Jeff...You are certainly correct about the ATSF U-33C's being in blue/yellow. The Santa Fe did, however, have other GE U Boats in the war bonnet scheme. Maybe the powers that be saw a photo of one of them and got inspired. Who knows.
The ATSF U-28CG's were delivered in red/silver and ran on major name trains. They were numbered in the 350 series. The rather odd looking U-30CG's were, likewise, delivered in red/silver. Those were the U Boats with the car body enclosed in what always looked to me like leftover corrugated metal siding. They were numbered in the 400 series. The U-28CG's and the U-30CG's often operated together. The U-28CG's were renumbered into the 7900 series in 1969 and I was able to photograph the #7902 in Kansas City that year. The U-30CG's even migrated to San Diegan service during 1968-69. While not prototypically correct, I'll bet that a red/silver U-33C would sell well.
