I agree with Tim here - they did a nicely balanced selection of roadnames.
And sorry for those who are grousing about the lack of a DL&W unit, but the
EL paint scheme is the DL&W passenger scheme - seriously! Don't forget, this
is THEIR railroad and they have the right to choose whatever they want to
paint. And it is NOT a public organization that's beholden to the general
population. This railfan "entitlement" attitude is just that. Don't we
already have some beautifully restored and operational DL&W freight scheme
F-units? I know of exactly *NO* accurately restored and operational EL
units.
