The most beautiful gg1 ever!!!!

I was at 30th street station in 1976 in Philadelphia when this was first shown. I even asked the representatives if there were gonna be passenger cars painted in the same scheme. They were thinking about it but they never were. Probably a good thing, could you imagine a entire train in that color.
I loved the engine and saw it many times when it was running but I was in the minority thinking the scheme was beautiful. I even have a ho model of it.
