The DL&W scheme was designed by EMD - it's a standard variant of their
catalog of paint schemes for cab units.

	All...

	 

	Yeah, but didn't the EMD styling department come up with a whole
bunch of paint schemes to try to sell their new locomotives to the
various railroads?  What was the origin of the DL&W "passenger" scheme?
Did the railroad dream it up by itself, or with the help of EMD, or did
the DL&W just adopt one of EMD's schemes as their own?  If the DL&W had
help from EMD's styling department, then it would be a likely
explanation of how the Algoma Central ended up with a nearly identical
paint scheme.  After all, if you look at a lot of F-unit paint schemes
from the different railroads, there are similarities among them.
