Really? I always liked the blackbird scheme much better than the Chinese Red. While I credit the Q with being the best run railroad in the country and being the caldrin for USA railroad management throughout the 20th century, I never gave them too much credit for their imagination with paint schemes. Grey back F units, plain old stainless steel Es, and what was up with that nasty gold painted Hudson?
Perhaps that should be a new thread of its own. Name that railroad type thing. The problem with those types of threads is that the internet has made it too easy to answer. So either someone has an answer in 10 seconds or the questions are so hard it takes days to research out. BTW - Minneapolis, Northfield and Southern.
