[QUOTE]Originally posted by windowseatplease: [QB] If it wasn't for the pointless arrow I wouldn't have a passion for trains any other way- A simple symbol that fascinates me for life. But I think thats what they tried to do for the Acela symbol, keep it simple but affectionate, and it never met that mark. Why? In my opinion the right color adds to poetry, just like a cherry is red, lime is green, and Dell computers are black. But no one sees the poetic symbol or color of Acela. When I came home from a tour in Europe for two years straight and saw the Amtak Phase V, dahuuuh? So I tried to figure it out. After staring at it for a little bit, I think the smybol is three tracks going off to the distance. The wavyness symbolizes flexibility, anyplace, high or low. The color is a neutral color, no ones favorite color(obviously) because anyone is welcome to take the train(if you can afford it). Also, its the trains' force protection color, times have changed. But I still think the AEM7's should have a large Acela Amtrak symbol with gold trim labeled 'Acel Regional' on the sides. Would you like butter and jelly with that? [/QB][/QUOTE]
