Central of Georgia Debut

Man; that is a sweet looking paint scheme!  I'm looking forward to seeing that one in person.

It is pretty. And while that's a dramatic photo, she'll even look better in some natural daylight.

Nice.  The most recent issue of “Classic Trains” magazine had a feature on the Central of Georgia (and the Nancy Hanks),  and that paint scheme really jumped out. Take away the orange and other trim and it looks like the B&O.

Here is a daylight shot...wow!

Mighty nice.

A "Daylight shot"?  Not quite what I expected though.

Lol...okay...okay a shot in the daylight....

Oh be still my beating heart. I knew this would be gorgeous. Man I hope to catch this down here on the C-Line on the front of a coal train.

"The Right Way"

I'm glad they went with the GP, RS scheme rather than the one on the F & E units. Not that I don't like those, it's just I don't think it would've looked as awsome as this does. Plus I think it would've been harder to squeeze all those lines of the f & E unit version on the side of an ES44AC with all its edges.

"The Right Way"

Yeah I agree, it would not have looked right on that blunt nose.  But overall a very nice looking unit.

I know I'm biased to the CofG but this is quickly becoming my favorite loco of all time, CofG or otherwise. This thing is incredibly beautiful.

"The Right Way"

I must say that the colors are very striking, and work very well together.  For me it's all about the N&W and the NKP but I agree that is beautiful.
