Who likes the silver/black scheme they're painted in? I don't. If I had my way they'd be painted in the old IC paint job, the chocolate brown/orange scheme of the 60's. :wink: There, they could have some "heritage units". :wink:

I'd rather see them in black, green, gold and yellow with a great big maple leaf on the nose.....

Yeah well I bet Hunter Harrison and Alan Fleming say the E's should be red/black/white... And while I'm not a fan of that, I wouldn't put it past them.

But I do like chocolate/orange the best. especially with the yellowish/white accent spears of the 1940's.

They used to be in CN green and gold... which was just fine with me. The current red/white/black scheme is atrocious.

I don't mind what paint there in as long as they run.

I personally would like to see them in the Zebra stripe scheme, flashback to 1975!

What color/s are the business cars that accompany the E's? and what were their various origins?

Bring back the Choc and Orange!!
