For the Amtrak Dash 8s does anyone know on what was the last Amtrak Dash 8 to be repainted from the Amtrak Pepsi Can scheme (Phase III) to Phase IV? I think it was 518, but I could be wrong.
Wow! What an obscure question! Me? Dunno! Were they the same locos as Metro-North used in New Jersey, or were those Dash 7s? Saw one, maybe ten years ago, in a BN/BNSF freight lash-up here in Montana. Even got a picture! Long way from home, it was.
The Amtrak Dash 8s are not the ones used by Metro North in New Jersey. For that picture please post is ASAP because I would like to see it.
News Flash!!! With Warren Buffett’s takeover of BNSF, all new, and newly-shopped units, will be painted as “Coca-Cola” cans. The BNSF herald and lightning bolt logo are out, being replaced by a GEICO “Gekko” on the nose, with sunglasses, in deference to our western weather. “NetJets” ads will be placed, conspicuously, on the sides of the locos, along with M&M-Mars ads. Damaged units will be covered with J&J’s “Band Aids”. More, shortly, as corporate decisions are made…
I had heard that Warren Buffet [bow]was goingh to allow Cort Furniture Rental to redecorate the BNSF locomotive cabs, and each Engineer[C):-)] and Conductor[4:-)] was going to be sent to Nebraska Furniture to pick out a La-z-boy recliner for his seat![^][:D]
