[#ditto][#ditto]The Chessie scheme has got to be the best of
ALL TIME!! I mean, after all, WHO doesn’t love a kitty cat?!?!
SCL had a Spirit of 76 paint job in Red, White and Blue if memory serves me and Southern had a return to its roots on the Cresent Limited with the Southern Green and Gold.
.
the early Amtrak paint schemes were colorful with the wide red white and blue bands around the locomotives. Also, the Teal/Aqua Penn Central paint was different.
Besides ‘my’ all time favorite (C & O Enchantment Blue & yellow)
“CHESSIE” has GOT to be the best!!! (Here;Kitty,Kitty!!)

Chessie…hands down…bright and distinctive with the Ches-C being truly unique.
Chessie followed by the rock blue.are favorites.and i dont know if this counts as a paint scheme but,Railbox boxcars.I think railbox started in the 70’s right?
always loved the Railbox boxcars-- original scheme
Not many will agree but the Rocks Bankrupcy Blue was a nice paint job when it was clean. The Katy’s John deere green paint job was a neat one. Long live the rock!
Another vote for Chessie. Still see it once in a while on steel coil cars.
I’ll cast my vote for NJ Transit, platinum mist body, black roof and multi-color diagonals on the flanks.
