I grew up in Chicago Illinois during the 1960s and 70s era. One of my all time favorite railroad color schemes I grew up with on the near southwest side of Chicago, was the orange and white Illinois Central Railroad New Image color scheme that was introduced by the I.C in 1967. It was attractive and - quite striking when introduced by the Illinois Central, but did not weather well in the long run. I model the early 1970s era Illinois Central Gulf in H.O Scale. Just like when the I.C and the former Gulf, Mobile & Ohio Railroads had merged in 1972, I have equipment decorated for both railroads.
