What railroads used different paint schemes for freight and passenger locomotives?

The early two-tone green with a yellow stripe separating them (often called the Butterknife or Pine Tree Scheme) and then the Lowery scheme with a different set of greens.

Yes, but it’s “Loewy” scheme, created by French-born industrial designer Raymond Loewy.

[#oops]OK so I can’t type. What else is new?

The PRR had 135 GG1 engines. Two were painted silver for the Congressional limiteds but there was sufficient grease and filth that they were quickly repainted as the silver did not hold up. Five were then painted tuscan red for the two Congressional limiteds and the two senators with one spare.

The Frisco (SLSF) used black and yellow for their freight units, and a bright red color on their passenger E units.

Perhaps stretching the point a little, but there were some railroadsthat in the 1960s began painting their diesels in a simplified paint scheme, eliminating one or more colors or stripes or something, but kept the passenger cars in their original scheme.

Great Northern for example simplified the Pullman green / Omaha orange scheme and eliminated the yellow stripes in between, in their diesel engine scheme, but never changed the passenger cars (well, until they went to Big Sky Blue in the later 1960s).

The ORIGINAL Norfolk & Western paint scheme for freight and passengers was nearly identical but was basic black for freight and Tuscan Red for passnger units. All passenger units were GP-9’s until they leased some RF&P and ACL E-units in 1958. These units remained in original colors but had N&W on the sides replacing the owner’s names.

The Seaboard Air Line had black and later green freight diesels. They used a very pale green for streamlined passenger units.

Illinois Central had black freight units and brown and orange passenger units.

Burlington had black and later red freight units and silver passenger diesels.

Illinois Central also kept the chocolate and orange for passenger diesels/cars until Amtrak took over. That was several years into their orange and white freight paint scheme era, which began in 1966.

Southern Pacific had black and silver, black widow and bloody nose (scarlet and grey) paint schemes for their freight engines. They had the daylight, two tone grey and silver and red paint schemes for their passenger engines.

Add Cotton Belt with four daylight passenger diesels. The other five passenger RS-3s were in black widow paint. Ed in Kentucky
