Well, if we're going to continue down this thread of bias opinions of
how to paint cars in order to cause accidents.... While we're
beating PAT to death for the army camouflage car, let us not forget.....
One of my favorites was the initial San Francisco Municipal Railway
livery. Nothing quite beats gray paint in a city noted for its
summer blankets of fog. I'm not quite sure that the Market Street
Railway white front cars were a whole lot better. Sorry Jim.
solid cream that British Columbia Electric used in the 1950s was not
good either.
And think of all those push-pull trains running around with bland
colors on the cab cars. The corporate mindset has long since
forgotten through attrition the need we once had to put zebra stripes
on motor cars.
