Seaboard Paint Schemes
Next up is the standard freight scheme for the era, before they switched to a brighter "Jolly Green Giant" scheme in the 60s.
Information on passenger trains is a little harder to follow, but to my knowledge all early Seaboard passenger diesels were painted in the "citrus" scheme shown here:
At some point (late 50s/early 60s) Seaboard switched to a new passenger diesel scheme shown below. It is described as "pale green" although in every photo I've seen it sure looks white to me:
Not the prettiest paint schemes in the railroad world, but certainly distinctive. I plan to include units with the first three schemes on my layout. I'll take a look at L&N diesels in a future post.

Love those colorful diesels! But you are passing on the pale green? Such possibilities! Oh well, I agree the first one is best.
