whats your fav color train engine
Green – I loved the old Burlington Northern Green.
Reading & Northern green and Conrail blue.
Black. The color of most steam locomotives!
What happened to RED? CP all the way!
How about maroon?

White, for the CB&Q’s F units, but they had red pinstripes around them, so I’ll have to say Red and White.
I’m with Aggro. BLACK. Like the color of steam engines, coal, oil, ash (okay, so it’s gray), grease, freshly creosoted ties (close enough to call it black), did I mention steam locomotives…
Colors?? We don’t need no stinking colors!!!
Black with white.
Acela Express silver
Black and yellow. Like Clinchfield or SCL.
Black and white. Like Southern or N&W

BLACK! for Black Sabbath! (thats not really the reason)

They’re not white, they’re gray.
Why do ya think they’re called “Graybacks”? [;)]
Chessie was never my favorite but one sunny day in the late 70’s(?) a FRESHLEY painted B23 rolled by pulling a worktrain, that was the best looking engine I’ve ever seen.
And while I hated them while growing up, PC and NW black now hold a special place in my heart.
Sorry , I couldn’t vote since there wasn’t a check-box for Harvest Gold and Pine Green
Oh, come on, it’s at least whitish-gray![;)]
How about red, black, gray, and yellow, which all went into the “Blackbird” scheme?
Really? I thought they were white. Ya learn somthin’ new every day…
