Everyone:

I agree-the new SEPTA Sprinter color scheme is quite disappointing...The earlier rendering that
Roadmaster posted looks so much better...I agree with Glenn and think that the oversized word
SEPTA on the side is not necessary - I feel the same way about the Silverliner 5 cars along with
their side striping...I also agree with the thought posted by Nasadowsk and R3 in which students
of art could have come up with a more interesting design...MACTRAXX

Nobody likes the paint scheme on the new Septa Sprinter....
But when it shows up in Philadelphia, you'll be able to cut the ensuing "foam" with a knife!! Guaranteed!

Bit rude, eh?

You're not going to miss the lone ALP-44?

That will match nicely with the Chinese multi-level cars.

Next to arrive on track one, the Fortune Cookie Flyer to Fox Chase.

Now boarding on track two, the Lo Mein Limited to Lansdale.

I think it appears orange because the photographer is somewhat shooting into the sun, and whatever is casting a reflection on the side facing us gives it that illusion. Septa's colors are Red, White & Blue if I'm not mistaken.
