One of the more popular American diesel locomotive color schemes from the 1950's era, was the light gray (Almost white.) color scheme used on the EMD model FT, F3 and F 7 EMD cab unit freight service diesel locomotives used by the former Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad.

This color scheme was a daily sight heading up some of the Burlington's early diesel powered mainline freight trains through out the 1950's and 60's era.
