Surprised no one has posted the one that started it all. The original G&W terminated just a few miles south of what is now Rochester and Southern.
Rochester & Southern was originally The Buffalo, Rochester, and Pittsburgh, then B&O in 1931.
There are usually a couple of these in the R&S yard.

One of the things about the world of real trains that's intrigued me is the number of railroads out there that use this identical color scheme and graphic design -- the orange & black that is seen here by the Buffalo & Pittsburgh. There doesn't , to me at least, seem to be any common denominator. These railroads are not all owned by the same conglomerate, to the best of my knowledge. I've even seen this design, if I remember right, on an overseas railroad or two. What's going on here? Are these RR's all part of some kind of co-op or something?
How many different road names are there with this look? How about you post a picture...let's see how many different road names we can show with this same graphic design!
I'll start with the aforementioned B&P.

Louisiana & Delta is a part of this system too!Athearn made a L&D CF7 in HO scale, would be nice in O scale.

I would buy that in O gauge.
The Chicago, South Shore and South Bend freight division has diesel locomotives, cabooses, and coil cars using orange with black graphics.

Illinois Midland. It was once known as the Chicago & Illinois Midland.
Operating from Springfield, IL to Taylorsville and Pekin, IL.
The C&IM had classy looking green scheme and also the only two EMD RS1325s. Dan

Yet another Genesee and Wyoming line is the Dallas Garland & Northeastern (DGNO), which operates in this area. Here's one of their new Genset engines. They also own the Texas Northeastern RR in this area. G & W runs something like 63 railroads in 6 countries, according to their website.
It really is a good color scheme. How could anyone claim they didn't see it coming at a grade crossing?
Today: the power off the Toledo Hauler is backing into the service tracks at Albany, Oregon. Union Pacific main track at right.
3 - GP39-2's, 2 - GP40-2's and a road slug on Portland & Western.
