Re: New White Pass locos in Black paint scheme arrive in Skagway

I kind of hate to admit it, but I sort of like this scheme. It's better than I expected, based on the artist rendering. It's a more modern look then the heritage yellow and green units and the black sort of smooths out the bumps and angles on the very ungraceful car body. I expect the modern look is what the new owners are aiming for. I just hope they keep an assortment of heritage units available.

At least this paint job is way better then the D&S paint scheme on the 1201 and 1202, which looks like something a model railroader would have come up with for a free lanced railroad, or the sort of amateurish paint scheme that a marginal short line might have come up with.
