade. The years before before all the various railroads merge and there was so much color and variety on the rails would've been quite the time to experience.

    One of the worst paint schemes that comes to mind is BNSF's infamous Vomitbonnet. For the CPKC scheme, they should've gone with either options 3 or 5 when they first proposed them. I sometimes forget both CP and KCS merged last year.

    I am just not a fan of any of CSX's paint schemes, all the way back to Family Lines mess. Especially their heritage units! They only painted the hoods and left the cab in that horrible blue / yellow. Ruined the whole effect! I'm sure glad they didn't do one of "my" railroad!
    NS did such a nice job on theirs! That Pennsy unit in maroon with gold stripes! The NYC with the lightning stripes! The Erie unit! All of them.
    I don't like CN's paint. Should have stayed with the green and gold that used to be on CN / CV / GT / GTW.
    CP also should have not introduced the red mess. Have you seen their heritage unit? Absolutely stunning!
    I miss the old paint schemes. SP's black widow, ACL's purple, SAL's pale green, Southern's beautiful dark green and white, D&H's blue and silver, B&M's maroon and gold,, Rock Island's red and black, NP's butter knife, NYC's lightning stripe, IC's brown and orange and many more.
    Of course this is my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions. 🙂
    I wonder what BNSF could do with a warbonnet style with their orange and green.

  • @TheOklahomaHotrail

    So, the reason they are going back to the old scheme is because when the locomotives started having issues and burning up the flag, they really did not like that. So they put the flag on the nose. And personally, I wish they left the wings on the front

    For me, I rather call the Amtrak Phase 4 paint scheme "the worst paint scheme" if Amtrak doesn't give the Genesis unit a 1993's Phase III heritage colors like when it was built (I'm not talking about the 2011 heritage paint)! Amtrak gave the Phase 4 colors to Genesis unit 164 after 184 has been repainted into Phase 5, but Amtrak isn't interested in repaint one of their Genesis unit into a new built Phase III colors.
