Yeah it really sits well on mk2s. Sadly we now have stupid regulations which mean the doors have to be a contrasting colour. If you can't see where the doors are without them being a different colour how could you even make it to the station without getting run over?

Not sure about officially but unofficially it's called the "hockey stick" scheme. It was Burlington Route's last scheme before the merger into BN in 1970 and was almost the scheme for the newly merged line but they decided to remove the white. Only a few locomotives received the hockey stick paint and most were repainted within a few years. Also the original BN paint was more lime-greenish than later paint jobs.

The station in that pic was actually the terminus for an interurban from Slidell to Covington (if you count gas doodlebugs as interurbans) that ran until the 1970s. It's rather surprising it lasted that long, as the biggest city on that line is only 50k people.

It was a GM&O branch line that connected to their main line, the former New Orleans & Northeastern, from New Orleans to Jackson.
The right of way was built and paid for to get lumber from the north shore to Hammond and the paper mill at Bogalusa, but ran passenger service well after logging stopped.

Southern ran trains along the main line, but didn't actually own it, I think, until GM&O merged with the Illinois Central. That was in the 70s, so I'm assuming that's when and why the Covington branch was abandoned.

The Northshore line did at one point run all the way to the IC's mainline in Hammond, but was abandoned I think in the 1950s. IIRC the line west of Covington was a privately owned logging railroad that saw occasional through traffic as a shortcut above Lake Pontchartrain.

I'm trying to find where I got these pictures because it had a more concise history of all these little short lines.

I don't know shit about trains... What are these kind of trains called? They look way cooler than the blocky style trains I see around nowdays.

Those are all cab-body "F unit" type trains (except for the European ones mixed in). Mostly EMD F3 and F7 models. They were used roughly equally in freight and passenger service (special passenger models with steam generators also existed like the FP7).

They are structurally identical to the German V300 (later Baureihe 230).

Both black speedlettering and red white and black are the best for me

Personal favorite is the Lehigh Valley Railroad livery.

Looks classical but futuristic at the same time. I envy the Japanese.

Bombardier bi level, seems like the standard for US commuter rails. Here's my local livery.

"1488" is a white supremacist mantra, essential /pol/ meme.
