The best PA paint job was the Delaware & Hudson no other paint scheme compared, also these locomotives had style and class including the Shark Nose, F units E units and of course the GG1,s. not like the locomotives now a days, they all look like a rectangled box nothing special very boring Just BLA. the old style was the best!!!
