Re: Amtrak announces 50th anniversary Heritage Units
Everyone seems to be raving about the Midnight Blue scheme... I think it's the worst out of the lot. I'm digging the Day 1 scheme.

Personally I love the day 1 and the Pepsi can. I wish day 1 would be the standard.. phase 6 and the “7” concept are meh.. midnight blue I agree is meh. Phase 6 on the P42 is not great but maybe better than phase 5. I wish the Midwest scheme would go away but were probably stuck with that.

Midnight Blue is the best of the bunch, along with the Dash 8 Phase III.

Only issue I see is that these may only last 5-10 years before being scrapped as the new Chargers show up.
Pepsi Can and Day 1 are my favorites of the bunch for sure, with Midnight Blue close behind

That’s plenty for a special paint scheme, especially one celebrating a specific milestone.Saturnalia wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 11:11 amOnly issue I see is that these may only last 5-10 years before being scrapped as the new Chargers show up.
