Sorry I couldn’t fit all the railroads I was going to put in this poll.[:D]
I voted for other with two choices: Erie Lackawanna maroon, gray and yellow and Genesee & Wyoming orange and black as seen on Australia Southern’s JT26C’s.
I voted for NYC. I loved the classic look, plus I grew up in NY.
Santa Fe Warbonnet F uints - an American Icon
Santa Fe Warbonnet F units - overrated. [:D]
I like them alot (there among my favorites) but there so overrated.
Gulf, Mobile, and Ohio “Alton Route” Maroon and Red.
Also the similar Chciago Great Western scheme.
Although blue is my favorite color, I must admit that I like the Santa Fe’s Warbonnet the best. The Bluebonnet and Yellowbonnet Were pretty good too.
You have to go all the way with the Santa Fe…Warbonnet
Yes, I knew it. When I started this poll I knew that the order would be: 1:Santa Fe 2: Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe, and third, the route of the Super Chief. Go Espee![tup]
Who comes up with these daffy polls? They forgot the Wabash, Frisco, Illinois Central, GM&O and Nickel Plate, all of which had MUCH classier paint schemes than most of what’s above.
To answer question one, you’re talking to someone who remembered to exclude Penn Central. To answer question two, in case you didn’t notice, there are 15 polls, that’s 15, no more, no less. There is a limit to 15 choices. We would have put every scheme we could think of (including Penn Central).
I agree The GM&O & ICG were my favorites Im Oruiginaly from Mosspoint Ms Home Of Mississippi Export RR But I grew up Around GM&O & ICG the Only Other Id vote for would be ATSF Red & Silver Or Red & Yellow SPSF paint scheme
the Navy blue And yellow was good Also I Have A picture Of Santa Fe’s Yellow letter blue background from the early 70’s its very fragile and stays on my wall
The PRR paint scheme for their Baldwin RF/BF 15a and 16a Sharks: Brunswick green, 5 pin stripe, with a PRR Keystone.
I also like the Jersey Central tangerine (orange) and blue F-3s.
Anything Great Northern
I also love the Santa Fe warbonnet and The blue great Northern scheme, but lest we forget the beautiful RIO GRANDE single stripe deep yellow and silver…thats my vote
Tough choice to make! But I’d take the classic Tuscan Red of the Pennsylvania first, followed by the green and yellow of the C&NW. Santa Fe’s Warbonnet paint scheme, IMO, isn’t overrated–it just stands out in the minds of so many. It’s a classic paint scheme from a time forever gone.
HELLO SENOR DOUGAL. YOU ARE THE ONE THAT VISITED “HAVE FUN”!!!..I’M U.P.R.!!! THANKS FOR VISITING MY POLL!!!
1)SP Black Widow. 2)D&H 3)D&RGW
U.P.R., I remember you. I see you joined on Christmas, around the same time I started posting polls (this one was started on December 23rd). Tank, you have the same opinion I have.
Western Maryland’s “Circus Scheme” (Red, white and black) was one for the ages. I can’t think of better colors for a railroad. Western Maryland had a history of fantastic paint schemes. Like that of the “Fireball Fast Freight Line”. [swg]
