Not to start a flame war, but why are locomotives getting green paint jobs?

I realize that there was a time period when that was how they really were painted. But what is the reason to repaint these locomotives in a green paint scheme now?

Again, not trying to start a flame war, just curious. I actually like the paint scheme on a K-28. Not to sure about the 346 - but it is great to see the locomotive restored.

Does anyone know why this trend, if it is a trend, has started?
