And a fine looking bridge it is! May I suggest Tichy bridge colors?

Fourth, sorry for going off topic. Maybe the LIRR should buy a few MTA logos from anyone in order to at least make the DM30ACs that don't have them, especially the newly repainted ones, to look presentable and be up to code. Also keep in mind that part of Cuomo's paint scheme includes the MTA logo on the front of the engine, not just the sides.

The new fleet of Low Emission Diesel Locomotives (yet to be ordered but funded) will feature a return to the past with the "wave theme" that was featured on the the GP-38-2's. This time, the scheme will feature the NYS Pantone that we're seeing on the M9's and other MTA fleets.I am aware of this amazing paint scheme! 8D
