For me, Amtrak's Phase 3 scheme, which dominated through the 1980s and early 1990s on the F40PHs, is my favorite of all of Amtrak's paint scheme. The new Phase 7 scheme has become second place for me. Phase 7 unseated the original Phase 1 scheme from second place. I always enjoyed the Pointless Arrow in particular. Which scheme was your favorite? Leave a comment and let everyone know! AMTK 161, the Phase 1 Heritage unit, leads the westbound Zephyr on a very pleasant April morning.

I'm gonna rank them as  
1) Phase I Heritage (as on this unit and 156);  
2)Phase 7;  
3) Phase 5a (Shamu with the high sill stripes).
