Our Legendary Liveries series seeks to explore the “what if” questions that some folks like to indulge in. In the early 1960’s GE sent their U25B’s out on demonstration tours around the country in their attractive red and white paint scheme. So, we wondered what if they had done the same thing with the U50? We think that the scheme looks rather striking on this massive beast of a locomotive. So, is your railroad interested in maybe jumping into the horsepower race?
