Carve this in stone.

Bring back popular names as their corporate image. "Monon", "Nickel Plate", and honestly, even "Santa Fe" fits that sweet spot.

Yup, and that orange comes (and green) comes from the Great Northern, so it feels to me that even BNSF doesn't want to be BNSF.

I love how China only knows how to make metro trains and high speed trains, which is how you get commuter trains that look like this:

That's the problem they don't have anything of their own. BN's cascade green was distinct from its predecessors. They don't have anything original. BNSF has no identity of its own.

any of you fw this?

Really can't stop loving early Amtrak rainbow era consists 🌈

While it's nice to see a passenger train in matching paint, there's something so appealing about seeing a mixture of passenger rolling stock all together to just "make it work" in the early days of Amtrak

Just look at this. Just look.

Just make it all stop. All of it. Enough is enough.

i miss optimism for the world.

TFW you managed to get your poorly disguised fetish funded by the multinational corporation.

Last I knew, there is a Radio Shack in New Holland, PA. It was a franchise and the owners just keep using the name despite the company being gone.

CPKC is one of the dumbest names of all time. Just let KCS be a CP subsidiary like D&H and Soo. I voted against the name change because it's just so dumb sounding.

I never realized just how much I hate BNSF until now...

It's part of the reason why it's so hard to believe that Santa Fe and BN are gone despite it having been 30 years ago. BNSF is nothing. It's a random jumble of letters that means nothing to the average person. It has no image of its own either. It means nothing, it stands for nothing.

I'm not going to pick a specific paint scheme, but just going to go with BNSF as an entire brand. The name is stupid, all of the liveries are just half-assed GN rehashes. It's a railroad with absolutely no sense of identity.

CRANDIC's red and yellow livery is too iconic to even consider replacing.

Good taste and American patriotism, mutually exclusive since 2001!

I also have to disagree with the inclusion of Soo Line Candy Apple Red.
