WASHINGTON – Amtrak has wrapped a pair of ACS-64 locomotives in Crayola-inspired “Creativity on the Go” schemes in a nod to the iconic crayon manufacturer.
ACS-64 No. 621 wears a violet blue livery that features eight crayon colors that Crayola recently brought out of retirement. No. 620 is wrapped in Crayola’s dandelion, a golden yellow shade.
The locomotives, unveiled today, are part of a summer promotion: Kids ride free on the Auto Train and can take advantage of free admission to Crayola Experience locations.
I like it. Anything to get kids to like trains is okay in my book.
No, John. NO wraps on passenger cars; it’s already hard enough to see out the windows. Whatever incremental revenue is insignificant.
well designed = see out the windows
I must agree. Heritage color schemes on locomotives are one thing, these wraps are another. Some are OK, some are gaudy – enough “art” like some of these wraps is rolling around on sides of freight cars already.
Eye-catching and stylish…

Ingenius, but they need to get more revenue off well designed passenger car wraps.
