Winner and still champion: Providence & Worcester! For a thankfully gone non-classic,I present the Kansas City Southern’s almost white with a road number so tiny, you had to use binoculars to read them.(even less than 50’ away!) In the no imagination required division, Florida East Coast, which “borrowed” UP’s Armour Yellow.
UP.

I agree. And, no, I have no idea why the old GN scheme worked and the BNSF doesn’t work for me.
[:0] that scheme is my favourite!
Penn Central teal
Southern Pacific Popsicle
SP kodachrome
GNs green-and-orange scheme is without question the worlds worst paint scheme.
BNSF with out a doubt. I miss the Red and Silver Warbonnet. As far as the best my shout goes out to the shortline Maryland and Delaware RR, but then again I might be a little biased since I live in the first state.
Conrail’s first paint scheme on ex Penn Central units.Solid black with a tiny CR on the nose[xx(].
Let’s see,
GN Big Sky Blue
BNSF Nike Swoosh
SPSF Kodachrome
CNW Freight Scheme on the F units
BLECH!!!
Penn Central is the worse in my mind. Or the FEC in Armour Yellow.
In my opinion, the worst appearing color scheme is Union Pacific’s original
streamliner colors-as appeared on the old M-10000, M-10001, etc. And also
was applied to the ir streamlined steam locos as well. This is the old
Armour Yellow and Dirt Brown scheme. what a terrible combination.
Reminds one of rolling f---- --------( I won’t say it, but it stinks). Just my opinion.
- Any steam engine -->Black or painted!
- Milwaukee Road
- Any patched unit (read CNW paint w/UP numbering!)
- From my beloved CNW ([:0]) -->faded Zito Yellow
Another bad one was the Transcisco Tours F45s

Easy killer. To each his own.
To whom are you referring?
The poster who’s name begins with the last letter of the alphabet. Dude was yellin, all caps. The posts were deleted, so I guess disregard mine also.
Santa Fe “Warbonnets” , BNSF Heritage II, BNSF “swoosh”. Best= Penn Central.
