Amtrak, working with the Washington State Department of Transportation, came up with a nice looking paint scheme for this AIRO train set that will run in the Cascades. The green scheme, with the Mt Rainier stamps, looks very nice. Here, the train set is back toward BNSF's 31st Yard so it can depart south on the Joint Line.

I've read elsewhere that the mountains in the logo are Mt. Rainier and Mt. Hood. The summit of Mt. Rainier is more rounded. The profile on these cars looks similar to Mt. Hood from Lost Lake.
