Two flavors of Southern Pacific Railroad passenger train color schemes., a photo by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.
In recent times, I have become a fan of the former Southern Pacific Railroad passenger trains from pre Amtrak times.
The Southern Pacific, had utilized a small variety of color schemes on their passenger train cars. Colors ranging from dark Pulman green, to two tone gray, and the ever popular Daylight red, orange and black color scheme made for a colorful era of passenger train travel on America's west coast.
The car to the left, is wearing the famous S.P Daylight color scheme, while the car to the right...is wearing the stylish two tone gray used on the Southern Pacific "Lark" passenger train.
