The "stripe" style paint schemes would be used on AMTRAK PAINT SCHEMES Amtrak for many more years. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Phase II Amtrak paint schemes or "Phases" (referred to by Amtrak), are a series of livery applied to the outside of their rolling stock in the United States. The livery phases appeared as different designs, with a majority using a red, white, and blue (the colors of the American flag) format, except for promotional trains, state partnership routes, and the Acela "splotches" phase. The first Amtrak Phases started to emerge around 1972, shortly after Amtrak's formation. Phase paint schemes Phase I F40PH in Phase II Livery Phase II was one of the first paint schemes of Amtrak to use entirely the "stripe" style.

  • The Long Island Railroad Milk Car Mystery SOLVED WALTER WOHLEKING
    The Long Island Railroad Milk Car Mystery SOLVED WALTER WOHLEKING Standard Steel Car Co. builder’s photo from the D. K. Retterer Collection TWO YEARS AGO, the Summer, 2007 issue of the Cannon Ball displayed this picture beneath the heading, “Know anything about this oddball?” A lot has been discovered since then, and the way in which the information was gained is a lesson in railroad research that might encourage others to learn about their favorite cars. Since the author of this article also placed the picture, its heading and its caption in that 2007 Cannon Ball, thus stirring the pot, it’s only appropriate that he be responsible for getting to the bottom of things. The story of how that came about and the contributions generously made by members of the model railroading community provides a lesson in railroad research. The knowledge gained allows a pretty good picture to be painted of the car’s origin, character- istics, length of service, and other useful things. Happily, there is a solid means of creating a very accurate model of the prototype. Here, then, is the story. The original caption under the photo referred to car #3000 as a “mystery milk car” and read, “Long Island Railroad milk car no. 3000 appears to be a reefer with the distinctive fishbelly underframe found on many cars built in the first decade of the 20th cen- tury. But is it a reefer assigned to milk service, or does it have some of the special characteristics associated with cars designed par- ticularly for milk service? ...Email or write the editor, if you have any information...” While that caption was constructive, in that it solicited information that generated responses, at least some of it might have been confusing.

COVER- A pair of TTC H5 subway cars were appropriately decorated for the official opening of the Bloor-Danforth Subway extensions, on Friday, Nov. 21, 1980. —TTC photos by Ted Wickson QUOTE OF THE MONTH- (Extracts from an editorial in the Toronto Star of November 5, chosen by the Newsletter particularly to mark the completion of the Kennedy and Kipling extensions): "In the past two years the politicians... have ducked the hard decision about investing in the TTC as a force that could determine the future development of Metro—the fastest, — most convenient form of public transit is the kind that runs on fixed rail such as the subway or LRT—Even in the fitful economy of the '80's, a new transit line can have a stimulating effect. Metro needs more of them. The next obvious one is an east-west line along Eglinton, Sheppard or Finch Avenues—If politicians show a bit of nerve and build fixed rail transit into thinly populated areas, experience has shown these soon become thickly populated areas.
