While unusual, I always liked the "meatball" paint scheme.  Nice to see it brought back.

Oh, hell yeah!  That was by far the best AEM7 scheme, and it works fantastically on an ACS64.  Now, Amtrak, go paint the rest of the fleet like that.

Can't say that I'm impressed by the looks of today's electrics, but given what they had to work with, the scheme looks quite good on it.  And it should work on other locos as well, since there's no attempt to get artistic with curves etc, so I'll second Davefoxx:  paint the rest of the fleet that way.

I feel the same way. The front of this one reminds me of an angry ancient Chinese warrior face.

Agreed!

I liked the final scheme too, but this one was "fun".
