Favorite Amtrak Paint Job

I’m just curious to know what everyone’s favorite Amtrak Paint Job is, for me is Phase 7 but Phase 4 is a close second

 

I really love the simplicity and the red, white, and blue scheme. Especially the "Pepsi Can" on the B32-8WH and the Genesis P42's/P40's

 

what is
phase1
phase2
phase3
phase4
phase5
phase6
phase7

 

Could we have some images please

 

this is image of phase 1

 

Amtrak paint schemes

 

this??

 

Here are some examples of each of the Amtrak paint schemes, so you folks don't have to Google them yourself (or whatever search engine you happen to be using).
Phase 1:

The main traits of this scheme include the red nose and old logo on the side.

Phase 2:

The red nose is replaced by red and blue lines, which stretch out to the side of the train.

Phase 3:




Phase 3 seems to have a bigger focus on silver. The middle white stripe is made significantly bigger.
.

Here's a modern variant of Phase 3, which is pretty similar to Phase 2, but with the larger white stripe.

Phase 4:

Phase 4 keeps the lighter gray color, and the stripes now consist of a large blue stripe with some smaller red ones.

Here's the Phase 4 heritage locomotive:


Phase 5:



Phase 5 is the most common scheme currently. It's a mostly gray paint scheme with a blue front, and a red stripe on the bottom. As of now, you'll see Phase 5 on P42s and ACS-64s.

Phase 6:

This scheme will be seen on the new ALC-42 locomotives. It's a mostly blue scheme, with a red arrow near the rear and a red front.


A real life image to prove that the ALC-42 is real.

Phase 7:

And this is Phase 7, which will be the modern paint scheme for the ALC-42s. The red front is still there, and the design is still mostly blue. However, some fancy curved white stripes are here, and a darker shade of blue is also added to the design.


For me personally, my favorite is either Phase 4 or Phase 6. I like Phase 4 for the simple gray design, with a mostly blue stripe to let you know that it is an Amtrak train. Phase 6 is also really good, as while it is quite simple, being mostly blue, I like the use of red on the design, especially with the chevron design near the back of the locomotive. It's tough to choose which one I like better.

 

Phase I for me. Love that black/neon-orange nose.

 

They're all pretty bland to my eyes. On phase 7, it bothers me that the swooshes on the train don't follow the curve of the swooshes in the logo. They've missed an opportunity to something really clever with that - I suspect the designer did that originally and it's been watered down by an Amtrak management committee who never understood the concept at all.

 

Phase III, period.....




Though not a big fan of variant used on the AEM-7's and the Turboliners, too much blue....
