At the risk of being branded a troublemaker, I would like to revisit the colors used on the passenger and freight F3’s. Most of us grew up thinking they were IU and Purdue colors but others, with good logic, have said the colors belong to Wabash College and DePauw University owing to their longstanding football rivalry at the Monon Bell. The problem I have with this is, while the DePauw colors are black and old gold, the Wabash colors are scarlet red and white.
The passenger units were painted in a “reddish†Maroon color and grey…not white.
I’m not trying to stir up a controversy, but I am confused. Any input?
