>>1530939>Crazy fucking idea: Rainbow Era Heritage Units.>Imagine seeing an ALC-42 flying by in Santa Fe Warbonnet, New York Central Lightning Bolt, Southern Pacific Daylight, or Great Northern Big Sky Blue liveries. Get Beech Grove Works on THAT shit when these get hereIt would look fucking gay unless they had the rolling stock to go along with it. Frankly that's something I've wanted for a long time actually. Have a subset of routes that are successors to famous pre-Amtrak routes (California Zephyr, Super Chief, Empire Builder, Broadway Limited, 20th Century Limited, Panama Limited, revived Coast Daylight, etc.) that have their own dedicated sets of locomotives and rolling stock painted in the colors of their predecessors. The literally who routes that no one cares about can continue using the standard red, white, and blue paint scheme but the premiere ones get special treatment.
>inb4 b-but rolling stock and locomotives are meant to be interchangeable Amtrak California already has three trains using two separate paint schemes, it's not that hard to do.
